That is a cool looking house, but I'm wondering about your garage signs. 
Yeah.Nice House, that an old Craftsman??? Pig nice too looks Happy!!
It is a 1912 that I have fully restored. I guess I like old things!
A few years ago I built that shop with an apartment above.
Now with the pig, I have my first real project in there.
They all have stories...That is a cool looking house, but I'm wondering about your garage signs.
You might need that apartment after you've gotten the wagon up to DD status. Wine & Flowers.

Wow that front bench seat! I’m jealous. What are you doing for front turn signals? Btw I’ve had mine up to at least 55 (and I still managed to keep most of the fillings in my teeth)
Nice, you've owned it for 26 years congrats.! Front turn signals from cruiser corps and a fellow Mudder is working on printing some 55 pedestals. The lights are same as 40's on our older ones.

Love that color! A little rubbing compound and an afternoon of elbow grease I bet it shines right up
Thank you! Like most places I’ve looked, these show out of stock, but I’ll start looking at the 40 series options. Mine are shot (and the area on the fenders where they mount is slowly rusting away)Nice, you've owned it for 26 years congrats.!

I’ve seen your rig around, over by Hawkins on 1400 I think
I need to pay your shop a visit
I bought a set of new 40 reproductions that are available from several places then ground down the base to the correct 55 angle. My backup plan was to pull the bases from my old turn signals but the grind down option worked nicely. The front bench seat and rear seat both have SOR seat covers so they look good but they really need to be completely redone for some real comfort. As soon as I get my ignition switch issue sorted we should meet up half way somewhere!
halfway sounds good, in the wintertime lol. I’m rocking that non existent AC
my backseat is original and totally shot. I’ll have to check out that seat cover
So what do you do in your shop? Besides replace a 1F/2F with a 2UZFE??
Winter for sure. No AC for me either. Took me 7 months to get my lights working as none of them worked when I bought it. Now I have an Ignition switch issue. Next up for me is disc brakes.
