This is where the magic happens....

This is the place where Phillip takes a "rust bucket" and turns it into something wonderful - like a '56 Ford pickup or a '73 Ford Bronco. Currently he is working on the Bronco and he spends hours in this building.

Working on this:

The last picture that I posted was the Bronco without the motor, so a lot of progress has been made. He literally has taken this vehicle TOTALLY apart and cleaned, repaired, and painted every single inch! It is amazing to me.... Now in case you are picturing my husband sweating away on these hot summer days, think again....his shop is airconditioned and stays cooler than our house.

Notice the panels of plastic hanging from the ceiling - this is his paint booth. When he paints he drops the panels and he has air filters in each panel (see the blue squares). He lots lots of other things that he does (involves fans, the air conditioner and I don't know what else) to make this booth work. Pretty ingenious!

He sprayed this stuff that they use to line pick-up truck beds on the interior.

And he loves every minute .....

Can you believe this engine? It looks brand new, but it is the original engine.

Phillip has made a roll bar and ordered new foam and covers for the seats. He's getting pretty close to being finished.

Oh yes, below you see his secret for keeping up with all of the parts - items laid out on a table and small parts separated into ziploc baggies and carefully labeled.

I hope you've enjoyed this post about Phillip's project. However, if you know of an old car that needs a little TLC, don't let Phillip know, we are running out of room....
