                        Thanks Joe!

                        Most all of the work inside is finished. I'm concentrating efforts on the outside of the building now. While I'm waiting on the funds to do that it gave me the perfect opportunity to show the stocked internals of the building as well as some progress on the Foose 56 Ford F-100 Demon II build that I'm working on.

                          WooHoo! That is looking tremendous Joe. Looking even better with some muscle metal in there. 

                          P.S. Love the new poster. Lol!

                          Cleaned and tidied things up a little more. A more topside view to capture more of the items on display than the side photos did. Still working on the outside on this one.

                          I ended up buying a kit the other day from Hobby Lobby that had a die cast Coke machine in it. I just couldn't help myself. I HAD to have this for my shop dio. After thinking of how I was going to mask everything off and paint it up I decided to obtain an adhesive backed vinyl sheet used for sign lettering. It worked perfect. Cut it to fit, applied all the decals and painted the details.

                          Love your dio! I know that the 'tool box' part of it is pretty old in the forums but I am just thinking that so many of those boxes you see have a couple of drawers that are about an inch from being closed all the way. Not nit-picking but just wanted to point it out and am thinking it would ramp up the realism a little.

                          That's awesome, Joe.

                          But it brings up a bad memory. Back in the early 80's, probably, we had a Coke machine just like yours in the shop. I was young and wanted modern, I got rid of it in favor of a 'modern' pop machine.

                          To this day every time I see one I cringe. I have no idea if they are worth anything. Not the point.

                          That said, you have the next best thing, and it takes up less room.

                          Beautiful work so far. Is there a build thread on the PU? I see no battery chargers for power tools or compressor/piping/filters for air tools. I'm assuming the dio period would determine which. Just first cuppa rambling. PaulE

                          I love that old Coke machine!  If you want to do a modern garage:

                          It's a Doozy!  Possibly the simplest resin kit in the world - only one piece!  Waterslide decals too!

                          Hey, I am thirsty. How much for Coke? 10 Centavos? Thats one of them bend off bottle cap jobs isn't it. Remember how good a coke tasted when you were a kid? Man, what a treat it was. I loved the fizzy part.

                          It looks great,  sir!
