July 1, 2006

It has been just under 2 years since I added anything to this site. During those 2 years I couldn't work on the car, but I never lost interest. I checked EBay every day for parts and did a lot of research on 62 Galaxies.

As I said in my last post, I moved to a new house and now have a pole barn to work in. Well, that's great, but it took me almost 2 years to get the house, garage, and pole barn in shape. I don't imagine anyone cares what the house looks like so here is a picture of the garage and pole barn. I had to wash the floors about 10 times to get it clean enough for the floor epoxy. Then I drywalled and painted the walls on the pole barn. After that I put in a drop ceiling with 12 four-bulb light fixtures in the pole barn. The garage walls and ceiling were already drywalled, but they were in need of severe patching.

I finished the garage after the house and I finally finished the pole barn this spring. Since then the only work I have done to the car was re-seal and paint the transmission, attach it to the engine, and drop them both on the chassis. I'll post some pictures of that in the near future.
