Amen Bonovox...Truer words could not be said about what the Mrs. wants.

Sometimes too machines look better on a picture than in person, and if a machine is to go in a beautiful rec room, or family room, having it in it's natural state usually does not fly with the mrs. of this board lol.

 

Wait a min... you mean you get to put yours IN the house!!! JK, I'm banned from anywhere but my mantown and garage, but I can live with that!

I hear you on the Mrs. I asked to put them on the patio and she said they go in the shop. So I guessing is time to build another one to store the finished cars and other toys. Can't be welding and grinding around these things

[BONOVOX]

I'm pusing my limits as it is alredy..... I have 9 machines in the finished basement.... with a Victor 31 as a bar, and 3 110's still to come lol.... after each one I kept saying it would be the last.... but you know what... they all work where I have them, and when people come over they LOVE to look and talk about them.  Who needs furnture when you can have embossed fridges?!?

Please don't all you jump on me for asking but isn't that 81 just too nice to restore?

Yeah would like to see it using that cleaner Glen was talking about and a buffer... From the picture I
would think it's a nice survivor and would leave as is.. but thats me...

Thanks for the link but I had better wait on my restoration before I dip into another one. I don't need the Mrs. angry

Ah, just get it, they get over it, eventually.

I was gonna add a thought like that.
If those pieces are in original condition it would be a shame to restore them.
Like another member noted,...they are yours,..but I'd keep the idea bouncing around anyway.

I often see people take rust free muscle cars still wearing original paint and fully restore them and it makes me wonder why.
But hey,...whatever you do,...it's still cool.
