How cheap?
Not cheap enough to make it worth your while to drive out here and get it.
Man door in
How cheap?
He is lying so worth your while. It has tons less rust, I think.
Door looks good.
How cheap?
Are you seriously interested Ethan?
It's an 84 454 4 speed 205.
Anyway a bit more work accomplished
Man door in.
This is all I can get done on my other garage door. By myself.
Head hurts too much to do ladder work.
Soon I will be enclosed though which is awesome
This picture makes me excited.
Definitely not until the other truck sells. Need to thin the herd before I can pick up another one. But it sounds like a good starting point.

Lemme know. It's a one ton base model. Would be a good start.
Me too! It'll be great to have a real shop to work in, and give the garage back to the wife.
Nice progress Eric, fully enclosed shop is going to be life changing man.
That blue crew would be a great project for someone looking for an unmolested rig to start from, plus 454 and manual, what's not to like?

I think there's a mouse in your tailpipe.
Could be. That cat is our smallest by far, but probably our best mouser. The cats do a dang good job of keeping the rodent population down.
Sometimes working is fustrating. Went to put the other panels on the garage door. Yah I didn't put the bottom panel in. The one with the nice weatherstripping.
Tried to jockey the door around. Bent a hinge.
After that we just disassembled the door and started over. Trying to get my buddy over here to help me finish one of the doors before Christmas, but you know right before Christmas soo probably not gonna happen.
It's all good though I only have 1 2 foot panel to put on. So even if it snows a decent amount should keep most of it out

Garage doors are voodoo.....
24 sq ft from having a closed on shop... badass
Nice work, Eric!

48 sq ft. to be exact. And yes freaking voodoo lol. That's why I am likely to wait till my buddy can help. He has been installing em for 10 years so he can buzz through the adjustments

Also 12x12 doors are huge and awesome!
If using OSB. Go 16 on center but stagger them. 6" sills with 4" studs. Wrap the insulation under every other stud. Keeps solid wood transfer from outside to in down to almost 0, for the best insulation. And same with sound.... But it gives you 32" centers for inside mounting studs.
I'm actually pretty much at zero transfer anyway. It's a pole barn and I already have a layer of 1" foam insulation. My inner stud walls won't touch the girts.
I'm working on making sure that everything is decoupled. Stud walls will be decoupled by just how they are built with some strategically placed foil type insulation. Sheet rock and OSB will be the same.
Oh and figuring out costs. The extra cost of doing 16" center studs will be made up in insulation cost. So 16" centers it is
