Cuda Cody's collection

Built the shop out of old recycled signs too.  Had to get special permission from the county, but after looking at the specification of the MDO Sign Plywood (BCX) they concluded it was about 5 times strong then CDX which is the minimum code you can build with.   

Saved a lot of money using old sign boards!     Then used the extra money to over build the shop.  12" On Center studs without 12' of a corner, double / triple King & Trimmer Studs, doubled up every other stud on non load bearing walls, and double studded all load bearing walls.  Over-sized the glulams too.

Love it. A fully capable garage / shop. Sweat equity plus your Dad got to help you.. Too cool

Job well done Cody, so happy your father was with you to see it done. I too like to do things myself, I built my shop but it is not as nice as yours. But due to county code it is as big as I could make it.

Thanks for sharing Cody.  Looks great, a guy could spend hours there!

They just suck all the fun outta life don't they!    I have the same issues here.....

You just have to be creative Brad. Wendall Clarke, former Toronto Maple Leaf captain live in Vaughn. He wanted to build a small arena so he could have his own ice surface. The municipality wouldn't go for it but they let him put up a horse barn and riding arena. I'll give you one guess at what's in the riding arena.

I have already posted one time on this, but I was looking at the structure again, and it just wows me. That is the Taj Mahal of shops. My uncle always told me if you over build you never have to worry about it. So true. Oh yea cars not bad either, JOKE

[Chryco Psycho]

So if you cannot go bigger go down , go 3 levels underground with a lift !!

Hey Brad, if you do build that garage and could use a hand from a broken down old fart, just let me know buddy!

Cuda Cody you have 3 T/A's  Do you have any pics of the plum crazy T/A? Which one is your fav?

[Cuda Cody]

The Purple T/A has not been on the road in decades.  I'm finishing the engine on it next week and Brewers went through the transmission on it.  Just making it a fun driver for now.  Here's what it looks like.  Nice solid T/A (yes I fixed that gloss hood and painted it organosol)   

As for favorite?  I like them all!  Running or not, projects or show cars, I haven't seen an E-Body that doesn't get me excited.

I love the condition of that car. It's not rough and you can still drive it all over and truly enjoy it without worrying about a rock chip.

Is the plum crazy T/A for sale???

[Cuda Cody]

   not right now.  I' looked for a long time to find a clean rust free numbers matching 4 speed Purple T/A.  Just got it last summer so want to enjoy it a bit this summer.

Towing it on the trailer I think I got thumbs up and smiles per mile then any other car I've hauled.  Something about that FC7 that makes people happy!

That TA is a super nice looking car and well optioned too.  The thumbs  will continue once you have it on the road.

Quite a line for that car if you ever sell it I'm sure.
