Well in Dads actually. He and a few of his friends are building a kit plane. It's called an Escapade. Similar to a Piper Cub in Size and Style. If I get my way there will be some retro styling involved....
A 1995 V-8 Ford Mutang convertible (dark teal blue), 1961 Vespa 125 (powder blue), several bicycles, and a fairly decent wood working shop (with about 20+ feet of total bench top space.
2001 Ford Focus 3-door Hatch and a 2006 Yamaha Virago 250cc. I'll trade the Virago (affectionately called the Frigid *itch) for the Vespa. Or any pink scooter for that matter.
The @#$^*% shell of a @#$%*^ 60/70 blue Volkswagen Beetle that has been here ever since I moved in ('92) that belongs to The FIL. Along with numerous redundant parts for it, along with 2 @#&$%* engines in the basement and all the *&@^#$ specialty tools needed to put it back together again, which will never happen.
One half of the garage is storage for Halloween stuff, part of Halloween, some old office furniture (not as in vintage, but the Formica over chipboard type), the other half is tools, garden equipment and a classic mint condition Toyota that we just sold and are storing for a friend for a few weeks until his son's birthday. So along Halloween time, the garage should be pretty empty and I can clean out and reorganize everything. (So it says here in fine print...)
I HAVE a wet sad studebaker lark who doesnt have a home except a driveway, just took it over to my brothers garage so he can fix the dash by installing a new dash pad. MY daughter and i tried after 27 screws we gave up. 59Lark.fftopic:
There is a member here who built a Falco (airplane) in his garage. In fact there was an extensive magazine article written about it a few years ago. It took him several years. Hopefully he will post on this thread about it...and add pics.

The door from an apartment I lived in in the '90s -- the only remnant of a beautiful old 1880s building torn down to build a hideous chain drugstore, stolen by me just before the bulldozers ran.
Garbage cans. Full of garbage, for feeding the raccoons and skunks.
