When I built the garage I did not want or have room for a bench along a wall so bought a work bench from Costco It is big and on nice industrial size wheels so I can move it to where I am working. Then I needed a place for my vice etc so Russ took me down to where his son works and I scrounged an old dump truck brake drum from the scrap heap,used it for a base for my new work stand.
Then I drilled holes and welded nuts under  for all my different tools,now I can wheel the stand around like an OXY bottle ,take it outside where I can beat on things,grind etc. Very happy with it and it only takes up a little space.

Last couple of days I mounted my 46 car park lights and a 46 car hood ornament that I got from Roger. Also mounted a 41 ford tail light for a third brake light. Got the backup lights  in I put them down on the rolled pan below the tail gate.Now I will go to a spring shop and get them to make me two bumper irons for the front left and right.I made a pattern out of flat strap and they can copy it in spring steel.The Plymouth bumpers have the bolts welded in so it all looks smooth.
