Dalton St. Garage, Waterville, ME (Completed Jan 18th, 2014)

This couple came to me with a request by reference of another friend of mine. They wanted a quote on how much a garage would cost them to have me build. I gave them a cheaper estimate than I should of because I was eager to jump into a new build so in hindsight the only thing I would change about this job is the time of year I chose to build it!

1984 VW Vanagon Welding Project

This vehicle restoration was one I took on for a cross-country trip I underwent with my brother Andrew and a close friend of ours, Adam, during the summer of 2013. I found the van on craigslist in Pennsylvania and when it got back to Maine, the turmoils of an antique vehicle began to reveal themselves slowly. Never the less, when the winter maintenance was for the most part through, I hatched the plan to build a gas tank and spare tire rack on...
