My plan, hopefully, is to finish all the noisy jobs on the car before we move, ie; hammering out dents, cutting metal, throwing tools etc. With that being said, I agree with what has been stated in that you should be able to do in your garage what you want as long as the noise is at a minimum.
Yes, I'm 64 years old and still play with cars.
One evening last December during one of the first nights of my stay at about 7:00 pm I hear this sweet sounding rumble that made me jump off the couch and head for the window. By the time I got there it was gone. A few days later I asked a neighbor about that lovely sound and she said that was her husbands street rod. Sweet turquoise all steel truck, tubbed with a nicely cammed SBC and of course great sounding exhaust. Bob has a shop in Fruitland Park where he does work on street rods and welding. Check my picture albums of the December 2008 and July 2009 cruise-in.
