36" by-pass would work out OK. Opening would be 82" high but can change that some. All the closet door are 2 - 24" wide doors except in the laundry room which has 2 - 4' wide doors.
What are you currently working on??

is HO scale something like 1/64 ...?
Yes that's pretty close. HO scale slot cars can fluctuate from 1/87 to 1/64. They can't really be any wider than 1-1/16" or they can't sit side by side on the track.

So you run that truck on a track.?? too cool ...
I don't race them myself right now but the club I helped start back in 2001 races them as part of their schedule. I can post a pic of a fleet of cabovers that I lettered several years ago. The slotcar stuff was getting too time consuming for me and I had a 6-1/2' x11' 6 lane track taking up a large part of my shop. I sold the track to the same guy I lettered the political truck for.

Since today is the last of the 50° days for a while, Steve and I got a rick of wood split and stacked! Got a stash in the shop if I chose to go out there and build a fire. But Fri., Sat. & Sunday are not going to be good days. Starting as rain then a mix and then snow! YUK!
Common name for 1/3 of a cord.... 4’x8’x16”
At least in this part of the country.
I've only seen a Rick of wood on the internet, never heard anyone say it. These parts its a "face cord" "cord" or by the truck load.
Had that happen to my son's cub original. Fresh paint job but the tractor had sat after paint in pieces up in the attic for like 3 years before being reassembled.so well cured. The very first time he put gas into it, what was put in the night before was on the floor in the morning/ along with much of that fresh paint. Tractor was blasted bare just the day before the paint job. (I took it in and paid for that part and then hauled it back to the career center) That will be the last time that I use case IH iron gard paint, that is certain.

Right now, eating at cracker barrel or rather, waiting for my food.
Finally got a Christmas tree today. Don't feel much like Christmas this year.
Hardly anyone selling real trees this year.
But not feeling like the season because of my wife's brother dying and what his deadbeat girlfriend is doing to the mother in law. Can't say here what I'd like to see happen to her as a result.
Today I got the rotted out tailgate with it's rusted seized hinges off of the Wrangler, and got the new valves in my S16, the old exhaust was necked badly on the stem right under the head, got a pair of those Taiwan ones from the guy with all the eBay overhaul kits from Ohio, hopefully they'll last till I can do a proper overhaul on that engine
.seems to start easier now. It has been backfiring thru both the carb and the exhaust when I go to start it up in this cold weather but not when it's warmer out.
