What would you build if money time and space were no issue.

Ok guys, what is your dream project if money, time, and space was not an issue.
I don't have a major "wish I could" type of project but I would like to have a couple of CNC machines. I would build a larger CNC Plasma table with torch height control and a water table. I would also modify a mill and lathe for CNC. I don't know what I would do with them other than play but they sure would be fun.
I have a small home built CNC plasma table now and really have fun with it. The challenge of going from concept to part is really the fun part of CNC. Once you have the process for a part down it is really easy to duplicate.
Your turn guys.

OK Gadget...
For starters 2ea of all Longevity Products with and endless supply of consumables.
A Steel building @ 80' x 100' (expandable or larger to begin with) with a 20' x 60' overhead crane wit an all smooth concrete floor to house the projects.
A decent steel inventory of all imaginable dimensions, with a decent selection of specialty Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Copper
Tools and more tools, can't have too many of those.
Be at least 40 years younger...!!!!
Custom boats, the kind nobody makes that could almost be used on the road with an asphalt chewing propulsion system... (ex: offshore mud boat)

Here goes
Like rhett , I would like to be 40 years younger and retired (as I am now). I would like to have all of the skills I am finding I need to teach these young kids welding, I would like enough machines so each kid could have a go at it each day (they are sharing now).
I would like to have good health until I am no longer able to function mentally.
Every thing else I have.

I like the 40 year reduction in age, but money can't buy that.

This would be the short list, a long list would take days to compile!
1) A large area to work in. maybe 60 x 100 ft (HEATED and AIR CONDITIONED) with plenty of 16 ft doors. 14 - 16 ft cieling. 5 ton over head crain.(walli to wal electric) lKitchen and bedroon.(when I get band from the house)

2) Cat / light truck lift.
3) 25 HP air system, refidged air dryer. (Externial to main shop)
4) New, lathe, Vert mill, dril press, cut off saw
5) Complete set of sheet metal tools. Break, sheer, etc.
6) Longevity 200P and Longevity MIG machines.
7) 5 ft x 10 ft CNC table
Large supply of steel, stainless steel stock
9) Enough MONEY to maintain the above!!!!!!!!!

Thats easy, 41 Willys Coupe, Seriously fat tires tucked under neath the back. 500+ Cu. In. Big Block Chevy with a ridiculosly large Supercharger sticking through the hood. Lots of custom, one off parts. This car would be a driver, no "Trailer Queen" here. I would also have a huge shop with lots of cool tools and equipment. Then on to the next hot rod on my list.

Had this conversation with my crew when I was still on the job. We all bought lottery tickets and talked about if we won. My answer is the same now as it was then: Ya see that 91 Astro van in the parking lot? I'd put me one sweet stereo in it...

A shop so far into the countryside that I'd never hear a barking/howling dog again!
