Hey its not a garage but itll do for now!

 

All A man needs..his tools, his car and a place of his own!!!

 

A garage is a key tool in a car restoration........otherwise you spend all sorts of money taking it to someone else's.......

 

A year and a month ago I moved my shop from a 4 x 8 foot storage building to a 20 x 30 foot garage. It looked kind of empty.


And now, no wonder I am so damn broke all of the time.

 

Not all thirdgens, but this is where my car is at the moment. My new project GTA is outside for now, but as soon as I finish stripping my firebird, the GTA will be inside, and the firebird outside. I wish it was still this empty inside, but there are now 2 more old mustangs in there, another 65 and a 66. My firebird is now where the black 65 is, and its a pain in the butt to work on the passenger side, since its right up against the wall. When we move the GTA in, we're gonna re arrange cars and make more room.

 

Hehe, this is what the 'bird looks like now, kinda. The front wheels, rotors and struts are gone, as well as the dash, seats and steering column.

 

oops

 

Though not exclusive for the 'bird, I'm working on it...

 

ok ok my car is spoiled

 

My dad's garage, dont have one of my own ...... yet. 'Till my wife and I graduate and get jobs, this works great! Heated/insulated, though it doesnt have the best lighting.

 

Definetly, who would put checker tile for a shop floor, but then agian i guess its easy to clean

 

nice setups............no nice garage but it has it's own traveling home.

 

i hate you all

 

Not the greatest pic, but here's mine.

 

although it still needs a ton of work, I bought a house last year with a 38 x 41 ft garage. It only has one small door, so because of how i'd have to pull cars in and out, i can only really do like 6 or 7 cars in there, but it would fit 8 if i had better doors (which i will eventually).

Here was mine:

The good news, the garage has been replaced with a four car garage, the bad news, the blue Z28 has been sold.

 

Here's mine, these are old pics, I've since then gussy'd up the old garage.
New pics soon .

 

I just got my first house recently and it is gonna be SO nice having an oversized two car garage to work in! I told my wife "ITS MINE". heheheeh..

I moved from an apt that only had a 1 car garage and that was near impossible to work in. I guess I was used to the oversized 3 car garage that I grew up with in my parents house.

 

Those sure are some nice wheels you have there!

 

Here's mine.....

 

I hate you all as well...

flrtn1 thats an awsome looking garage, ES87 too!

SpeedJunkie - how much did that think set you back, and do you have any exterior pics? I've been wanting to invest in something like that for my gravel pit to keep the elements off my baby til I graduate and can buy a real house.

 

I have the same "garage" as SpeedJunkie. I got mine from Costco for $200. It hasn't help up too well with the wind and winter. One of sides are failing off, i keep repairing it but it breaks again. I'm painting my car in there, it's not the best paint booth but it'll work.

 

Yeah I got mine for about $180. Its held up pretty well and I reinforced the roof to make sure a foot of snow wouldnt come through during the winter. There are many companies that make them and some are crap but some are pretty well made. Just be sure to grab some condiut and reniforce any part you like. I actually gonna start biulding a bench in the back there next to the shelveing unit.

Those sure are some nice wheels you have there!



Here's the new wheels going on this week, just waiting on those High dollar BFG G-Force KD's to show up.

 

mine

 

Thats almost evil looking!

 

These are my quarters. How about juniors car in the lower right?

 

man guys im pretty jealous wished i had a good sized garage at least 2 and half car and a lift in mine.

look how tight mine is for gettin in and around and workin on anything.

i move fourwheeler out to make more room to work.

 

another pic

hmm my hatch looks unevenly lifted in this one? might be cuz my struts are shot and i got a board holding it up on the side thats higher im pretty sure.

 

here's mine,not much,better than it wasSorry,gotta figure out how to post pic...DOH

 

damn you people!!!! my cars get to sit outside

 

my car sits in my jobs huuuuuuge garage haa. sits in a 6 bay midas garage.. but thats only till it's done adn then i've got to get a little something for it like i used to have a canopie i think i might get another one.

 

The wheels were on there only as temps while the drag radials were being put on my wheels. We'd just got done cleaning in this pic, so most of the tools weren't back in place yet...but you get the general idea.

 

lol......that's the best example of wide wheels i've seen to date on our cars. classic.

 

OMG!!!!!!!!

If you are married, I assume that your wife hates you?

FREAKING NICE, EVERYTHING!!!!!

Nice motor, and really nice garage, love the floor!!!

What's your E/T?

 

lol, Thanks, that’s actually my wife’s bike in the back ground
I haven’t had the car to the track since 88 and it had a totally different set up on it then, but it does ok

 

Cool, you need to get that out and get some updated E/T's! When you do, let me know. I am 75% finished with my 91 which I hope to pull into the mid to low 10's with.

I said that about your wife because I have already been divorced because of my overwhelming love for cars, so just by looking at that garage I just assumed the wife gets sick of it all, like all the women in my life.

Anyway, nice all around buddy!

 

Meet the family, all a little camera shy I guess

1969 Nova, tpiroc of course, and the Fitty:

Workin on my 86 Iroc. Sanding so everytings has red dust on it

hey fatal88, can i have some money? Looks like your over burden with coin.

 

fatal88, those cars make that garage awesome... do i see a LT-4 30th aniversery camaro???

for some of you people with clean garages... how is it so clean??? when i clean my garage it's back to **** in 2 weeks.

 

heres mine, i gotta clean it again and ill try and get a better shot of it.

 

And I thougt mine was bad I think the rule for when you build a garage is figure how big you want it,then go a little bigger.

 

No matter HOW vast you build it, you WILL find a way to fill it... I gaurantee it!

 

You all make me sick.
This is what I have to work with,


(this is the cleanest it as been)

 

DAMN Fatal you have one incredible toy collection there!

:hail:

Thats not fair I dont' get a garage

 

Heres my shop, 21 x 26. That's the project TargaZ28 sitting up on jackstands. The door in the background leads into the polishing shop, 21 x 10. Later this summer i'm going to finish painting both shops and putting in the celling insulation.
