What I wouldnt give for that garage!!

 

My toybox

 

Nice house decorations, but they look very expensive!

 

I showed my wife this pic & she laughed at me....... I guess she was trying to tell me something......

 

So many nice garages lol.... mines nowhere near as fun (and I only have a few pictures, all of which are bad).

 

Your garage makes an income I bet though

 

dimensions?

 

My shop is still a work in progress. Hoping to put a 16x16 roll up door on it with my tax money. About to finish up running the electric and will start insulating. I have some rusted tin I have been collecting to use as paneling inside. As for now the Camaro is sitting in a bay of our hay barn.

 

LOVE your Z!! The larger IROC wheels, all red...the stance. Car looks perfect!

 

My Camaro is squeezed between tires, garbage, recycling boxes and... my z06! No room to work at all. The Zo6 is going to spend next summer outside so I can modify that tpi engine.

 

By garage you mean "friends driveway"? Lol

There's my two vehicles, and where the car was built.

 

I've been waiting awhile to post in this thread. Finally have a detached, two car garage to work on my car. When I started, the garage was very basic. No insulation on the inside, old wiring, two old shop lights and a concrete floor that was cracked with major pitting. Starting in June, I ran new conduit from the house, installed all new wiring, extra outlets, and 4 very bright dual T-8 fluorescent shop lights. Insulated the walls and rafters. Put 1/2" OSB around walls and painted with two coats oil based primer and two coats of finish paint. Applied skim coats of leveling concrete on floor in two stages (about 650 lbs concrete total). Finished it off with concrete sealer and 3 coats concrete floor paint. Also built a wood work bench along the back wall. Took about 5 months and I had a lot of help from my dad and cousin. It didn't think it would take so long but things add up. I now have a 20 gallon air compressor, 30,000 btu propane heater and plenty of room! Will be a busy winter in there stripping down the car.

 

Here's a side shot of the two car garage at the place my fiance and I were living at until life hit and we had to move somewhere cheaper. This was taken while I was changing the oil and rotating tires. Had a 305 sitting in that corner for awhile. Got lots and lots of work done in there, loved it. Be thankful if you have a place to work on your car, some of us can't get anything done at all

 

Mine hasnt spent much time in its own garage.

 

Still getting myself set up in my new garage.

 

Love it!!

 

I just have enough room to park....and do little things like oil changes.... but im broke and 18 years old, im lucky enough that my parents let me use the garage and park outside so i wont complain. i see some beautiful garages in this thread

 

wow some of these garages are AMAZING lol. makes my 24x24 look like crap. anyway here are some pics of mine. one when we first moved in and put the trans am in its new home and a more recent one with both cars in sideways and tons of clutter.

 

Its messy but you can see the other unfinished projects we have hiding in the back, hopefully I can get the GTA out this summer and finish it and the 5.3 swap.

 

Thats a nice set up Chazman. So much room. I love it!!!

 

Sorry fellas, can't help myself. Both nothing special and extremely special at the same time.. I'm sure you all know.

 

Very cool!

 

Bump! Lets see some more! I can't wait to get a house and have a garage!

 

Found a pic of the inside of my garage... kinda'

 

This is my detached garage I build a few years ago. Inside is my black 87 IROC (which I'm just finishing up), my blue 87 IROC project (still deciding what I want to do), my 50 Studebaker Champion (getting there), and my 02 Z06.

 

Man, I can't imagine the money in some of these garages....

 

In her room that she shares with my daily driver '95 Grand Am, and a '94 Yamaha V-max snomobile.






Gettin' ready for a new catback.

 

THIS IS THE GARAGE I BUILT AND THE *****'S I BUILT CAMARO IS IN THE SHOP
THAT'S ME WITH THE COFFEE

 

beautiful, just. . . beautiful, i hope to do something like all these garages with my own garage

 

Mine is a disaster right now with the IROC is pieces. I cant wait for the day I dont have to do bodywork inside the garage, makes such a mess. Dust and overspray is on everything.

Anyways here are a few pics of my mess.

 

no door?

 

All these pics make me wanna throw everything inside the garaga away so I can fit my cars inside and work on them in comfort.

 

you'd be glad you did, such a relief parking inside knowing your car is safe from people to the elements, you can work on it when ever like rain, snow, ect. And it's really nice in the winter when you can heat the garage and work or you can build an engine at your leasier

 

I installed a fuel oil furnace from an old mobile home in my garage and even on the coldest of days here in Michigan I can work in a t-shirt

 

...and even better in the summer with air conditioning!

 

Iv got a big propain salamander in there for the really cold days and a big kerosean heater that's made to heat a house . Gotta love an insulated garage

 

Iv got that too

 

I remember the days when I used a kerosene fired salamander, but the heat was localized to only a few feet and the fumes would get pretty intense after awile.

 

It's a little trashed since I've been working on the trans am.

 

the salamander iv got is propain ran and it heats the garage up very nice, i normally put it near my garage doors and let it blow towards the back of the garage where i normally work and it will normally get too hot after about an hour, so i shut it off and turn on my kerosene heater and put it near the center of the garage and it heats very well. i can normally wear just a shift after about 30 minutes. i use to run just 2 electric heaters before i got these. BIG difference!!! normally though if im not in the garage and iv got snow or ice on my car ill turn the electric heaters on and let them warm it up enough to melt the ice and snow. but iv never had a problem with a smell, every once in awhile after my kerosene runs out of fuel ill get the smoke from it so ill leave the garage and let it run for a while with the door cracked and my exhaust fan on in the ceiling.

 

I luv the color scheme flat black, flat black, flat black, flat black.

 

Mine has A/C, heated floors, a bathroom w/urnial, pizza oven, beer fridge, parts storage in attic, 2post lift, dual stage air compressor and a 50" tv with speakers in the ceiling.
My house is a dump... lol

 

Not sure if Im allowed to post a link but this is a pretty cool site... http://www.garageretreat.com/

 

Yes, there is a door to my garage. It is a 9' door, so it is just hard to see from the picture. The heater wouldn't work very well with no door

 

then why's the camaro....frozen? Lol

 

My new shop and old buddy!

 

It looks kinda lonely sittin there

 

It's not anymore wife's car and 55 bel air in there now with more "stuff" arriving daily. Lol

 

HA... That picture was taken the day I picked up the blue IROC. It had a blown motor and we towed it about 50 miles. It had snowed hard the night before and the roads were covered in salt. So all that white you see on the blue car is salt spray from being towed behind the Yukon
