I cannot lie... I effing love the black vert with the hot pink "flames"! Reminds me of something I would have thought was amazingly awesome when I was in grade school. I had such a hard on for mini-trucks and neon drip, splatter, flame paint jobs.

Nice collection of cars.

 

Thanks, ya the pink really grows on you. The woman wants to put it back stock, would of had Silver ground effects. I am torn, the pink flames really make it eye catching at anytime. I was pulled over 5 days after buying it.

Figured others would wonder where I do my work so took some shop pictures. It's not organized very well since for last couple years have been travelling for work. I am now staying where I can come work on these cars on a regular basis.


Outside of shop. Fenced yard, have 5 parking spots outside. Have fit 6 cars in the shop and think with some moving around can fit 7 if needed for storage.

What I call the parts department, looking at putting in those heavy duty costo shelves in.



Back Area, as I mentioned just stopped travelling. Still moving stuff around and getting rid of stuff that is in storage. This is mainly a storage area at this time.

THis looks like they were setting up a spray booth. It is storage right now but may turn it into a booth yet.


Main work area. As you can see not organized very well. Still making/building/figuring out organizing stuff. Recently built a welding table. Next is a cart for the MIG, stand for the bench grinder, tables for the Sandblast cabinet, cut-off saw and belt sander.

Obvious, where my longest term project is sitting.

 

You got all sorts of 80's paint jobs hanging around there. Is this your messy garage or your business? Looks like you have all sorts of room for mischeif! lol

I don't think I have ever seen a 91 RS with silver GFX on it... I bet it does not look all that great. Go back to all black if your going back to stock. I honestly couldn't drive it with pink flames.

Post pics of the cars now

 

This is just my shop. I got a very good deal on it because it has no water so most people don't want it. Can't run a very good business without water/sewer.

I think I measured it once and I have just over 2000 sq.ft.

All the previous pictures are current, taken today.

Here are some pictures from my garage on Fquick with little bit about each.



Bought this year 2012 2LT M6 Sunroof, Crystal Red Tintcoat w/Silver stripes


1993 Z28 A4 Black Metallic
Bought 2008 with 86k miles on it. Was my present for passing my Journeyman Test Still running strong, has a broken bolt on the exhaust manifold so has an exhaust leak. Have only replaced Optispark once so far.


1991 RS Vert 305/A4 $1000

Stole this from a dealer who mis-listed the price on craigslist. Runs great, transmission shifts funny so thinking may need to replace it. Top is toasted and currently isn't on it. Needs minor cosmetic fixing exterior and interior.

1989 Iroc-Z 305/A4 $1500
Most recent purchase, runs great. Needs minor tune up/maintenance done and paint.



Bought this in 2009 for $300. 1985 T-Type. I saved this one from being parted out. 1 of 1200. Missing pieces you see, but looking at fixing it this winter. Engine is partially torn apart. Plan is to pull engine and quick rebuild. Find the front clip and make it a driver. It is missing the orig. rearend, which will be looking for a replacement has the weak 7.5 in it now. Not being a Buick guy have tried to get rid of this a couple times but I am picky. I want it to go to someone who is going to fix it. It's complete with no rust with rare bench seat and column shift.


1984 Z28 305/A4 $200
I bought this back in 2010 just because it was cheap and I like making stuff run. Didn't really need it. Decided to fix it and give it to GF's son. There is a thread elsewhere with videos and such of my work last couple weeks on it.



1977 LT Factory 350/AT $500
Bought this in 2008 to be a project car. Had most of the pieces to put together and get it running then started working out of town, then moved. Looking at getting engine installed and this one motivated under it's own power this winter. I have only every seen 1 other car this particuliar color "Aqua" Was a Aqua white top, white interior car. Not putting top back on, will get white racing stripes instead.

 

1971 Camaro 350/M4 $400

Bought this car back in 2010. Factory was a Black car, not sure why they painted it blue.
The owner before the guy I got it from actually lives close by here, been trying to get him to meet me and give me more info on the car but he has ignored me so far. I didn't really need this car or project having enough of them. The price was good tho' for a factory V8 car and they are getting harder and harder to find. It needs basically back end sheetmetal.


1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix free
This is a maybe project, have though about it. I don't know if I will ever get to it. It was owned by my uncle back in 73 when it was parked. Very possible that I was in this car as an infant. It has been parked on our family property since then.



Of course the work horse :P
