Re: Where do you store/work on your race car?

I am fortunate to have a nice size garage with air, electric, MIG/TIG, drill press, etc., but I have to keep the car outside. So work really slows down when winter comes. But, it kind of gives you that much more of a sense of accomplishment when you get something done, like installing a 10pt, and it comes out nice.

At the shop. Had to bring the Camaro in out of the cold since I'm not running antifreeze.

Mine is a two car garage with all my tools and whatever parts I've collected over the years. The only thing I truly trip over sometimes is my drum set,lol
