Just finished the building. Still got to complete the inside. Got the flooring last week. Black, white, red and blue racedeck. It is a work in progress but the Vettes seem happy!

Mind saying the cost involved? And the size? Looks very nice

This is my shop/garage, and it does have a fridge!
The Vette has to share space but it doesn't complain!

I think I should just sell my house and build a shop like these and toss a cot to sleep in somewhere in a corner!

Great garages guys!! Loved the OP's with the Kingpin next to the vette. I have the same bike next to my Z in the garage at home.

Here's my contribution.

5 car garage. Three bays in front, two in back (tandem). Excuse the mess, I was installing new parts this weekend. It's partially cleaned up, but not all the way. Those big boxes on the floor contain two more cabinets that will be put together in the next few weeks. They will go right next to the existing cabinets. That will help clear off the workbench!

The bay with all the crap is awaiting the purchase of a storage shed for outside. Then that crap will all leave the garage. Timing will coincide with the purchase of the four post lift that will be stored in that bay as well. Just waiting for economy to more fully recover.

On to the pics.















When I work on my cars, my son likes to come out and work on his green truck. I give him a towel and a spray bottle full of water. He goes to town on that thing. Not bad for a 4 year old!


The red pegs on the wall hold my spare set of wheels/tires. The spares are currently on the car as the good ones are out for repair.


My son helped me take the pictures last night. He looked at the posters on the wall and said, Daddy I see her but! I lightly commented, huh. Sure do. But look at the car son.... And that's why it's in the back of the garage away from stray kids/dads that walk into the garage...



Edit - Almost forgot the obligatory C5 shots. Here it is in the garage before it was filled up.

Default New House = New Garage

I just settled on a house with a 31x44 garage out back. I've got to paint the floor and add additional 220v circuts for the lift and air compressor before I can move the lift and give the corvettes a new home. Luckily the old house isn't sold yet. I'll leave the 07 in the house garage so the wife can drive it.

It's not insulated yet so I'll be busy this winter (when business allows).

Talk about transforming a shop. Looking great Chip.

Mojo1. That yellow stripe on the wall makes that place. That is one fine looking hang out.
