My garage is not that big and there is no more unused space in the garage. All my walls are covered with shelves, tools, and such. (A "working" garage)

Maybe I should just paint a Corvette logo on the floor.

Nice work, looks great! Tell us more about the bench. Was that a kit or did you design that yourself? Looks like you built the drawers. Nice job.

I got the work bench from Uline.

I wanted something sturdy that had adjustable legs (for bench table height). It didn't come with any drawers and the thick top sagged a little in the middle.

I figured I would make some nice drawers out of plywood, add a switch for the over head florescent light, and add some good support for the bench top as well. Now the top is nice and flat, no sagging at all.

Thanks Lee!

Yes, I think I have everything that I could possibly need for the Corvette now.


The Race Ramps (87" two piece) I have will even work with your lowered car too.

Looks great! You must have a house full of girls, I saw the toilet snake on the wall in a handy spot.

I had to move it over to a side wall.

Also, not seen in the photos, there is a 32" flat screen TV on a side wall.
