Default Lets See Your Garage !!!

I started this same thread over in the Pontiac forums when I had my Lemans. Two years later it is still one of the top threads with 25000 views and hundreds of posts.

I LOVE cool garages, mine is a work in progress. It has some cool stuff, but it also has a lot of crap in it still that needs to go away. I have my stereo and a TV out there and I hang out and watch movies and crank the tunes with a Guinness or a glass of wine.

So let's see where your C3's hang out.

Here is mine.....

You have a beautiful garage. Maybe you should put up a new sign that says "Corvette's Place".

If you look around there is all kinds of stuff. LOTS of Hudson memorabilia, that is my last name so I kinda collect the stuff.

As for Mopars, I like em. Almost had a unrestored 70 Superbird for 10 Grand about a year or so ago. Someday I'll tell that story. I was so excited for a few days I could not sleep.

Yes this is where I do my work. This was right before doing the body off on the Silver 65. The 67 had a full suspension rebuild the year prior

Hard to see in this pic, but my garage has three bays in the front and 2 in the back. I have too much work to do on the vettes to decorate it..even though I do have plans to drywall and light it up better. It has a very powerful propane furnace mounted and it can go from 30 degrees to 65 in about 10 minutes. I currently have 3 vettes in there.

Not that far from me. Nice garage though! Does the floor still stay cold with that heater?

Default My garage

Here are some pictures of my Chevrolet dealership/museum. I have it set-up with a parts counter, waiting area, and new car salesman's desk. Everything is original Chevrolet GM dealership items with no reproductions. Double click on the picture for a larger image. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks,
Bob Beck

The old place :


And the new place


The new place is a bit more cramped, but it has a lift, and more importantly, it has heat.

Same place.
And do you really kick back with a Guiness or a glass of wine?? I thought that was a joke when I read the original post...I guess I just don't think of hangin' in the garage over a nice weekend job on the Corvette and "pouring myself a nice merlot."

I guess "to each his own" and if your man space is a place to have a nice glass of wine then so be it.

The concrete does warm up after a while..but it stays kinda cold. Are you from H-Ville? I think I talked to you on another site. Weren't you looking for a C4 or something?
