Think I got enough room to tear into her? Need some shelving, work bench, storage, etc., but this is where the magic will finally happen.

Default New garage

Nice digs for the Vette and a couple other working / playing machines. I have a 36 x 50 pole barn that has a 10' shop area on one side that is concrete, large gravel area maybe 25' in the middle and another gravel area about 15' on the other side. Hope to get the middle put to concrete maybe later this year.

Our '78 shares space in our two car garage on the end of the house.

So what's the first Vette project for the new garage?

Take care

Very nice. I have just barely enough room to walk sideways between the two cars.
