Default Garage remodel, all DIY
I just completed my garage/ workshop update yesterday and of course left room for my C7. This is a working garage that I build prototypes for my business in as well as do many other DIY projects around the house. I built everything myself and it's been a lot of early mornings before the kids wake up. ( of course I pull the car out whenever I'm working on something). Here are the results:

I'm mostly interested in that mini C7. Is it faster than its big brother?

Beautiful, functional. Looks like you gave some thought to the importance of good lighting. I didn't see a fridge for the beer, but that probably says more about me than it does about you.

I ordered it online almost 3 years ago. It's the first style of them they made.

If I could fit one, there's always a possibility of it down the road.

Theres a beer opener mounted to one work station, but if it makes you feel any better I have a bourbon bar i built in my basement.

Looks fantastic! Only recommendation unless I missed it is perhaps a dust collector. If you're doing metal, then probably not an issue but just throwing that out there. Love the storage, layout and design except now you're confined to only one toy car!
