Hopefully will have some resto parties coming up Anytime someone wants to come over and lend some expertise and a wrenching hand just give me a yell. Fridge will be out there Sunday and will be stocked at all times.

Propane heater getting hooked up to keep the cars cozy in winter

Thanks guys this garage has been my dream since i started driving. Have always had to work on my toys and keep them outside. Plus if you notice the driveway leading up to the garage is dirt. Bad enough working on a car outside but laying in the rocks and dirts just adds to the fun. Like i said if anyone close by wants to check it out or do some wrenching just give me a yell. You'll also notice its very dark around th eoutside....no neighbors around, makes it nice when messing with a car late at night and not have to worry about firing em up

that's actually linoleum. The floor is wood and we didn't want any oil or chemicals getting to it so we got some long sheets of linoleum and glued em down. Probably going to do the center section in a dark hardwood to finish it off. This garage is going to get em divorced though lol. I am just now getting in at 2:00am after going out at about 8pm. I was putting together a sand blasting cabinet we got at a tool sale today and was stuck on a conference call at work. Also have the fridge out there now too I'll take some pics tomorrow need to shower and get to sleep now.
