Re: Post pics of your garage / workshop

Took me about 5 years to save up enough $$$ to get it built, I still have to do bunch of work inside like insulation and finish walls/paint. Once I get it insulated/sheeted, I'll be building a bunch of shelves that will be about 8ft off the floor on two walls for the small stuff. it's work in progress.....

Re: Post pics of your garage / workshop

Thanks for the picture expansion and the compliment,Et!
Not all are Chevies.
The car under the car cover in the first picture is a 1986 Mercury Topaz.It was my mom's car.
The blue 1980,3/4 GMC with the commercial bed was my dad's work truck.
My friend says that my wife will be rich when I die!
I don't plan to die!
There's a bunch more cars and trucks outside too.

Re: Post pics of your garage / workshop

Congrats to your Dad (and probably you too) Zack, for saving all the neat
automobilia from your family buisiness and adding to it's charm with a true
working shop to display it in! What a treasure house!!

For the rest of the posts, congrats too! We have some great spaces here
plus, there is no such thing as a bad space to play with your truck...

...even the lowly driveway ROCKS!!

So hey Zack...since it's been a while since you started this thread,
what are you two up to now?

It looks to be from back in the 70s when the track (drag strip and motocross/speedway motorcycle track) was located on the site of what is now Miller beer. I grew up in west covina and my dad owned a union 76 station in monrovia and we would drive past the track while going to work with him. When the top fuel cars ran there in the late 60s early 70s I could hear them out my bedroom window (about 10 miles away) I was in elementary school and I remember the last race at Irwindale several guys who lived on my street who ran their street cars there regularly.

Wow that brings back some memories!

jgrisafi - what is that floor? It looks like it goes up just in front of your jack stands or the color is an illusion. Great space.

Here's a photo of my 2 car garage. The 72 GMC and 69 are in separate storage. You don't want to know what the other side looks like.

I could probably get one to match thru my vender ( they won't sell direct)

I would need to know exact hgt., width, how wide the stroke of the letter is and how deep it projects off of the wall

Richard

A paper pattern of the other C would be even better
