Let's See Your Garage / Workshop !!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Post up some photos of your workshop / garage / barn or wherever you do your wrenching!

Being an old fart, this was my 3rd attempt over the years of building a shop.

This one has an insulated work shop one the left, and storage on the right.

I added the 2 post lift a few years after I did the building, and the four post I added when I bought my '65 so I could store it under my trailer.

Notice the hinged worktop that folds down for extra space.

These pictures are from a couple years ago... not quite so sanitary looking now.

This is my current shop I built behind my house. I wanted to include an RV bay, but the
city limited the shape and height of my roofline, so I ended up redrawing the plans for a 12x20 office space.
This is several years old when I just finished the shop...

...finished sheetrock and overhead lighting then finished roof and stucco to match the house...

...where there's a fuel altered and the '63 C-10 are usually scattered about.

Now you two don't go getting all envious of my shop lighting . . .....

...it adds about 300 hp, enough to spin the blower over until the methanol lights off.

Hey SCOTI... how much is your trash bill per month?

Just givin' you some crap. I love the old pick of the square body with the rallys on it.

That is the workspace... that and a very worn out picnic table.

This is the dump I do most of my dirty work in. There is also my garage here at the house but it is full of cars and trucks and parts.

nomrlz · 08-02-2010, 01:58 PM

glad my shop/garage isn't the only one that seems to be a perpetual disaster

this is just infront of the the turbo bikes slot. you can just see the intercooler on the right edge.

Rogue · 08-02-2010, 10:38 PM

No pics of my multi-functional facility.

Alan's Classic · 08-02-2010, 11:00 PM

I broke my addiction to Miata's. Me and the wfe have thought about selling the last one a 1992 Sunburst yellow. I repainted it and put new carpet in. Still needs a top.

Alan's Classic · 08-02-2010, 11:08 PM

Here's my man cave.

These pics are when I first moved in 3 years ago. Now I can't hardly move. I can't believe how much stuff has accumilated in 3 years. Not too mention my truck, Shannon's and Ronnie's cab. The last pic was where I came from. We all gotta start somewhere.
