Red Neck Car Lift

Very cool. Just like my red neck engine hoist!

You sir have a real shop, its just a garage no matter how bug and fancy with out a dog or big fat lazy cat. Had a yellow lab that was my shop buddie at my parents place, didn't feel rite to work on something with out him sleeping in the single stall door soaking up the sun or just chilling by the work bench. Just had to kick him out with a welder going because he was fasinated with the light from the arc

x2, it's just doesn't feel the same without my dog laying around,


A lot of incredible places, in here. I'm fortunate enough to have a good family friend who builds engine's for a living and is kind enough to let me use his shop. I can't wait until I can afford my own place one day.

It's 3 bays, 1 lift and a ton of space. I can't seem to find a full pic of it. IIRC the shorter side of the shop s 50x60 and the larger section is 40x60. Full bathroom, office upstairs etc.

couple projects on the go

Nothing fancy but it gives me somewhere to work. Hopefully we can sell the wife's camaro this spring and I'll get the whole shop to myself. I'm hoping to build an addition onto the shop this spring. I plan on knocking down the existing shed which is attached to the back and putting in a cement pad. I'll then redo the shed and knock a hole through into the shop and I'll move all my tools into the addition.

wmhjr you are always uping me. I mean your car's way nicer than mine and now you gotta show you have a way bigger car lift than me. Well take this!
I kinda like the view of my garage from this angle.

Unorganized mess...I helped clean up after this!

[wmhjr]

Rockeytopper,

You got me there! I live in the country but don't have those beautiful ponds next to me.

But beware, I DO have a small plane (Cessna 150g) and will have some similar pics before long.....

Or maybe I'll just visit your shop. It looks like I could land right behind that woodline.

Great idea for keeping them ready to use, and dust free inside... Thanks for the idea.

I definitely dig that air-tool storage shelf. I'll bet if you built several of those, people would buy them up.

+1 That would go well w/ the compressor closet I just built.

heres a few of my shots

[Six_Shooter]

This is my favorite garage shot.


It is a picture that is about 5 years old, taken at my Grandfather's garage, when we were trying to get my late uncle's T-bucket running on the mechanical injection. It didn't go so well, I figured out what was going on as I was taking everything off the intake to convert to EFI, it was the barrel valve.
In the background is my Grandfather's '71 Chev pick-up that he, my late uncle Larry and I all built together. It still looks pretty much the same externally as in this picture, but now has EFI, that is a combination of '83 Corvette Crossfire intake, '94 Chev truck ECM and will have a 4L60E in it this spring.


This is my garage, and my current project.

[SickSpeedMonte]

I knew clicking on this thread would make me depressed...

I just have a 2 car attached, but I'm so thankful that I have that. Up until about 5 months ago, it was in the street or nothing. Actually the whole engine/trans swap was done in a gravel driveway with plywood to lay on.

I'll try to get some better pictures up later.

Just got my garage finnished and final inspection last Monday. Right now a couple of plugs and just enough electric to pass code. I'll install more as I go. The wife get to use half sense she is the one that pushed me to build it so it would be ready for my cars home coming.
Here's a few pictures.

Here's a birds eye view.

Kind of crappy picture of the inside.

Nice looking garage! How do you like the metal walls? Is there a difference in the noise level with the metal? I just built a 30x54 pole building and am not sure on how to finish the inside of it. Is it expensive to do compared to drywall(doing it myself)? What did you use for lighting?

Thanks for the info! It's greatly appreciated!

Do not use drywall if the inside of the building is going to be constantly going above and below freezing (dewpoint) drywall is not an outdoor product it will eventually go punky and bubble and look like h ell....use plywood or chipboard. D

They do make an exterior grade drywall (used in the commercial industries).



But i would go with plywood or chipboard also, you can hang stuff anywere.

Ususally by code when you have a shared wall with the house a fire rated drywall must be used on that wall.
