He's a big Mopar Guy. He had the club over to his home before the Nascar Race / Mopar show at Talladega, AL.

Could be. If that was an Aerowarriors meet, they include all of the aero cars from that era of racing: Daytona, Superbird, Charger 500, Ford Torino? Ford Talledega, etc...

Got that right! It's very, very nice!

The only thing That I could not understand about the shop was the use of only one roll up door in the main room.

here's a shot of the room under the main room

That is absolutely the most incredible garage I've ever seen! I've got a lot of work to do if I'm going to have one of those.....

That was breathtaking to look at.

Yeah that is a King Cobra, I am seen pics of that house before. Nice place I must say.

Hot Rod, do you remeber seeing the 'Aussie-Tona' there? It belongs to a friend of mine. I am pretty sure he was there that day.

We where in and out that day around lunch. It was the 1st time I seen his shop. So, I did not look at the cars to much. I'm not much up on Mopars.

No sweat. Look for it next time if you get the chance. You don't need to be too up on Mopars for this one. It is a Dodge Daytona that was exported to Australia and converted to right hand drive. My buddy brought it back home, but left it right hand drive. And the Aussie 'Tona' was born. People go nuts when they see it at shows. Its Midnight Blue with a white tail stripe.

This car.

wow...... "see what happens when u stay in school?!?!"

Wow you said it. I am STUNNED to say the least. This has to be one amazing place.

I have three excellent books on garages ( Ultimate Garage's, Garage. Reinventing the place we park and Garage Handbook)and this place blows them all away completely. The books are available at Classic Motorbooks.com (Ultimate Garage's seems to have a 2005 new book out now too.)

I would really like to hear about the details of this place. ( lighting, flooring, and what other idea's went into this place.) Whats in the workshop space etc.

Please post more pics and info.

That's one amazing set up he's got, & I can't get over the wood work in the roof structure. I wanted to do something similar on my living room ceiling, but with like a few pieces of wood, not half the forest. :lol:

That's about the nicest building I've seen in some time, he should be quite proud of it.

Can't see the pics but I image that is the car. DG and I have never met in person actually, but certainly I know of her and we have been in the same place on occasion. She became a stewardess so she isn't around as much anymore.

Oh and Her car was in Mopar Muscle last month, the Vitamin C Road Runner

Somehow I just can't picture her as a stewardess... :lol:

I admit the image has baffled me on occasion. At least she didn't end up working for the police department!

All he needs now is a Talladega and a Spoiler II. Personally I would prefer a Hemi Dart or Thunderbolt. But then again i'm a Drag kind of guy. Roundy round just bores me. I'd take a door slammer any day!

I'd be happy with the "room under the main room"

After seeing that garage I am having a hard time getting my toung back into my mouth. I will never have that kind of money unless I win the Lotto. :sad: That is one really nice garage. A little too nice to be a garage. Looks nicer than my house. Love the beams.
