My New Space - Work in Progress

[bradysdad]

The work continues but am getting closer each day. Got my first car in, now have to continue with setup to get my other 5 situated.

 

[Rick B.]

That's a really nice place.

I dig it.

 

[bradysdad]

Thanks. Took a while to find but having fun setting it up.

Tell us about the lift and THE Vett!!!!! We need the story of when and how you came about getting it (Vett). Shop look great.

Can't wait to see how you fit 6 cars in that space.

Thanks. Found the Vette a couple of years ago from the gentleman who restored it. It is a 65, 327 4spd posi. The ****** and rear end are original but the motor was replaced. I added Edelbrock aluminum heads, manifold, carb and upgraded the ignition to Pertronics. Also replaced the original headlight mechanisms with Detroit speed electric units and changed all of the wiring harnesses with American Autowire harness. Replaced original ammeter with a voltmeter and installed internally regulated alternator.

Already has 4 wheel power disc from the factory as well as factory power steering. The car, frame and birdcage are spotless and the previous owner installed a 67 big block stingray hood. Got rid of the torque thrust wheels and went with the knock offs and red lines.

Fun car to drive when I purchased it and just made it safer and more reliable for driving pleasure. Thinking about adding Vintage Air this year.

Thanks for the compliment. It gets a lot of looks and thumbs up!

The garage is 34’ x 60’ with the front office/bathroom included. The actual garage space is 34’ x 50’. I can fit three cars on the left side of the space, parked on an angle, one on the lift, one under and one parked parallel to the lift on the right hand side. Still organizing everything but with my prelim calculations I think I will be OK.

Will send pics when all is set up.

Ah, makes sense now. First picture is very deceiving.

Yes. Within a few miles. Far enough to get away but close enough for the Honey Do list.

looks nice.
Is this a stand-alone building or a unit in a garage condo?

Yes. Garage condo.

Whereabout? I grew up in Lake Co IL, curious as to where they are putting the condos.

I could tell ya but then I would have to kill ya!! ;-)

They are building them all over. From storage only to full shops/garages. Wide range of sizes and prices.

 

[Bob2112]

What's the ceiling height in there?

 

[bradysdad]

18 foot.

 

[Bob2112]

Nice! You could almost stack three cars up with that kind of height!

 

[bradysdad]

Getting some additional vehicles situated. Amazing how quickly space is consumed. The front area came together nicely with couch and TV. Have a mini fridge and pizza oven up there for the essentials!!

Kind of a cool night shot from my security system, using the neon sign for lighting.
