Photos of Our Completed Garage / Hangout

[dickwitham]

In the summer of 2009 my father purchased an abandoned building on the main road of our small West Michigan town. In the past, several different businesses resided here and was in terrible shape. It has been a long and frustrating several months but things are finally starting to come together.

This has always been a dream of my fathers, and mine, to have a place to both admire his automobiles as well as relax. Things are finally starting to come together.

dam my mouth is watering for a plane ticket to detail all your cars lol.
nice place!

 

[Kevin54]

Very nice. I really like that stairway.

 

[dickwitham]

haha, thank you!

Luckily, I detail on the side and needless to say I have been dreaming of a place to be able to detail, other than my garage.

 

[dickwitham]

Very nice. I really like that stairway.

Thank you! It leads to a small seating area as well as an outdoor patio.

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

NICE, VERY NICE!!!! Looks a little crowded though! I'd be happy to store the Cobra and T-bird for you!!!

 

[Griot's Garage]

Damn, that is fantastic...

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

I hate you.









Ok, I DON'T "hate" you, but I am envious. Beautiful place.

 

[dickwitham]

Thank you all for the kind words! I know myself, and my father, really appreciate it after all the work that was put forth in making this dream a reality. It makes it all worth it.

Oh, and thank you to Griots. Your products play a big role in the maintenance of all of our vehicles. Your products are some of my favorite!

To quote "Doc" Holiday in Tombstone...."should I hate him? Yes I think I really hate him." Just kidding, but I do love that setup and staircase and would like to see more pics as well.

 

[SILVERPLATE]

Very nice! Look forward more pictures.

 

[dickwitham]

Hey guys, I updated this thread with the addition of new photos. Much better than those from my cell phone, haha.

 

[Mickey O]

Looks like you're roughing it.

Looks like you're roughing it.

I remember that episode of Fantasy Island !

 

[930dreamer]

I'd hate to have too hang out there, sorry wouldn't do it, nope.

Any outside pictures?


Very nice place

 

[ironheadtom]

That place is so nice they look more like computer generated pics rather than actual photos. Are all those staircase rails stainless? Not to be nosy..but I'm guessing well over ten grand for that staircase if it's custom built. Excellent workmanship in that thing.

Thank you very much! The railings are all stainless steel and the steps are diamond-plate. The gentlemen who fabricated the staircase did a remarkable job. The workmanship and attention to detail are truly amazing. I am not certain on the cost (I would have to ask my father), but I do know that it was the lowest in price of the other fabricators that were quoted.

Any outside pictures?

Sorry, I do not have any on hand and it is now dark outside. I will be sure to take some though and add them to this thread.

The exterior of the building is very simple. It is white, painted brick and about 75 ft. in length. The roof-line has stainless steel caps that surround the entire building. Again, I will be sure to take and add the exterior photos as soon as I have the opportunity.

[S351r]

[TheNerd]

Very nice, could that be a Prison toilet??

 

[Buford T. Justice]

Holy **** that's a piece of heaven! Beutiful work and love the cars, especially the Pony!

 

[ZRX61]

Very nice, could that be a Prison toilet??

I can only imagine how damn cold it would be sitting on a stainless cludge while drowning the Cosbys

I don't, sorry. I'd be happy to make inquiries though. I have a bunch of local contacts who might know someone.

 

[dickwitham]

Thanks again to everybody for the kind words! I believe I have some before photos somewhere on another computer / memory card. I will be sure to post them as soon as I find them.
