I started with this:

Now..I never took build pics...but I am almost done...here is it is today..setting it all up. I figure it will be dialed in by Friday...still need to assemble some tools and paint the inside of the door, which I naturally am doing last, as to make it as problematic as possible. Pegboard gets me excited, by the way.

Nice. Did the Charger find a home in the other garage? And a nice view into your backyard. Looks like a nice place to spend some time during the pandemic.

Yes the Charger moved into the front...nothing else in there so no risk of dings!

It appears someone used to be DoD or USN from the sign. Wished I had grabbed a few when I was abroad in different languages.

Nice place you have there! The charger is very sharp

You have a wonderful collection of tools! With all of them on pegboard, may I ask what's in the toolboxes? Charger looks great, but don't you think that garage is a little small for it, lol. Thanks for sharing, both spaces look great!

The Charger stays in the front garage. I used to have a huge bay downtown, where I restored the car, but I gave it up a few years back. I do miss my lift, I may put one in outside in the work yard area.

One thing nice about the space is that its tied into the central heat, so moisture not an issue in t he winter. In the summer, I am near the shore, so If I open the win dow and door it stays cool all day.
