Very interested in the details of this bar build as I was just about to do the same thing in my basement and your design is better than the one I was going to go with - thanks for sharing

Love my view from the back of the garage out

Continuing the pictures..... Next is to switch back to the new shop as I'm still intending to install a 2 post lift so I can get busy on the old cars and get them back on the road

This new shop was built to create a much better space to work on my old and new cars than the original garage/basement which was under the house. That combined space was approx 1300sq ft and was roughed in for a full bath etc when the house was built in 1984. Once the old garage was emptied...

Hey JB - I diverted away from the shop to focus on renovating the old garage basement this shop replaced under the house. That represents about 1300sq ft of potential living space for........ A man cave 2 !!! I'll post some pictures of that as I wasn't thinking beyond the shot on here but...

Ahh more Mopar love - great posse of cars

@bonecrusher / @gaston9mm - thanks guys!!

@Gar64. - thanks - yes the trusses are awaiting time and a few more dollars to fit in a 2 post lift - I can't say I'm a major mechanic but I'm future planning ;)

Made a bit more progress today!!

Finally able to move my old Mopar up into the new garage - she looks right at home now

Finally got a chance to use the shop for what it was built for this past weekend. I fixed a phantom grill and installed Halo color changing lights on his Challenger. I was able to use my new wheel dollies to move my Challenger off to the side one handed - very happy

picked up a couple cabinets ( 1 large and 3 small ) and a set of shelves. I'd like to build a strong large storage shelf above the workbench for rubbermaid storage tubs and have the 3 smaller cabinets just below - reachable from the bench

So I'm beginning to move in now that the painting is done - to save money I'm trying to reuse some of the items from the old garage. I managed to move my tool chest up the steep incline without dying. My daughter drove our riding tractor slowly while my son and I stabilized - no issue Second...
