Thats a beautiful resto! My boyfriend brought home a 1953 Bowser pump, I can't wait for him to restore it!

Just had a peak through the 310 pages of this thread- what an awesome job! Stealing some ideas from here myself lol

The garage is up but nothing nice done to it yet... some things I'm working on include an attic upstairs for bulkier parts (we tend to hoard interiors, just in case.) Also the Ideal Coca Cola cooler is being relocated to the garage because it's clashing with the juke box in the kitchen and I...

If you want in on the local car scene, let me know and me and my boyfriend can take you around!

Well the garage has been built, which is why nobody has heard a peep from me! I'll upload some pictures later after work :) I penned a very sweet letter to the city explaining why I needed a bigger garage, and had my neighbors on both sides write letters saying they were ok with the size. I...

Thanks Travis! I've had it 12 years, so I'm pretty much in love with it lol. james I love the idea of the old siding! I'm posting an add on the local classifieds looking for it now, even some old clapboard would be more vintage. Signs around here are not only expensive, they are extremely...

At this point what I am hoping for is some ideas on the outside structure of the garage, stuff thats harder to change when the thing is built. I'm putting 2 garage doors on the front so I can drive the Camaro and Chevelle in each night easily, but on the other side (facing my house) I am...

I don't even have to register them, I can park them wherever I want on my land and put as many cars in as I want- only 1 problem lol. WHERE am I getting the money to buy 3 24 foot car trailers lol? Or even one for that matter ;) Maybe in the future...

Hot Rod Grille, I love those shots of your place. I'm trying to appeal to the city for a higher roof, but if they turn me down I;m just going to cheat and dig a deeper floor! That way I can get a ramp for storage as well. Work is progressing, boyfriend is out now digging and levelling the...

HodRodChef- I LOVE the diner booth in these pictures, and the coke merchandise. These are the types of ideas I'm looking for, exactly what you have here. I picked up the back glass from a pinball machine at a fleamarket, which isn't as cool as the whole machine but will definitely save space...

Lol, the garage regulations are for both cities here in Newfoundland, not just for my little piece of land ;) I spoke with the council and they are willing to let me go with a 24x30 as long as the adjacent neighbors sign off on it, and since one of them has a warehouse and heavy equipment yard...

The rules here are terrible: garage must not be any larger than 600 feet2, and the ceiling is limited to 12 feet- so no 2 story buildings. Not even a loft. Although I live in an agricultural area, MY land is zoned residential only- so no out buildings allowed, which is also another huge downer...

Thanks 1948, I really enjoyed your build thread and I got a lot of ideas from your pictures! 600 square feet, in my opinion, is ridiculous for a cap on size! I live outside the city but still have to follow city regulations- I live on 3/4 of an acre of land and I'm surrounded by farms that...

I really enjoy all things old and retro (which probably explains my antique cars and 60+ year old house!) but unfortunately my house didn't come with a garage. I'm starting to build this year and I want to keep it retro, to match my current style. For example, my kitchen and dining room is...

Hey guys, I heard about this forum over on the HAMB and thought I'd check out some ideas! I live in Newfoundland, Canada and moved into a new house last November. I want to build a 600 square foot garage (thats all the city allows these days) to fit my antique cars! I have 2 and my boyfriend...
