After 18 years in this shop, it's time for an addition since we need more storage space and I finally got my classic project car. It will be a 24x32 addition to the existing 24x32 shop which will make it 48' (deep) x 32' (wide). I will be going with 12' ceiling (which I regretted not doing in...

This is on my never ending to-do list, keeps the ideas and reviews coming.

Now I just have to decide where to put it and get the project started. Thanks BD1, good read!

I am in the process of trying to 'retrieve' some floorspace in my shop while purchasing a new compressor (larger than what I have now). The main thing I want to do is move the compressor outside. Any recommendations to mounting a compressor outside a shop (mounting, insulating, etc)? The...

I was advised by an electrician friend of mine to suspend all my lights from chains and to put receptacles in the ceiling. The main reason was that you could pull them down to the floor for ballast changes in the case of a failure. He also didn't recommend mounting them directly to teh ceiling...

My regrets.... in no certain order: - wish my 24'x32' was a 30'x40' (would have given me room for three full bays) and wish I had left off the 8'x16' interior room (plan was to close it off and air condition for 'projects'). This room may come out at some point in time but will require removing...

Great build! The 'side' door for the lawnmower,etc comes in really handy (I did the same thing in my shop). Now I just wish I had more room!

Cool idea :thumbup:!

From one Stephenw to another Stephenw... that is a fine looking project!

Nice build!

My floor will need some flattening/leveling (a few high spots that I can see will need attention) before I can go with VCT. Of those of you that have had to level floors, how hard was it and what tools did you have to use? What's the best way to tell that your floor is flat?

Looks good! Flooring is my next project and I really can't decide what to use :confused: ??

If I go with VCT, I guess it would be in my best interest to go with a darker tile in areas that will see tires most of the same. The more I look at VCT, the better I like it :drool: .

Jason (and others with VCT)..... Since some of you have had your VCT for a while, does marking from tires / etc show bad on VCT? I have just ordered samples from Armstrong of the 'safety zone' series since i do use this shop for parties, etc. I just want to make sure that it is not real slippery.

Great work! I spot a very nice f-body also :thumbup: !
