I worked out a single car garage for years. Now I just have more room to collect "stuff" lol. Sometimes bigger isn't always better..:lol_hitti Believe me I understand the safety part as I put my Daytona on it's roof a few years back. Since I do chassis certs for IHRA it would be good if both...

So far mine is as dry as the day it was finished.. No issues at all. We haven't had a lot of rain down here, but a few weeks ago we did have a real hard rain with wind and mine was still dry.. I would still highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to build. In fact a friend of mine will...

Not a lot of updates unfortunately.. This is my busiest time of year. I work for the IHRA and our season is hard at it. Not to mention I race and have commited to race the local track (Little River) as much as possible this year. I also have a couple more cars coming in to have some...

Lowes carries it..May not have all you will need but shouldn't be an issue. Last I checked it was just under 14.00 for a 26" x12' piece. Dave

I love the looks of the early Challengers.. Car looks great and you did an awesome job with it.. Dave

That sounds like a heck of a deal.. Did they put the insulation in it for that price or was that for the building, concrete and bubble insulation? Dave

Blueprints show a 3 1/2 inch pitch. Dave

I agree..No tip for these guy's.. When the crew was here building my shop I kept a cooler full of Gatoraid iced down for them.. When they were finished I gave the foreman 120.00 and told him it was enough to get the crew nice dinner. The concrete guy's on the other hand didn't do as nice as I...

Yes, the plans are to put corrugated tin on the ceiling and blow insulation up there and use styrofoam in the walls behind sheetrock. I have been going back and forth on how crazy I want to get on the inside. It is a working shop after all, even if all I work on is my stuff. :) I think what I...

I haven't done anything inside yet other than installing enough outlets and welder plugs to allow me to work. I commited to helping a friend with his Top Sportsman car he put in the guard rail at baton Rouge last year. It had frame rails bent and several other tubes, front end tree...

In the military we have an oil analysis program where an oil sample is taken and sent in to the lab to be analyzed. Since this is taught in a mechanics AIT he can expect to pull these samples. While stationed in Korea I had a new private come into my office with a clear 35 gallon trash bag...

I'm not a body man but I think a clear urethane would work good. http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/kspclear.aspx I don't know how the paint would hold up to the heat if you were to powdercoat them.. Dave

I would think it all depends on what you do in the garage.. I work on race car chassis. So I want mine as level as possible to allow me to easily work. If I was to wash a lot of cars or that type work I would want it to slope towards where ever I was to drain the water (drain or door). Mine...

I'm going to go with corrugated metal from Lowes unless someplace else has a better deal. I do get an additional 10% off with a military ID (retired). Lowes Page 13.92 a sheet or 1.16 a linear foot.. Its cheaper than the metal on the outside, and easier to put up and finish than OSB or...

Wife and I went to our favorite BBQ joint in Lampassas yesterday. They had used a galvanized corrugated metal on the walls. It also looked like they sprayed a clear coat on it.. I thought that was a good idea because I remember the metal getting darker with age. But that could be and probably...
