Wow...inspirational!

What are the garage dimensions?

I went on Hot Rod Power Tour, then packed and moved so progress has been slow lately. I did mount some glass door cabinets. These are US military surplus gas mask cabinets, they were cheap and cool so I bought 3 at a military surplus center.

The older crinkle finish US General Cabinet is a darker than the new US General box..other than that and the logo difference they are idnetical....dont worry they will both be orange here soon.
