It might be kind of "ghetto" but I made it with stuff I had laying around, so it didn't cost much to make, I just needed to buy casters, which I got from Harbor Freight for like $8 total.

Thanks Tundra. I don't really have any details. I just built that frame, with a lift that I could slide up and lock into place so that I could work by myself. The whole thing was on casters so that it could be moved around once I was up on the ladder. I'll see if I have any other pictures of it...

I haven't really added anything here in a long time, so here are a few things I've done lately. I added some shelves between the cabinets for trophies and stuff, I finished the one workbench, and refinished the bolt bin, and added some stairs down to the lower part of the yard where the shed...

Here's one side, I have like 5 workbenches in my race shop, but this is the cleanest right now.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Thanks Bluebomber. The stripe wasn't too bad. I set up the laser and masked it off with Frog Tape. And I didn't get around to hooking up my radiant heat until winter was almost over. That little hanging electric heater in the corner kept the place around 60* all winter, so I wasn't in a big...

Thanks Guys. Madoc, I got the one set of cabinets from craigslist for like $200, they came out of an office, and they were like brand new. Then I had one of my subcontractors make the other cabinets for me to match the other side of the shop. It was one of those "favor" deals, so they were free.

Thanks Welder...I updated the pics. All of the other forums that I'm on, you can just click the picture button and paste the link. Justin, it was just an R10, vinyl faced vapor barrier/Insulation. I added R13 to that on the walls, and R30 in the ceiling. The garage is very well insulated. It...

I have been to Raceway 7...we raced there a few times in 1999. That's the last time I've been there. Side note, I don't know why my pics aren't working. They're linked to photobucket.

Alright...It's been a WHILE since I posted any pictures. I pretty much finished up enough to move in, but as you all know, it seems like none of us are ever "done". Here are some pics of the shop now. Installing OSB for the ceiling Here's the lift I built to put the OSB up, it worked great...

Dude, the guy that rep's your flooring product is telling you what you need to do to fix your problem, and you're making every excuse not to do what he says. Do you think that you're going to tile your garage for $100?!? It's $100 and a couple hours of your time! You've already spent days...

I'll see what kind of pics I have, but I basically cut the right side down as far as I could, and still have enough cover in front of my neighbors sanitary line. I ended up bringing about 6 Tri-axles of recycled concrete in and building up the pad, then 2 more tri-axles of shale to build against...

Thanks guys! Graham, check it out sometime. It's a big, wide, fast 5/8 track. Good racing most nights. Haven't decided what I'm doing yet..long story but they screwed up my trusses and didn't give me the load I wanted. I'm fighting with them now. May do metal, or possibly even just Masonite...

OK, it's been a while since I posted anything, but with it being racing season, progress is kinda slow. It's getting there though. I added more insulation, got all of the electrical roughed in, the panel complete, and the service upgraded to a 400amp service to my house (200 split off to the...

Thanks...I'd love to come down south and race on some red clay tracks someday.
