    What are you guys lining your garage walls with?

    I did drywall (cheap) mud, taped and textured. Then in some areas used peg-board. I am going to get rid of the peg board and use something else. Drywall is just easy. You can drywall a 20 x 20 garage in a weekend. Not the best picture.

    My brother and I have a rule at Christmas or Birthdays; If you can't figure what to buy then get me clamp, you can never have enough clamps.

    My dream 60x96x16

    I second that. I would polish the concrete and clear seal it. It's the best solution around. Here at work we have a 45000 sq ft R&D shop and I am going to polish the floor instead. Epoxy is so pretty but 99% will lift because the concrete is curing and drying out. The water has to go somewhere...

    Hot Rod Garage Scenes

    Great photos. There is a guy that sells photos like this at the Pomona Swap Meet (Ca.) That are all black and white prints from about the 30's til the 70's of all car related stuff.

    Lets see your workbench

    I had this old metal bench with a steel top for 20+ years. I think it's a Dayton brand. I paid $60 for it. It has served me well and it's easy to moved from house to house throughout it's life. However I got tired of the sound (getting older) of the metal top and wanted a more warm looking and...
