If you live in or near a rural area talk to the local farmers and find out where they go for off road diesel for their tractors.

I'm a hotrod guy and in my mind a garage is where you park your everyday driver, lawnmower, garden tools, etc. And I like old "stuff" and a cool place for my car club brothers to hang out. So with that said here is my shop. Take note there is no daily driver type car or lawnmowers or other ****...

I like it. It's actually exactly the same size as mine but has a totally different look to it with the one big overhead door on the end. Here's mine.

Haven't been here in awhile. Been very busy with car club stuff but I appreciate all the help and advice I got way back nearly 10 years ago when I was still in the planning stages of my "new" 30x40 garage. As expected it's full and I wish I had gone bigger. There's a surprise. But to be honest...

Great info. Thanks ! I'm trying to collect stuff to put together a factory tool kit for my 36 Chevy coupe. I'll toss it in there even if it's not entirely correct. The handle style is pretty much the same as the flat blade screwdriver that came in the kit

Found this at a friend's antique shop in a pile of old tools. I had to have it just because I have no clue what it's for. Not like anything I've seen before and I have a bunch of oddball stuff including clutch point screwdrivers for working on old Chevrolets. The only markings at all is 5/32...

New projects and a collection of 40s-60s Coke bottles taking over my office.. Garage is holding up well. Can't really think of anything I would have done different other than make it bigger..

Bought bare Aluminum lights at Home Depot and painted them with Rustoleum Hunter Green spray bombs. So far it's holding up well. Looked for the link for you but found some that come in Green already. I'm sure they still sell the bare Aluminum ones as well but I couldn't find them...

Thanks I am. Heading out there after breakfast to do some work on a 74 C10 I'm rebuilding

To be honest I don't remember. I did go with scissor trusses though to give me more clearance for the lift.

Thanks but as often happens it's been a couple years, it's too full, and I wish I had gone bigger.. Hard to see but there's a 67 Camaro buried behind the 2 Chevy trucks.. . :lol_hitti

Lift specs.. http://www.mytoolequipmentguy.com/products/triumph-nto-9ae-9-000-lb-two-post-overhead-auto-lift.html Yes to burying the electrical cable. I used mobile home feeder wire which can be buried directly without using conduit. Check your local laws on what's allowed though. Here in...

I'll play.. :thumbup:

Firestone. Although I'm sure they were made by someone else. Anyone know who the manufacturer was ?
