    Garage stool w/backrest needed...

    I have an Astro van seat mounted to a swivel base. Flip down arm rests, head rest, reclines to position and comfortable as hell! Even has a pouch in the back for a pistol. I have been known to fall asleep in it with my feet up on the work bench a few times. Lol!

    Garage Pics and questions

    Put 4ft. green metal siding on the bottom all the way around. They cut mine to length when I bought it. Use the siding you take off and from the pile to finish the top. You can always change the top to metal later if you want. As others have said, definitely wrap it. I wish I would have wrapped...
