    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT The 12-Gauge Garage

    Hey Jack I have 5 Vidmar boxes and love them also, some of my drawers probably have close to #300 in them and with the roller bearing slides you can open them with one finger.

    Welcome to my little garage!

    Thats all a man can do...some of my fondest times were 30+ years ago working out on the ground on a gravel driveway, pulling engines out of cars with an old block and tackle hanging from a big limb of a red oak tree. Ah the memories!

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Restored 1930's Auto Shop

    Looks like a Eco model 98 wall mount air meter, I was at a estate sale recently and bid on one that was in fairly poor condition but restorable. I stopped bidding when it got to $300, when it got to $500 I couldn't believe it and they ended up the sale for $625. When I got home I did a little...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Restored 1930's Auto Shop

    I know that feeling very well, I've been a gearhead my whole life and been rebuilding things since I was a pimple faced teenager. Big blocks are getting hard to find a good one, these will have homes in the near future, I have a 69 Camaro that I'm about done with that will get one of the...

    garage/ man cave bathrooms

    I was going to put in a restroom in my building but the city wouldn't allow me to run the sewer into the existing sewer for the house. I would of had to hookup to it on a separate line and also have a separate bill. Septic tank isn't permitted either!

    Hot Rod Barn

    Its an "A", one way to tell the difference is it has no Touch Control levers. The "A" had the Lift-All system, Super "A" had the new Touch Control hydraulic system. This was in response to the Ferguson three-point system used by Ford. And there are other differences, A's had magneto...
