    Turn Your Water Heater Into A Gas Pump

    I have a small 3-car garage. I have always wanted to add to the "garage atmosphere" by installing an old gas pump, like those guys with the oversize expensive garages have. Unfortunately, restored pumps are expensive and also take up more floor space than I can spare. So this was my solution...

    Modern Garage in Far East

    Magnificent cars, magnificent garage. I spent three years in Manila in the early nineties. Loved everything but the traffic: gridlock morning to night. I could almost see my office on Roxas blvd from my apartment in Makati, but it could take up to 1 1/2 hours to drive there when it rained. I...

    Gloves, what do you wear in the shop?

    Naked hands for me. I tried gloves once but didn't like the loss of touch and dexterity. After reading this thread I plan to give them a try again; it would be nice not to have to go through life with dirty finger nails...

    Calling All You "Uber-Neat" 2 Car Garage Owners

    Probably the most unused space in many garages is the upper wall areas and the area above the garage door. To take advantage of this wasted space, I installed wire shelves suspended from the ceiling with metal strap wrapped over the top of the ceiling joists. This overhead storage preserves...

    What is the Coolest thing in your garage?

    George, Are you talkin' to me? (Green 69 GTO). If so, I bought the car as you see it so have no details on the restoration. The previous owner thought the work had been done by someone in Iowa or Wisconsin in the mid '90s. I was never able to track him down. I would love to be able to...

    What is the Coolest thing in your garage?

    Cheap wire loft shelving for the space challenged

    I did something similar but used the metal strap as the hanger. I cut a small slit in the ceiling wall board, pushed the strap through the slit, wrapped it over the joist and fastened it with screws. This would also work above the garage door. I like this setup because it keeps my...

    Pics of Jay Leno's garage

    I don't get the hostility. I don't know Jay Leno in person but, in his public persona, I have seen nothing to indicate that he is anything other than a decent bloke who grew up like most of us loving the mechanical and esthetic art of a well made, interesting car. Like his brand of humor or...
