I had the same experience. I even redid my floor with Epoxymaster (per their recommendation) and its still *****. I will never epoxy another floor again. I actually work in my garage and it won't stand up to dropped sockets from waist high.

Well its time to shop for a steel building for my shop. I will be using it for repair/restoration work on stock muscle cars as well as a drag race car. I need it to have an 11 foot interior height so I can run my two post lift in it, but the county regulations change when the building goes over...

Here are some pics of the yard. The shop will go where the trailer is in the picture.

Hi guys and girls. I have a thread that I did a few years ago in a different section about re-doing my 2 car garage so I can put 4 cars for storage. I never did introduce myself formally so here I am. I live in SoCal where land is at a premium. My wife and I just bought a house in the foothills...

This is how I did mine, but they are different than what you have. Maybe with some mods this rack could be used for yours.

Just catching up too. I love the shop and the Fairlanes. I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Sounds like he was a special man that loved his kids. Cool that you guys got to spend a lot of time together and made great memories.

Well, I had to read through this twice. I love the fact that from the outside its like artwork and inside its all business. Kinda like a racecar that is a show car too (we all have seen those here and there). This garage is like looking at a beautiful woman or your favorite car, you can't stop...

I have two four post lifts (Direct Lift) in my garage at home for storage reasons. I rent a 1500 square foot shop to do work in and it has an Ammco two post that I love. Makes life so much easier. I have a standard 2 car garage that I vaulted the ceiling with the highest point 10'6".

Well its been a long time since I have updated. I still have details to work out but the majority of the work is done. I bought 2 four post lifts from Metro lifts and installed them. Assembly was very simple and I had both of them assembled and installed in an 8 hour day.

Congrats. It's great to have some space to work with.

Looks awesome! An old firehouse is every guys dream. Very cool.:thumbup:

No Mustang here but would love a 69 or 70 Boss of some sort. 71 Torino GT 351 4V 4 Speed 9 inch. Mechanical resto ongoing. Someday I might drive it. :lol_hitti

Small update. I am now onto the detailing touches. I hung the cabinets that I had in there from before. I also bought one of those cheap masonite cabinets to house the garden tools. Of course I had to fortify the cabinet and I wanted to hang it on the wall so I could clean under it. Here is the...

Cool I look forward to seeing it.

I did consult a structural engineer. I had a friend do the drawings and paid to have it engineered. I didn't go all the way but got to a point where I was comfortable that the building wasn't going to fall down. California has some really stupid rules here and I wasn't able to do some of the...

Okay I screwed up big time. Looks like I made the tracks too close to the ceiling. The door hit the spring bar, brackets and springs themselves. So I had to shorten the horizontal tracks by 3 inches and drop the tracks down 3 inches as well. Here are some pics. This is the bearing plate. You...

I bought a prehung door at the Home Depot, and when I had framed in the wall for structural reasons I put two 2x4s stacked on top of each other for the header. The header was as straight as I could get it adn the floor wasn't. That was one of the dilemas I had to deal with. The other was cutting...

Okay its getting close! Here are some updates. This is the finished door and threshold. I couldn't get anyone to come out and put up my "worthless" garage door back up so I did it myself. Actually it wasn't hard at all, I had help from DDM garage doors. They sold me the parts for the high lift...

Time to finish this one. It turned out way better that I imagined. I have hung the door and I used two concrete anchors underneath the door with two 1/2 inch bolts and lock nuts to creat a perfectly level surface for the threshold to sit on. Then I mixed up some concrete and shoved it under the...

Its flush with the garage floor and it has a 2 inch ledge on the outside. I figured I would leave it this way so that water from the outside wouldn't find its way to the inside.
