Thanks to y'all.

Hi all,

First, thank you all for the info and ideas. New guy from Bastrop, TX.

Building a 16x24 shop, almost done. Short is: hotrod and dirtbikes 1st and then some kids. Kids took over the garage, so built my own space to work on the car. 62 Nova wagon w/ 3rd row, 5.3l 4l60e, and TCI front end purchased from a HAMB'er.

We planned a bigger shop, but this one is close to the house(on a hill) and we have paid for it as we went. No loan. Here's some pics. Just the floor epoxy to go.



Back form is almost 7 feet.




New driveway


Half stone to match full stone house and high lift door.


Painted


The wiring is complete and outside landscaping. Just need to put in epoxy floor and A/C. Figured I would introduce myself and put up some pics before I bug you all in the Flooring section.

Thanks,

Welcome from up the road in Austin.

Very nice. Welcome to the Journal.

That is one cool looking 16 x 24 building. How much is that drop at the back. It looks like you needed a lot of fill.

Thanks,

I haven't really pounded nails for 18yrs. I learned a lot and would definitely do some things different. Only 3 things were sub'd out and each one had issues.

One great thing is that my dad visited and we worked together on it through the framing.

I believe there was 13 ton of foundation fill and two trucks of gravel; all wheelbarrowed in.

Welcome from Western NY!

Nice shop. Thanks for sharing the pics. Welcomr to GJ.

Welcome! Nice garage that you have. Any pics of the Nova??

Here ya go. It's the wife's 62 wagon with the 3rd row. I have smoothed the firewall and installed a TCI front with a rack & discs. Also, I have a 02 5.3L/4l60e to go into it.

Day we got it.



TCI test fitted


This was a couple years ago and I have collected a lot of parts. Now, it needs it's own garage so I can finish it.
