I don't post much on GJ, but I felt like I should add my ongoing project to the fray after getting so many good ideas here.
I'm a car guy, like many members here. I've owned pretty much every mainstream make, including: several rotary Mazda's, old Chevy and Ford trucks, several Chevy Nova's, Sentra SER, turbo Nissan 300zx, MG Midget, Ford Mustang vert, Dodge Charger, Sebring vert, turbo Supra, etc etc etc etc. If it goes fast and looks good to me, I'll wrench on it. Hence the name - The Non-Denominational Church of Hot Rodding.
I recently purchased a house in Western PA after spending several years down in South Carolina. I'm originally from this area and we came home to be with family and friends after discovering my wife was pregnant with our first. The house is a basic 60's ranch that needed totally updated, but it came with 5 acres a two car attached and a two car detached garage.
I've remodeled most of the house over the last three months, but now it's time to start playing around with the garages. Now to the pics:
Here's an overview:
The garage was originally painted paisley blue and had a whopping two (2) 60 watt bulbs. It was dim and dreary. It also had an unbelievable amount of work bench space and beat up pegboard/ falling down shelving. I wish I had a true "before picture" but you can use your imagination. Here's one of the walls. I had to leave it pretty clear so I can get my 2007 Hemi Charger R/T AWD in and out without banging doors.
My dad and I built this wall over the weekend. I just finished hanging the 5/8 sheet rock. I'll mud it soon, but it looks better for now. This seals off the well house, laundry chute, stairs and walkway to the finished basement so you don't feel like you're always walking through the garage.
My early 60's 8" Craftsman table saw. Love this little baby.
Vintage monster belt sander.
Still a little messy, but we're getting there.
Next project, refinishing these metal cabinets and redoing the work bench.
Here's the detached garage, waiting for spring for insulation, heat, lights, drywall, finished ceiling, and severe reorganization. That's my '71 F-100 (work horse) and '78 Nova bracket car (just a 350/th350/3.73 with nitrous).
Lemme know what you think!
