A new guy looking to show off a little

[WILD-BILL]

I just got turned on to this site by Rich H from another forum after I posted my recent garage remodel. He He suggested I post it here so here goes.

My garage isn't much, just 2 1/2 car W/ a 1 car size shed built onto one side but for here in the suburbs it's kinda big.

So here's a few shots of the inside f the main shop area which is just over 21' x 21'. Just to get an idea of what I had to start with.....

After 10 yrs of thinking and planning and first getting a new roof put on I finally finished it the other day.

I still have a few minor things I want to do like plumbing air lines and coating the floor but those can wait a little bit.

Got some work I need to do to a few of the race cars and need to get them in there before the weather turns nasty

Welcome to GJ.


The transformation looks good and appears to be a lot brighter inside.

 

[WILD-BILL]

Thanks all.

It is a lot brighter inside now. Even with the old Swap Meet bulbs that I have in there right now. I'm sure it could be brighter if I replaced all of them with Day Light bulbs and even brighter still once I get the floor coated.

[Rich H.]

C'mon now Bill, my first name ain't Brad it's Rich

Anyway welcome my fellow Mopar freak

Do you have heat in there at all?

 

[WILD-BILL]

Sorry Zippy

I fixed it. No idea how I messed that up

Yeah the heat is on. You can actually see the heater glowing in the second to last pic

It's awesome having heat out there now.

Gordini, Thanks. I think I have more fun racing crew cheifing my kids then I do racing my own car

 

[Rich H.]

I just noticed not i pic of my car

Here's my 71 charger. Best ET so far s 9.95 @132 mph (ignore the 11's on the windows. Old pics

)

The yellow one is my wife's 72 charger. Going to be a street strip car if I ever get the "street" part of it done

Best pass so far is a 12.81

My Oldest daughter Taylor's car. She's 13 and running in the advanced class. Currently running low 8's in the 1/8th mile

My youngest Kaitlin's car. She's 9 and in the novice class so she is restricted to 12.90 in the 1/8th.

As nice as I've made this garage I could really use one ten times this size
