That is the name my buddies gave our garage in high school and college b/c we only worked at night with the garage door down to keep from ticking off the neighbors. The hours of operation were 10pm to 6 am. We graduated to having a rented shop for the past few years with a lift, tools, large compressor, etc. We moved out in May 2011 due to some issues with the owner. We sold the Nussbaum lift for just enough money to get in on last year's group buy with GES on the Max Jax. So that brings the chop shop back to its roots. A 2 car garage in a suburban neighborhood. I have been trying to fit everything into my garage. It seems like every month or 2 I am rearranging the place trying to make it work a little better. Then, I bring in some more equipment and have to start over. I didnt mind moving out of my rental space, but its a pain to try and fit everything in there and still make it useful. I did plan ahead and when I got a new garage door, I did a high lift and the 3800 on the side wall. The maxjax still isnt installed though!. I did get the G73 heater installed the same time i did the compressor. That was a great spend as well!I am in dire need of a shed so I can get non garage items out of the garage and move the compressor out there.
Its not the biggest or prettiest, but its what I have and a hell of a lot more equipped than when we first started! Enjoy and feel free to make any suggestions!
Here are a few shots of the rented space we had. It was huge, dirty, cold and cheap ($100/month)
This is my own garage prior to the arrival of the air compressor, max jax, etc..
This is the most current layout. I had to move the cabinet behind the tool box to the side wall. About 3 weeks later I bought home the lift air compressor, etc. and I had to redo things again!. I am out of room for the drill press. I guess I will have to move the two back cabinets further to the right and ditch the ******** boards.
