Above 1200 Sq/FT Carguy's toy garage

[StangSpace]

Both of your garages are amazing spaces! I do like how tasteful the automobilia is placed on the walls in your showroom. I know its crazy but out of all the great cars you have I am most intrigued by your haulers. do you have any more pictures on the insides of the white F series and the white 5th wheel trailer? Thanks for sharing!

Special thanks to Race Deck and Baldhead Cabinets. This is the fourth garage that I have built with Race Deck floor. I love the way it cushions the floors for an old guys legs. It is very easy to care for and always looks great.

Bald head cabinets did an outstanding job taking my dream and turning it into a reality. i would highly recommend them.

Loaded up and ready to head to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago Wednesday. Taking my 67 Shelby GT500 and 70 Hemi Cuda. *If you like 60 era muscle the Muscle Car Nationals should be on your bucket list. Best of the best come from all over the country. Amazing car show! Check it out at http://mcacn.com[/U

I'm not worthy.
I think I'll go and cower in the corner now and **** on my thumb.
Cue pathetic whimpering noises.

I like that towing rig.

I will be there too! My dad is showing his "real" 1962 Nassau Blue 409 Impala. The MCACN show is a GREAT show. Safe travels.

Congrats on a nice hang out spot. I was going to ask where the Olds was but after reading about your show board collection, I found the 70 442. :thumb up:

I group of Florida members are trying to have a meet up at the car show being held at the Garlits Drag Museum on Dec. 5th. We will be easy to spot so maybe we will see you there.

Can I Please move in!

 

[1carguy]

The Muscle Car Nationals is one special event. They scour the country for really special cars. This year there will be (26) 1970-71 Hemi cuda and challenger convertibles there from all over the world. This is incredible when you consider due to their rarity they sell in the 2 million dollar plus range.

Another display will be a large collection of the rare 1965 Z16 Chevelles in every color built.

Utterly jaw dropping collection, space(s) and hauler setup.

This is where I hope to be some day. Thanks for the inspiration to keep going in my business endeavors.

I gotta ask. You say they are all trailer queens. How do you resist the temptation to just go out and go blow the tires off one/all of them?
Don't get me wrong, I respect those who meticulously preserve vehicles like this for all of us to see them in their "as built" condition but me, I would have to drive them as they were intended.
I just wouldn't have the self control to do what you do.

 

[miamivice]

amazing garage, and collection of vehicles!!

 

[got2boostit2]

Gorgeous, beautiful, amazing and just WoW! You hiring? I can check tire pressure real good. Lol

 

[don long]

I just found your thread
I'm glad that I did. I also enjoy the 60s muscle cars and have a couple.
Your garage is very inviting and I like the neon spread around.
I am building a 62 vette at the moment to add to my collection.

Your truck/motor home garage is one to be very proud of as well
I like your idea of a wash bay with a pressure washer for assistance with the washing tasks.
Too bad we are at opposite ends of the country.Would like to get to know you better so I will follow along

Thanks for sharing

Don

wow nice place and local too, I wonder if you know the other carguy in town that owns a bunch of commercial rental propertys

 

[Mickm]

Phenomenal! I am just now finding your thread but I throughly enjoyed viewing it again and again.
I especially love the 'Cuda (for obvious reasons).

I hope to make it to the Muscle Car-Corvette Nationals one day. It sounds like a great show. I hope you have a safe trip and a great time. Please post some pictures of the show when you return.

 

[Yourfired]

What an awesome garage! Beautiful collection and all the cars are in pristine condition! I have to admit I am a little envious.

 

[ted9250]

I believe I saw your truck and trailer at the Mustang Club of America show in Springfield, IL last year. Very impressive set up.

 

[1carguy]

Thanks for the nice comments on my toy garage.

The Muscle Car Nationals is awesome! Unbelievable rare cars abound. You definitely need to put this on your bucket list if you are a car guy.

Yes I was at the Springfield MCA show. Great event. Earned concours gold trailered on my two shelbys.

 

[oilcaddy]

Best place i have ever seen.wow!!!!!!!!

 

[70 140]

I really like that crew cab F-series hauler. Was the deck cover a custom add on?

 

[1carguy]

The truck is a 2014 Ford F550. I had Hodges haulers build the ramp bed. They also built the enclosure. Once I got it we made numerous changes to improve it for my needs. What I love about it is you can tie a car down without having to get under it due to the 2 doors that open on both sides by the front and rear wheels. Great for an old guy. Downside is it is a single use vehicle and is only driven4-5 times per year to shows.

 

[dykstra]

1carguy, Your cars looked great last weekend at MCACN!!!!

 

[ted9250]

That was the second time we have attended the MCA National in Springfield. In 2007 we received a first in modified and last year a Gold in modified. Tell us more about the hauler.

 

[LXCam]

Please adopt me...........................pretty please.






Absolutely outstanding!!!

 

[MarkG]

Needs more hand-lettered/'vintage' signs. Lucky for you, I know where you can find them! (see my profile on here)

 

[1carguy]

Happy new year form Honest Dave's Used Cars. Nobody sells less reliable cars at higher prices than Honest Dave, Nobody!

 

[Morio]

[jwhcars]

[356vintage]

Beautiful spaces! Nice rigs too!

 

[getyoungk]

Well "Honest" Dave, I sure enjoyed reading and viewing the thread on your garages and your incredible collection. I wish you and your family a wonderful and healthy 2016! Keep us up to date on changes to your collection or incredible spaces!

Pictures of the shop area below. Plan to order Baldhead cabinets to match showroom cabinets. Space is climate controlled with T5 lighting. Chose to use expoxy floor due to use as opposed to Race Deck.

What size is that work shop area with the lifts

 

[1953mercury]

Pretty amazing space, but you need a few loose bald tires and a couple of oil-pans full of dirty engine parts to add some of that lived in look to the place. Have a great New Year. Mike

 

[Bighead38]

Amazing car collection in amazing garage's.



The only problem that I see is the severe lack of Oldsmobile.

 

[1carguy]

I am thinking of installing New Age Performance Plus cabinets in the shop area. Anyone have an opinion of their quality?

 

[hoho98925]

Wow- beautiful....all of it!!!

 

[87KamikaZ]

All I can say is WOW!!!! Excellent collection and garage!

 

[BryanTX]

Incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Why did you go with an epoxy over racedeck in the shop area? I'm looking at doing my new garage floor and starting to the research process.

 

[TonkaJoe]

wow, wow, and wow... 1carguy that's simply an outstanding build you have, that's what dreams are made of right there!

 

[bulletpruf]

Don't know how I missed this thread, but I love your taste in cars!!!
