Checkered Flag's garage

[CheckeredFlag]

Been working on my garage for a couple of years, doing a little bit each time ... still plenty left to do. Not as fancy as some, but it's mine and it works fine for me

Dry wall up and currently just painted the slant wall and ceiling with KILZ because I had a couple of buckets from another project and didn't want it to go to waste. (Walls and ceiling). I used 1/2" OSB on the tan painted walls, (and a few spots of pegboard) because the only thing I'm putting on them is part of my sign collection.

Lights are up, and bright enough for me to detail my car.

Have done a little work on the floors, that will be my project for this year.

I have Husky cabinets and Kobalt storage unit.

Rebuilt my little shop table last year.... I mainly just do wood carving, so I don't need a huge vice or a massive workbench ... just some place to set my wood project and a couple of carving knifes ...

so here we go .... it's a work in progress ...

If you haven't been to Germany - the Blue sign means "now entering the Autobahn" and the White sign means "No Speed Limit"

These were hanging somewhere in Germany at one time .. the fact that I was stationed there for 5 years is just a coincidence ...

Lots of License plates from lots of my favorite Car movies .... do you know them ?

Very cool signs and plates! Every garage needs at least a few of each!

Be All You Can Be was the slogan when I joined the Army ... also featured in the movie "Stripes" .... and the "Leaving" sign is special because I was in Germany when the Wall came down !

Very nice garage. Great organization and a very nice looking arrangement. The old signs are fantastic and I vote for the Dairy Queen as the best one. You have great tastes in garage art and I like the entire shop as a whole.

Thanks for posting your place!!!

Best Regards
