Finally, here it is!

[Wolverine]

It's my first garage, so be kind. My military career, undergraduate school, graduate school and jobs had us moving all over the place. Now that we finally settled down, I have a garage that I could call truly mine. It was completely bare when I first started 3 years ago (I have young children so it took a while to get it done).


I sincerly want to thank my wife Michele for all of her hard work and patience throughout this process. All emblems are PAINTED. My wife did this for me. She is truly skilled and put a TON of work into it all.



Thank you Michele (common now, everyone thank Michele!)



Highlights of what I did:

- Installed an attic floor and drop down ladder
- Fully insulated, top and sides
- Drywalled
- Industrial floor epoxy
- Mills Pride cabinets from home depot
- Custom built shelving (I went overkill with them, LOL)
- Gladiator work bench
- Two 40" craftsman tool chests under bench
- One 26" craftsman roll-away
- One 26" craftsman chest
- All craftsman tool chest are ball-bearing with griplatch system
- Griot's Oil Storage rack
- Griot's spray can rack
- Griot's glove box holder
- Everything Car's Brake rotor clock
- etc. etc.

Very, Very, Very strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The website did NOT post the pictures in the order in which I selected them. It also placed pictures side-by-side, expanding the screen!

Many appologies!

 

[Wolverine]

I'm very sorry on how crazy this photo page is! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thanks for sharing. Your taste colors, wives, cars, tools, floor coatings, layout are impeccable

Your taste in beers still needs some work..

The Miller Lite pose is strategic. A fellow Bullitthead on IMBOC.com loves Miller Lite. I posed with one to fire him up!!!!!!!!!!!!11

That is a damn fine garage! I can't wait 'til I have my own garage to do what I want with...

Looks like a lot of money and time has gone into that place!

Oh, and DAMN those back tires are HUGE!!!

Nice job with the cabinets. You can never have too much storage! Michelle did a good job on the paintings and it's great to see the wife get involved with the project. Now maybe she'll be more understanding when you spend all your time out in the garage.


Depending on how often you use your torpedo heater you may want to build a rolling cart for it. I got tired of lugging mine around when I wanted to use it especially with a full tank of kerosene. It was more awkward than anything so I cut a piece of plywood to fit under it and attached four castors to the plywood. When it's not in use and has cooled off I can just push it under the bench or against the wall out of the way.

Right on! My bro went and toured the original Yuengling brewery, as we live in PA and all. Here's some pics from it:

WERE NOT WORTHY!!!


You have one of my favorite garages so far. Not to mention your awesome stang, and obviouslly, your awesome wife.

Man oh man... I cant wait till im outa college and can get a REAL job and hopefully be able to do something like this.

Something about using those tool boxes is just great. If you dont mind, Im thinking of copying you when we go to redo our work area. Of course, it wont be with tool chests THAT nice.

Damn, Very clean! Definitely a hall of fame garage.

My garage used to be clean until I started some woodworking projects.


As for the screwy pictures... I have complained to the vBulletin people about the way they upload in the past. Basically to get them in the order you want they have to be uploaded one at a time. You can still do multiple pics in a single post, just upload them individually. If multiple pictures are uploaded at once they are placed in the order that they upload. The smaller ones will be first and so on. Stupid I know, but not really anything I can do to fix it unfortunately.

Amazing garage. Great job on everything.

Now go buy some decent beer. You could drink crappy beer in your old garage, but a garage like this requires an upgrade. You could suffer the effects of garage beer rejection syndrome. You walk into a great garage with a six pack of bad beer and WHOOM! all they find is a pile of ashes. Your great wife ends up letting another guy drive your Bullitt. Better not risk it. Any Shiner available around there. Never heard of any garage fatalities when Shiner was in good supply.

This garage brings a blue oval tear to my eye. Great layout and design. Fantastic execution. Very nicely done! Here's to wives that support our projects.

Thank you, Michele!

Wow, great job, Michele! Oh yeah, you too, Wolverine! The painted emblems are awsome. I have to agree with kartracer55, one of my favorites.

One of my most favorite beers...unfortunately I have to make beer runs to Erie, PA to get some as they don't yet sell it in ohio. I go about every 3 months and get 4-5 cases.


And nice work on the garage, I wish I could keep mine that organized and clean!

Awesome looking garage. We where up in AA last year for a game in the Big House. We have a friend that lives on Stonebridge Dr, south of Ellsworth and Lohr. Nice area.... Cottage Inn pizza was awesome and Znitzers(sp) was cool.
