Garages at Night Thread

[C_F]

Hello everyone! Just sharing some photos of our shop in beautiful, rustic NE MO. Took these shots last night... 80X100 bowstring truss building constructed in 1936 as a Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealership. It’s still in the family and we use the shop every single day... We definitely have a lot of QST there on the weekends!

That's really cool! I have a hunch that the inside lighting is a tad brighter than it was in 1936, eh?

Oh most definitely! Over the years dad and I have completely remodeled the building. We’ve added both high-output fluorescent and LED fixtures. I’d like to add more though. If we can’t have enough light to do surgery in that building, I won’t be happy! We’ve finally added a shop couch, too. At night we’ll chill out and watch the highway traffic go by...

Time to bump this thread again. I was changing the fork oil in the bike and thought about this thread.

I could tell right away that is a BC house. Looks amazing.

The garage is so cluttered and full of project stacking up that my buddy is working on his Explored outside tonight with just the light from the open garage door and an exterior flood light.

From the street with interior lights on and a security light. No cars in yet as the construction isn't quite finished and lots of possible nails around the area.

No progress on projects since my last picture, but here's a different view of the same messy garage.

Here's my quonset shop at night

This is a great thread. There is something so right about working in the garage on a warm evening with the door/s openned and all the sounds in the neighbourhood mixed together. I've really enjoyed looking at these images, all the cool rides surrounded by tools and spare parts. Here is my contribution such as it is, a work in progress.

I've added a new sign to the front of the party garage and took a few shots inside with less lights on.t of

That's an amazing space Don. Having a second floor/balcony is awesome. I've been fortunate to be included in a few local garage tours that are similar to your collection. All help inspire and define my own. Thanks for posting.

Was walking up the driveway from the Shop the other night and snapped this.

Shortycourt asked for a twilight shot of the Foster Freeze sign when completed so I caught this shot last night

Your garage is lookin sweet. I really like the lights around the bumper car. We have a lot of the same taste in toys and stuff. The aliens are out of my comfort zone however. NICE GARAGE. Thanks for posting it up

I love the aliens… it’s a weird obsession. We’re planning an 8’ flying saucer display for the roof but it’s taking some time to work out the details. Lol thanks for the reply Don, I’d love to check out your place some day, it’s on my bucket list.

The late evening sun shining into the garage. Old to new(er) 1953 to 2012:

And all those cars look clean !
Miss those incredible sunsets.

My recently finished garage.

The floor coating guys come back tomorrow to start the big side. The little side was done a week or so ago.





I know this is the "at night" thread, but here is what the garage looks like.

 

[ODIS]

Nice!

This was from January 2020 in our old house. Just moved into the new one and have a lot of work to do before the car comes home again.

I don't think I have posted this in here.

Love the E36 M3. I had a 99 back in the day, very similar to yours. I wish I wouldn't have sold that car. Have you seen Matt Moreman's E36 M3 that he's currently working on? He's the Obsessed Garage guy. I think he used to be on this forum.

 

[Odd Job]

When I see those old BMW's I always recall the first time I really paid attention to one, sitting in a theater in 1979 watching The China Syndrome.

Here's mine at night from a month and half or so back when I finally put the exterior lights up. 30x50 Worldwide Steel building:

I have watched a couple videos. I am/was an OG affiliate but I haven't watched his stuff in a while. I need to get caught back up.

This picture was taken at night, does that still count. The floor is now all finished. It is a two tone gray custom mix.

Bumping an awesome thread again.

Last night while waiting for the wife to get home so I could fix a rock chip in her windshield and after parking my Jeep back in the house garage and taking the garbage out I snapped these couple of pictures of the shop with the lights on and most of the leaves off of my trees just as the sun was going down.

Here is a picture of the night I moved my cars into the new house. This was about 2:00 am and I had to go back to the old house and finish packing up the garage and be out of that house by 9:00 am that was a LONG night.

Glad to see this thread pop up active again. Here are some pics of my space at night.

Space has garage doors at both ends as I added 1,200 sq ft to it 3 years ago.
Christmas lights about to go up, so update coming . . .

 

[don long]

Very nice place

 

[Swanny1953]

Thanks, Don - I get to spend lots of time out there!!
