Great place Rex Ruby. Maybe mine will clean up that good one day.

So you like Corvettes?

Rex, Followed your construction on one of the Vette sites a while back. Being such a garage junkie I even saved the photos back then.

Looks great. Tks for posting.
How high is the ceiling on your side with the lift?
I really like the idea of a 3 car with one area high enougn for a lift and storage above the rest.

Its kool to follow along with the build and see the changes as the progress. Great picture of a great looking garage . How long did the entire project take ? I see 2 vettes for sure but is that third car a vette to ?

Nice garage, but three burgundy C4s? Where have you found your Chevy/Vette memorabilia? I'm starting to look for it now to cover the garage with C5 posters and assorted junk.

Looks Nice ---Oh I dream, and so day I will have

I might be wrong but I believe the Ruby Vettes were the 40th Anniversary models.

You are correct! It was 2 Rubies, a coupe and a vert. The vert has been sold. The other is a black on black ZR1

I found a lot on Ebay.
Also the corvette catalogs

Looks sweet.
No heat?

Is that U-Coat flooring...NICE SHOP...Why tear down and rebuild why not just add on?

 

[Rex Ruby]

There is heat. Heater is in the attic.

The way my lot was laid out it made more sense to tear down.

Yes it is a U-Coat floor. Don't use U-Coat it *****, after 3 years I still get paint lift at the tires.

 

[Wile1Coyote]

When did you put down your u coat, from the time you poured the slab?

Slab was at least 90 days old.

The name of the thread sure fits! Great looking garage!!! Please excuse me while I wipe off my chin.

Good job documenting the building process with the pics.

Love them Chevy's.

Ebay and swap meets are great places to find memorabilia. And that looks to me like 2 40th anniv. vetts the burguandy and a black c4

Nice shop, Rex! What's the interior height in the bay with the lift? Did you do anything extra "slab-wise" where the lift sits?

12'4"
I had piers dug out so there is more cement where the lift sits
