[Albrainya]

yes- the walls were plaster and wire lathe- i had to rip all that out and redo all the electric, insulate, add baseboard heat, new doors, sheetrock, windows, etc etc..

 

[jeepgod]

[DynoDave]

Wow, that's an amazing transformation. I like the engine building clean area as well. Nice work! Now go get the Mustang back on the road.

 

[Runum]

Oh WOW!

 

[Spotty-dog]

I've never seen a "fridge" like a gas pump before - clever! If thats what I think it is!

 

[Albrainya]

thanks for the replies- yes that is a fridge gas pump. I wanted to do something with it so it didnt just look like a white fridge in the garage. And I also realized that when you redo a garage like that, its easy to keep it clean. Ive already rebuilt an engine, a transmission and a rear axle in there and you tend to work "cleaner" when you are in a nice clean garage. Im going to start on the mustang in the future, right now im building a different car. Thanks to everyone for the kind words, it was a year of hard work but it paid off in a big way.

Looks great quite a transformation

I would like to see more details (pics, explanations, etc.) on this corner bench.

 

[Albrainya]

Hi. I built the corner benches out of a couple of different materials. The piece that is directly in the corner that holds the TV is made from 3/4 inch MDF. The legs are made with 4x4 pressure treated lumber, with 2x4 frames and they have double 3/4 plywood tops. I used the extra racedeck floor tiles as a worktop, so far they are holding up well. I screwed the benches to the wall studs to give extra strength
and they are solid as a rock. Then i "built in" the cabinets under one of the workbenches. heres a picture of the benches in progress

Awesome job, man!

By the way, beezerbum, there was a thread on here a while back about those fridge kits. They come in all different sizes and pump styles.

 

[krooser]

Wow!!!!

 

[DynoDave]

That side shot of your stainless tool box is interesting. I've never seen a box with a sloped front like that.

 

[beezerbum]

Thanks for the info on the "fridge" I'll check it out. Neat idea! Thanks.

Awesome job, man!

awesome garage amd sweet '69, my favortie year....hence the name. you should come over and hang out @ 69stang.com forums. can you tell us about that sandblaster?

 

[sca037]

Dan,

That was a very well spent year......kudos on a great outcome
I had a question about compressor noise, as in does that tile (tileboard?) on the walls in that room act to reflect the sound a bit?

Again, superb job
Brian

 

[Albrainya]

The compressor is a 4- cylinder, it runs at a fairly low rpm, and is not that loud, and it doesnt come on too often with the 80 gallon tank. BUT my previous compressor was one of those small "oilless" ones, and if youve ever heard one of those, anything sounds quiet compared to that. The tile walls are 4x8 sheets of tileboard, and they dont seem to reflect the noise, main reason for that tile is easy cleanup in that area. thanks for the kind words
