Just cleaned her up for Spring. Much work!

Wolverine · Apr 10, 2006

The floor took a beating in here over the winter (Michigan). Just cleaned up the whole place................ time to crawl under the Bullitt and keep modding!!! :rocker:

Heathens · Apr 10, 2006

Nice. On a side note go Buckeye's.

W-Cummins · Apr 10, 2006

Looks nice and clean cept that spot on the wall

seems that you didn't scrub that blue paint hard enough, you might have to just paint over it :evil:

Robbo · Apr 11, 2006

Looks great! I don't think I ever posted in your other thread showing off your garage... but it's one of my favorites.

yep... I dig that box/bench setup... nicely thought out.

Ohh.. and go Sooners!

cdrewferd · Apr 11, 2006

Nice looking shop. I agree, that blue spot didn't come off all the way when you scrubbed the walls. You might want to look into having that proffesionally removed so it doesn't start infecting other things.

Nice garage, I love the tool boxes...

Very nice. Serves my needs well and it's protable. I recommend it.

wythors · Apr 13, 2006

That blue spot is a little known rust inhibitor. It keeps the rust from Chevy's from infecting real cars. I have several large examples in my garage as well and they have worked to perfection.

Truck Guy · Apr 13, 2006

Very nice!

Where did you get your air hose reel? All the reels I've seen around
here look like junk. That one looks nice and solid.

That is a "ReelCraft" 3/8" x 50'. ULTRA EXPENSIVE! I think $225 retail. However, I had someone "on the inside" at Grainger .............. so, I got a very nice discount! :thumbup:

Wolverine, looks nice.. have a Ford Lightning my self, that has a few mods of its own..

very nice. after that good of a garage clean-up you may get asked to do your whole house.

Darren M. · Apr 14, 2006

Too clean!!! Get busy making a mess!!

What i find interesting about your garage is that step. Did you put that in yourself?

Do you mean the elevated cement in the back of the garage? The "second level?" That thing is a true Godsend!!! :rocker:

I'm the second owner of this home. The original owner had it for 11 years. The garage came this way. At first glance, I was not enthused about this "second level" and thought it may restrict garage planning/set-up. Now I've grown to understand the importance of it.

I live in Michigan and this is my only garage. The vehicles are often wet from rain or snow. My tool boxes, air compressor, etc. are completely shielded from this water. It a good/perfect garage, all of the water should drain toward the garage door. Mine does NOT. Most of it drains toward the garage door, accept the front left 1/4..... the water migrates to the front in that section. The "second level" really protects my boxes!

Regardless where in the country I live (even if in Arizona) I will ALWAYS have a garage designed this way. ALWAYS!!!!!

l_bilyk · Apr 15, 2006

Oh... i'm on ontario canada... so I can totally relate
The garage is inclined, but somehow all the **** unds up the front by the compressor, sandblastic cabiner, steel bookshelf, etc.

Wolverine - Around here that "step" is code and called "gas curb". I guess it prevents flammables from a car from getting to the house.

I did not know that. However, in my specific incidence, that would NOT make sense. Facing the back my garage, the house is adjacent on the left side. On the other side of the back wall is just yard.

I kinda figured that yours was a different case after I saw that your house is at least 11 years old. Mines 11 years old and I dont have one. Its become code in the Chicago area in the past few years.

dboat · Apr 16, 2006

I had a house in Dallas with one.. I just got used to it.. I did make a little ramp for some of the rolling tools to use.. I guess it would have been a "gas curb" there.. I live in Erie, and dont have one, but the water does flow toward the drains (one for each bay) or the front of the garage..

How do you open the drawers on the top box without opening the lid?

Once I unlocked the unit, I have been able to open drawers without the top open. I can still open the top, just not all of the way. My torque wrenches and breaker bars are in there.

l_bilyk · Apr 17, 2006

Thats weird. I have pretty much the exact same box and I have to keep the lid open to get into the drawers

OctaneMotorsports · Apr 23, 2006

Ya you better wash that blue spot off soon before it starts to smear all over. You don't want to have a professional have to wash it out, that will take the money out from adding to the amazing set of tools you own. HEHE
