Ya man, that's going to be a pretty cool set up once you dial in the areas. At least the basic structure is there to give you a good head start. Good luck on the rest of the project and keep the pic's coming.

 

[DodgeMech]

any plans on knocking down the outer wall there and covering up the uncovered part later?

nice transformation...i'd love a shop like that of my own

My poor craftsman air compressor took a **** and i decided to break down and buy a real compressor. Also i got a aqua parts washer and i have used it once and I freaking love it.
I managed to get one piece of tin up on the walls to see how it would look. Now I have to change the color and get polar white this is too dark.

[
Also picked up a forklift. So when I need to move dead trucks in and out of my shop I can do it by myself.

Nice shop and machines.
That Samurai looks just like mine.
I like your new sink and I could really use a gooseneck trailer like yours, what make is it and what capacity?

 

[LXCam]

Very nice additions you got. I use my forklift constantly for moving dead cars around, what a life saver that is.

Thanks I have really grown to fast with my equipment to shop space ration. lol
The Samurai has some big plans ahead of it. I just bought a 1.9 VW TDI motor for it.
the Sink dimensions are 24x24x15 ordered it off ebay it and faucet for $130 (scratch and dent)
I assume the trailer your talking about is my low profile with winch and crane on it. The trailer is a GPI made in Mississippi with a 14k GVW

Thanks I am usually by myself when it comes to working on the trucks and equipment so this will make my life much easier.

You'll really like the Sami with an oil burner in it. I have a 1.6na in mine, drive it every day and put fuel in it every 3 weeks.

I see you've used PVC for airlines and I'm surprised the fanatics haven't hung you yet. In the picture above you have quit a dip in one run and that dip will eventually fill with water/oil and cause you problems. Good practice dictates that you have straight lines with a pitch to one end or the other so the condensate does not puddle mid line and will flow to a point that you have a drain ****.

Things otherwise are looking good.

no neat sig line

The Air lines in the pic are not even used anymore the compressor went out. Also if you notice its not even connected to the post at the top. I have plans to redo it all. As for now I am not worried.

Looks like you have plenty of room and potential. But, remember, your stuff will expand to fill the space no matter how big the garage! But that's a good thing; right?

 

[Hounddog]

What a transformation!!! Congrats!

oh my you must be mistaken I have no room. I have already started talking to a contractor about building a 60x100 shop.

What a transformation!!! Congrats!

Thanks Still a lot to do

I got some extra fund so instead of finishing the inside like i should have.I am pouring more concrete. So I can tear down bigger stuff outside my shop like tractors and grain trucks for customers repairs. new paid is a 30x70 4" thick with wire

 

[not enoughsmoke]

Got the pad poured today and had the concrete guy fill both ends of my shop to cap the base more one end of my shop always floods when it rains hard

 

[matta5]

Looking good, like the panel on the inside walls, looks like it brightens it up. Nice new slab also

 

[s_blaylock]

excellent shop! thanks for sharing! I love that there is a different truck in almost every picture. cant wait to see how you set the machine shop portion up.

 

[vtwinjunkie]

So jealous of your space man.

 

[not enoughsmoke]

Today they came back and put cuts and dressed up the dirt

Well I wanted to finish up the interior walls and wiring. However I felt the need for more concreted space. Since I constantly have bigger equipment and trucks that wont fit in my shop sometimes.

excellent shop! thanks for sharing! I love that there is a different truck in almost every picture. cant wait to see how you set the machine shop portion up.

Lol I have 8 different Trucks and cars I also do work for farmers. I like to be able to do everything in house.

So jealous of your space man.

thanks man

Sorry i forgot the photos of the post i removed before the concrete as i had changed my orginal plan with the post and 2 signs i bought to decorate my walls

 

[not enoughsmoke]

This is my latest and greatest Toy. Bridgeport J milling machine with power feed table that I bought off a guy that had it for 22 years. Also I couldn't resist playing with it on a cummins cylinder head(milled the intake shelf off) before that i picked up a new Tig welder and made some use of it and my old lathe.

 

[not enoughsmoke]

here is also some other work and projects i am still working on

Seal installer for Dodge Dana 60 CAD axle shaft sealer

This going to be a Fire ring cutting tool or jig for cummins head hopefully
just the top of the block

This is a full rebuild I also did on a customers motor most of the funds went to the concrete pad

 

[1/2 Cup]

I know of a few Cummins enthusiasts on the GJ that will be taking a keen interest.
