My Mopar Mancave

[moparsandharleys]

So new to posting on the forums. Been a long time lurker here and i have a love/hate relationship with this site. Currently in process of building my own 27 x 50 2 story garage with loft storeage. Being built by contractor not myself. Job doesnt allow me that kind of time... This is where the hate with this site comes in. Soo many GREAT ideas!!! I can not wait for them to finish so i can move into the new area and get started! Pictures will come as soon as i can figure out how to post.

Welcome to The Garage. I can understand the love/hate thing, I love this forum, however, I hate what it does to my wallet. Don't forget pics of the Harley too!

Tell me about it. I've been on here for about a year or so, but hadn't really paid much attention to the site. I came here looking for tool box recommendations a week ago & now I'm contemplating what I'm going to do with the plain floors, walls, & cooling my garage.
I'm already broke, I didn't need consider all of this other stuff too.

What kind of mopar stuff you got? I have a freind that just sold his old swepty truck. Wish I could have bought it.

Definitely figure out picture part. We need to see. Sounds cool

 

[cj6]

Oh yea glad you stopped lurking. We need less lurking and more perking.

Any garage that will house Mopars is one I am interested in!

Sooo here is the VERY beginning. Then a teaser of where we are now. The giant 7 ton tree root ball was removed and sewer line that runs under where garage will be required upgrading.

 

[moparsandharleys]

Sewer line covered and compacted and now digging trenches for foundations.

[moparsandharleys]

One course of block on top of foundations to get height for hoist inside.

 

[moparsandharleys]

Ready for the first pour. Poured half of floor one day and second half the next.

Welcome to the GJ yep this place is addicting

[moparsandharleys]

the 2nd pour. I was very impressed that my contractor did it all and didn't sub anything except the block out.

 

[moparsandharleys]

Mopar or no car. Will post up some pics later of a few. What kind of toys you have Daniel?

 

[moparsandharleys]

Sorry for the low quality cell phone pics. Here is the completed foundation. All in about a week. Next up framing!

 

[moparsandharleys]

First day of framing. These guys are kicking ***!

 

[moparsandharleys]

I realized I need to post a picture of what this will look like when it's done. Going to go dig up that pic now.

 

[moparsandharleys]

I will have to post some of the toys later on but i have several. My fastest and funnest is a low 11 second small block drag race 96 Dakota pickup.

 

[Daniel_DePetro]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing those photos!

Mopar or no car. Will post up some pics later of a few. What kind of toys you have Daniel?

[moparsandharleys]

Ok here the monster is. It's rather overkill and even oversized but it's as big as is allowed and I'm only going to spend the money once and I will NEVER leave this garage.

 

[Daniel_DePetro]

Looks amazing!
