Hey,
Been reading the forum for the last couple of weeks, and have been impresed with a lot of the garages. Decided to post some pics of my garage in NC. Enjoy!!!

Floor - Quikcrete Epoxy
Cabinets - One of the big box stores for the large ones on the walls, the ones by the door made out of 3/4" melamine coated MDF.

Couple of nice ponies you have there.

Tell us about them.

Are they your daily drivers or for show and shine?

Looks great man!

Thanks thomask.

Red one (mine) is a 67, originally a 6cy, converted to a carbureted 5.0 w/AOD trainy, 9 inch rear with 3.5 gears and power disk breaks on all four corners. I bought the car when I was 16 and have had it for almost 25 years. Didn’t always look this good. Only original sheet metal on the car is the drivers door and the roof.

Green one (hers - just ask her) is a 70, all original with a 2brl 302 and a C-4 auto. Bought it a few years ago (before the economy when to ****). This car has had normal maintenance done to it and one re-paint about 6 years ago. It was a California car (to include the California Smog kit) and still has all the original sheet metal and other parts. Only 69,000 miles.

We drive them as much as we can, and take them to shows 3-4 times a year. Neither are trailer queens, so if you see them on one, they are eithe broke down hard or stolen!!

Thanks for the info on those two nice ponies. That 67 will get on down the rode I imagine.

Wish I still had my first pony, it was a 65 fastback, 289, factory air, rally pack. Sold that one back in 1970. I think I sold it for around 950.00.

I wonder if it has a good home?

I have had five ponies. My wife drives the little grandkids in her 2005 around town. They love it, too.

Don't ever part with your two, you won't be sorry. I agree with you 100% on keeping off the trailer, they are made to drive and enjoy.

Looks good! You done good to get all that stuff in your garage - I had trouble getting an MG, a motorcycle and my tools in a so-called 2 car garage (so we doubled it to 25' X 42'). Where in NC are you located? We're in Mebane - about 20 miles west of Durham.

I like the "Hippies use back door sign".

ghnl - I am in Jacksonville, and we had to downsize when we moved in three years ago from a garage that was 24'x24'. Had to put the engine lift and stand in the shed in the back yard. Getting ready to move back to VA to a garage that will be 23'x23'/32', looking forward to that!!

Ah, good ol' Jax (96-02). I hear it's a much different place these days.

Sorry to hijack, I just miss that place... (yes, really!)
