My Texaco Garage

[firstyearta]

Greetings. I am new here today. Someone pointed me to this site and suggested I post some pics of my garage. The garage is mostly complete though it's still a work in progress. I hope to add a diner booth to the interior in the near future. I named it "Bonneville Texaco" for 2 reasons. 1. I live in Tooele County, Utah where the Bonneville Salt Flats are. and 2. I am the president of the local Pontiac club.

You can view pics at the following link:

I'll second Jononon's View, both the garage and the Log Home look great. Thanks for posting.

I'll give you $1500 for the convertible firebird with wierd stripes.

(seriously though, that place is cavernous... awesome! What kind of business did it used ot be?)

I'm betting it used to be a lumberyard. The storage area photo gives it away.

Sorry for the delay getting back...

The main shop size is apx 30X60.

The shop is not my business, however it's at my business. I own a pawnshop and this is the back half of the building we are in. The storage building is behind this one.

Maulerman is the winner on what sort of business it once was. Before we bought the building it was a BMC West which is a division of Boise Cascade (both lumber yards).

The back storage building is apx 9000 SF

Man this really gets me going.Thanks!
I am way into Texaco stuff, don't have much but someday I'll take and post some pics.
You know, guys, fer a nut like me who is really into this, you could pain a back wall inside your garage like this, put up a couple of the 3-D pieces for effect, and get some of the look here...
Hmmmm.

 

[GarageFreak]

I am very envious!! That garage is awesome and don't even get me started on the car!! Very nice work!!

 

[Rvette05]

You mean like this SAM_8. Easy and fun to do.

 

[sam 8]

Yes sir, that is exactly what I mean!
I am working now in the planning stages (waiting for excavator) to do a 24 x 30 additon to my existing 20x30 shop. Already dreaming about the Texaco stuff that I am going to load it with. I have a Boyle-Dayton 87b visible pump I am going to resto in Texaco Eythl motif, a lublster tat will get a like treatment, several signs, etc.
When we really get moving, I'll post up pics for everybody.
