New guy (24x36 garage)

[408Chevelle]

Hey everyone, I just joined and I'm amazed by some of the garages on here! Anyways, I'm a 19 year old college student and have been restoring my '70 Chevelle with my Dad in this garage for the past 6 years. It's almost done and my younger brother just got a '79 Corvette project car. The upstairs of the garage is a bar/game room area. Just wanted to say hey.

Thanks. It looks really unorganized in the pictures, but we've had a lot of projects going on lately.

Unorganized? I see all the bottles sitting on one shelf, cords all hung up, jacks and jack stands all in one place... That is not unorganized!!!

Your dad seems to be a great guy to spend the time and money working with you and your brother to make some great cars! Enjoy the time while you can, learn everything you can from your dad, and enjoy your car!

^ If that is unorganized, then you really haven't SEEN unorganized. BTW....Love the Chevelle

"The Snap-on box our friend gave us after he retired"

I wish my friends would give me a Snap-On Box when they retire. Holy Sh!t.

Love the 70, my fav Chevelle. What are the specs on it? 454 w/ 4 spd?

 

[cyclopsblown34]

Nice garage and nicer cars. I think the 78-82 are the best looking of the soft bumper Vettes. Any more pics of the shop?

 

[Motown 454]

Very nice Chevelle and a nice Corvette too . Thats a sweet place to work on the cars, and the best person to work with, your dad. You have a sweet setup.

 

[408Chevelle]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Unorganized?

Well maybe not "unorganized," but cluttered compared to normal lol.

Yeah, he retired from the wrecker building service after 30 long years and said, "Here, take them! Just keep them clean."

The Chevelle has a bored out small block 400, th 400 trans and once I get some sticky tires it should be running low 12s all day long!

Nice garage and nicer cars. I think the 78-82 are the best looking of the soft bumper Vettes. Any more pics of the shop?

Thanks. I'll try and get some more tomorrow.

[Blue Seducer]

Nice cars, nice garage, great friend. Any pics of the upstairs?

Just what I was going to ask.

 

[408Chevelle]

Hey guys. I totally forgot to reply back to my thread and upload some more pictures. Better late than never.

What are the patches by the payphone ?

Police patches from all over the country. We still have more to put up.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Police !?!? If they were FD patches,I'd send you one from here.

Thanks, but we're just doing PDs right now. It makes sense, but I've never thought about firemen collecting patches until now.

Very nice setup, love the cars and I love the second floor. It`s threads like this that are going to make me broke trying keep up with Jones on here !

Your lucky to have a dad that's willing to work with you on projects, don`t forget to thank him !

 

[TheAnser]

Great lil space, nice cars, and cool dad, he even lets you hang bras upstairs...

 

[Chuckleins]

Can you post a couple of pictures of the back side of the garage? also 1 from the left side - I am interested in the overhang on the back

 

[Kevin54]

Wow!!! I forgot about this thread. Loving the tinwork in the bathroom and the upstairs. I especially like the matching galvanized sink. Unique idea. Pics saved for future reference. Thanks.

 

[Bib Overalls]

Missed this thread the first time through. Good stuff. I'm glad it came back up.

I don't have any more exterior pictures right now, but there's really not much going on back there. I'm not sure what you're seeing in the picture, there's no overhang.

Thanks. The tinwork is perfect for the garage, because it is very low maintenance! You don't have to worry about bumping into it and needing to repaint.

Awesome garage. I too love the sink in the bathroom.


And what's the story behind the bras on the wall? Trophies found in the back seat of the Chevelle?

LC.

Maybe one or two.


The story: Recently a buddy of mine jokingly suggested that the ladies should "pay admission" to the garage. One thing led to another and we eventually started hanging them on the wall. Some are real and some were gag gifts.

The Cobb county one is easy to pick out. I have a bunch of patches as well...

Awesome place. I like the rustic look, especially the bathroom. Nice sink...
