New guy's garage

[Clark]

Just joined the forum. Lots of great garages and info!

Here's my garage. It's a working shop so it's not as clean as most. It's a 32x40 stick built with the block run up 2'. It's got 10' ceilings.

The garage is sectioned off into two rooms. One was just to be used for paint (yeh right!). All walls are insulated so I can heat only the areas I want. A forced hot air system keeps it warm in the winter. There is a double door between the two rooms so I can get bodies and larger equipment from side to side.

There is a 14x40 second floor for storage. I have grocery store shelving full of parts up there.

There will be a bathroom in the one corner as soon as I get time to run the water.

I am out of room and need to add on. A carport may be the first addition. I want to add one to the side and make it look like a gas station. That side faces the road and I think it would look pretty cool. I have a pair of Wayne 60 gas pumps and a few things from the Clark gas co. to go out there. Plus my hot rods sit outside right now and could really use a home.

Later plans include adding 24' out on the back. That would give me an additional 24x40 for storage and clean some stuff out of the shop.

Hope I didn't ramble too much! Here's the pics...

Pretty cool Clark !!!
A model A, a couple of tall T's !!

Nice set up.
What ya got planned for the coupes ???

 

[Clark]

Thanks guys!

The Willys sign was actually being used as flooring in an old barn at one of my favorite junkyards.

The chopped T is the only one that is mine. The Tall T will be leaving next week. I just built a chassis for it. The A coupe is just about ready to get painted.

Here's an old pic of the shop and my shop truck that I push the snow with.

NICE. I like the old Rods, and I like that CocaCola sign

 

[Clark]

Funny thing about that Coke sign...it was used as a lid for a huge BBQ pit.

Another HAMBer on here huh. Nice shop. And as usual I am in awe of your AD truck, hope mine looks that good someday.

 

[snorvet]

Nice shop Clark. looks like my grandfather's shop in the early 1960's.

 

[beezerbum]

Wow! I love your place! Looks useable. I love the "accumulation of goodies! Wow! I ran a shop for 30 some years and now I have my "stuff" stored all over the place My wife can't understand. I do have my mill and lathe and sunnen machine and valve grinder in "Her" garage. This site is encouraging me to add on or build a separate shop. I like yours! Hey, nice "snowplow!"

I was on the boards this morning talkng about the new car I bought. I saw a link to this discussion. As I am looking at the pics of the garage I am thinking..."hey, I have seen this before". For anyone reading this post, this is a very cool garage with some very cool cars around it. If you are a fan of traditional style rods...this is your guy.
I did see it before...yesterday as a matter of fact when I picked up the title to my new traditional 26 T coupe. My friend and I had a tour of the shop and it is "totally bitchin", "totally ****" whatever phrase you can come up with.


John says hey to Clark....money there yet?

 

[hrm2k]

And that " T " coupe that Clark mentioned way back as being his coupe.....wrong...it's mine now...and I am stoked..how about a pic of it finished...sure
