Just found this site!

Here's my garage/shop.

http://www.rennlight.com/shop/

Highlights: 25x25, bathroom, scissor lift set into floor, air, lots of light, lots of electrical (110v & 220v), A/C, positive ventilation, stainless-covered workbenches, copper-plated welding bench, computer w/wireless newworking, fridge. Plan to add a vacuum later.

Cost me ~$20k - $25k, doing a lot of the work myself.

That's a nice looking shop. I like the flush mounted scissor lift idea. I've seen that done commercially, but not at home. Nice job!

What's the ring for?

What's the ring for?

The ring doesn't live in there full time, I just plug it in when I need it. I use it for when I have to have a very solid anchoring point. For example, I used it to pull a dent out of the rocker of a friend's VW bus

That's pretty damn cool. And nice car and shop/garage. It looks nice and it's functional. Beautiful.

Edit: I just noticed you're in Sac! I live in Elk Grove and work downtown Sac. Do you track your car in Thunderhill?

Awsome shop. Man you guys keep showing me things I need to do to my shop to improve it. This site rocks.

Yup. I was just instructing there last Friday

Welcome

Hey, it's great to have another Track Junkie join the ranks!
I noticed that your 964 has a soft top in place in the garage, and a hard top in the track photo.
Do you run it as an open car on occasion as well?

Nice shop
Brian

It's actually a 1977 911. I sold the soft top, installed a full cage, and fabbed a fiberglass hardtop, and then made a mold from it - I'll be selling copies shortly.
