Second time around

[Alsv8vair]

Hi. It has been a long time but I am coming back to see what's going on. Getting around to try to fix up my garage. Much work to be down.

Let's see what your garage looks like now.

 

[Alsv8vair]

It is a mess. Tomorrow I will get some photos up. I can tell you it is 20 x 24. 12 foot ceiling. Just had installed a insulated high lift door.

A friend from another site recommend I come back by here.

Alsv: you joined about the same time i did, but i lurked for years before i decided to join in and post pieces of my heart and soul and gain a lot of good friends.

glad you are still around and ask if you need any help posting pictures. i use the paperclip just above where we are writing our posts to attach pictures sort of like an email.

cheers

Sorry about the delay. But I took a week off and went to the cottage. Back now.

So I recent was putting insulation up. Today got some more plywood on the walls. Garage is a mess have to move a lot of stuff to get work done. I am going to buy or build new work benches along the side wall.
Just had the new high lift door installed. I think I may do the rest of the wall in plywood and maybe the ceiling.
Still to to are new back door and window. And run a new electrical panel.

Photo loading is different here. Hope they all work.

Welcome to the group, Welcome back, keep posting

 

[Alsv8vair]

I am still not sure weather to finish the rest of the wall and ceiling in drywall or plywood.
I will not get back to it until next week.

I am trying to decide on what to do for work benches. ??

Hello and welcome from Ohio! Oooh....is that I '66 I see? I still own my first car, a '65.

 

[Alsv8vair]

Thanks.
Yes. 66 Belair. Not finished yet. But getting close.

Bought it as a roller. A friend was building it to drag race.
Was a 6. Now 327/700R4. 12 bolt. 3:73.

Looks like an Impala by the small photo

Alsv: if price isn't an issue why not finish with plywood instead of sheetrock especially since you already have it on the bottom. also it will be easier to screw things into such as shelving or hooks or whatever.

looks great.

have you already done your research about the lifts? there is a lot of information on this forum in case you need any or just ask. what do you need a lift for? i'm sure you already know that some lifts need tall ceilings so make sure you buy the right one.

cheers

Welcome aboard. I've had a couple of V8 'vairs pass through my possession.

I would suggest that you have a mod move this thread to the garage gallery as here in the introductions it will not get a lot of traffic.
