I hope Dubber is paying attention!!!!

Of course I'll pay attention to THAT!!!

Perfect execution my friend well done. Love how that brick wall turned out, great simplicity on the walls with nice touches, awesome placement with the 32" Husky piece and the floor, well it speaks for itself. Bravo!

The Husky cabinet worked perfect for that space with just enough space to get the doors open. It's such a tight fit it had to be built in place due to the garage door tracks. But that's the name of the game for us single car guys....wise use of space.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Wow. Very nice. It was nice before but now its just very clean and detailed.
I'm not great at getting the perspective, may I ask what sort of size internally is your garage, as you do seem to have an ideal amount of room round the cars.

Ya man, that turned out great! Looks real clean and functional. Racedeck floors have always looked kind of cool as it looks a bit different from every angle. Well done !

That space looks amazing. I really think the floor sets it off nice to. Great job on the chimney. I'm usually a fan of leaving it bare and just putting a sealer but it compliments the garage. Nicely done.

Looks great. The walls and painting turned out great and the race deck flooring really finishes it all off. I especially like the lighting, perfect for detailing and like others have mentioned, the layout of the garage provides ample space to easily work around the whole car.

The garage is 13 1/2' wide by 19' deep.

I can't remember if it was Dubber or 55cadillacking who came up with the color design, but you guys are right, they nailed it! I cannot imagine being any happier with a different color combo/design.

Thanks again guys! Compliments from the likes of this crowd means alot!

So it's time for some updates!

You know what the nice thing is about my garage design is all I have to do is keep up with "55cadillacking" and "dubbers" threads and I know what to do next! LOL!

Anyway, on with the latest.

Hid the power wires for the TV and the radio.



Had a new exterior door installed. Cleaner install with better deadbolt. Window opens for air flow. Hinged on the opposite side and swings out and AWAY from the cars and the garage door tracks.



Speaking of garage door tracks, another shout out to "55cadillacking" for the inspiration for the black tracks!







Love everything I've done. After alot of detailing out there since the remodel I can tell you the only thing I would change is I wish I had more space. Other than that, it's great.

I still haven't done anything to the floor but run the shop vac over it to lift grass clippings. I haven't even moped it yet!



55 and Dub, keep it up! I need more ideas! Seriously, thanks for the help and ideas even if you didn't know you were helping out!

No problem. The connection between all our garages is quite cool and unique. How taxing was the painting of the rails?

Hehehe, great to see your enjoying and still improving your space. I was starting to think you were done with the forum :) The black rails is something i'm still toying with, damn you for doing a such great job on them lol...

I haven't gone anywhere, I'm always lurking! Work has been busy and a lot of detailing going on as well.

You're going to have to get in on the black rails! It really looks good. Kind of understated, but clean. 55Cadillac nailed it with that suggestion.

Looks like you're really getting into the detailing. You've got skills!

A couple of small updates.

Painted a black strip at the bottom of the new exterior entry door to make the baseboard appear continuous:



And I painted the spring and hardware/brackets for the garage door black.

It's the fine details that make a difference at this point isn't it?!

The Charger got a little love today. Then I realized I didn't have any pictures of it in the garage!

Just caught up on this thread. I was reading the early posts and thought, "NO! Don't touch that brick!" but it looks great. Better than I would have ever thought. As far as something for a focal point, I think neon would look great. You can have something made and personalized and I think it would look cool. Anyway, my 2 cents. Great garage!:thumbup:

That was getting it cleaned up because it's back to work today! Yes, it stays home with me when I'm off. I thought it looked cool backed in there!

Agreed! It wasn't easy to earn, but it is a very nice benefit. Having it at home makes it nice as well because I have it here when I want to detail and maintain it!

I was just mentioning this to my wife last night and she "reminded" me that her dad, used to get to bring his work car home, as he was patrolling the highways at that time but up here in Canada. He had a Camaro.

It really is nice. When we get it, it becomes "our" car. You get to take it home, but it's also ours to keep clean and organized. I love that part! Being a part time detailer I like the challenge of seeing how clean I can keep my "office" that I drive in every kind of weather throughout the year. It's a matter of pride as the car is a reflection on the organization! (Just as I am!)

Wow! Hadn't seen this thread before. Wonderful transformation and that Charger looks like a scene from Robocop sitting in the garage! Well done!
