Show us your shop.

Let's see what your shop looks like. Show us where your projects are worked on. Mine looks like a three car garage but my truck just barely fits next to the pile of stuff that has been ejected from the house. Let's see some shop/garages that people can be proud of. Share any good ideas.

Show us what you got.

My first car was a 69 Dart GTS. Also a piece (because it was wrecked when I bought it), but very fast.

Well here is mine. It gets a bit crowded at times, but the 24x30 works for what I got.

Re: Show us your shop.

My shop is a 2 1/2 car garage that is much like a 68-69 Dodge, and so are most of my tools. I have a two car detatched which is not really worth mention.

My wife bought this for me so I wouldn't have to go 20 miles away to my old rented shop.

Re: Show us your shop.

Here's my new home away from home. I'm just moving in. Still got a lot of work to do...

Looks kinda like a house but it's not...








This is what I affectionately call my meth barn out back...


And my carport


The only thing missing is a bunch of trucks. I figure I've got room for at least 6. I like to work late at night and I'm in heavy industrial zoning so I can make all the noise I want!
