Finally I got all my shit in one pile! WooHoo! Here's my new 10 car shop! Just about full right now! (Didn't take long to fill it!) It has 3 offices and a Shitter! I think I may live in one of the office and call it home! Here's a few pics! Let me know what you think! The front fascia! I photo chopped the sign. There is a sign cabinet existing...so I will take advantage of that! The logo for the sign! Lets get on with it! Before... After...Oh yea! Shot from the back...standing on my Sons snowmobile!

My OT 64 1/2 Stang (For sale BTW) My 66 Fastback...(Not for sale BTW) My Nephews "Fairlane 500"...I'm trying to talk him into "Gassin" it! My next build...37 Ford Pickup. WooHoo! ...and here she is...still gotta drag it outta the yard! My daily driver! HaHa The workbench... Built in shelving... another shot of the 46 and 40... Wallpaper...my art! Still got 100 more to put up! Remember these? I used the hell outta this when I was learning to weld! My Old Man came draggin it in the other day...Thanks Dad! I am stoked about this shop and I have 1 stall left to restore a Model "A" back to original (thats a different thread to follow) More pics to come! Thanks for looking! Feedback is welcome! Neal
Nothing like a big shop to store your "stuff" and have room for working. Only problem is after your there for awhile it gets small and your wishing it were larger. My 40'X80' 2 story was HUGE when I built it and first moved in.............been planning a 30'X80' addition for over 10 years. The wife thinks I'm nuts. Frank
Glad to hear you're open to sleeping in one of the offices. It's happened to most of us. Nice digs though.
is this just a family hang out shop or are you gona run a business.... we have a simular setup that is just for our amusment and fun......its the only way to do it....no more home shops for us.. sweet rides you got there
I know what you mean Man! I'm going from a 1 car garage to a 10 car shop! It's like walking into an empty football stadium and thinking how massive it is...untill it fills up!
Congrats on the new shop, looks great. Hope you do lots of awesome business and it's very successful for ya! Hope it doesn't make you too busy for your artwork, keep that coming too cheers, cab
Family hangout for the most part! I guess you could call it Home away from Home! And thanks for the kind words! Neal
Wow, awesome shop-congrats! That is great that your family is involved too. I am blessed that my twin brother & dad are into cars too. We split a shop 3 ways, & it makes it very affordable to work on our cars. Plus we can work all night without disturbing a soul. I would convert an office into a living quarters in a heartbeat! You could make it real comfy for reasonable, & kill 2 birds with one stone. Plus it makes it really easy to go piddle around for an hour or two, where if you have to drive over it's not so easy. Best of luck! Dan
Looks Like a nice place to hang out. Theres nothing better than being far enough away from the wife , So she cant stop you in the middle of something, to help her with something. How are you on cieling Hieght. Be able to get a lift in there? You did'nt forget the Fridg?
Never enough room but for now, it'll do! We are splitting it 4 ways, plus utilities, so it should work out great! Thanks Man! and thanks for all the encouragement! Much appreciated!
12 foot ceiling hieght...plus an I-beam down the middle, so I can pull the cab off the "A" by myself! Fridge is in the office! Damn I gotta walk an extra 20 feet for a cold one...Hell I need the exercise!
Congrats!! I know the feeling of finally having your own shop, and yours is HUGE compared to the one I'm building now. Enjoy!!
better paint those bricks white before you get too much stuff in there, will help to see everything in there
