History Traditional garage

My 24 x 30 shop is only traditional in the sense that I love tools and equipment, and I love building shit.

 

House and garage built in 1953. This is part of my mess.

 

Now THAT is a bad ASS garage!

Nawwww....IF you gonna be a welder........ya gotta be tough (or stupid!)
I still have a scar (the size of a quarter) where a hot ball of slag popped off and stuck right on top of the tongue of my LEATHER boot! I bet I set a record taking off a boot. I was standing on a 8" beam inside a submarine ballast tank at the time. Heckuva balancing act!

 

HERE'S WHERE I HIDE! SMALL BUT EFECTIVE!

 

How about some from the inside

 

it's nice to finally have room. There is even an empty spot since the T coupe went away. 64 Caddy, 65 V8vair, 1917roadster pickup ( behind the Corvair and next to the Corvair ) and a radical custom 51 fleetline on the lift. Our storage is on the upstairs landing

 

That's a nice space! I like garages that look like they were old when the cars were new. The cars come and go and leave little pieces behind, but the garage is still there.

Even though I'm in hot south Texas, an old iron wood stove is on my wishlist for my dream space too.

 

Thanks y'all, you've inspired me to clean up my shop & get on with my next project. Same garage after the last 6 months of work.

 

You removed the sheetrock?

 

haha!

Based on the timestamp on the second photo, I think he put sheetrock on!

 

My garage with 1939 Fords and various junk.

 

Haha, probably so. Now hurry up and get all those goodies back on the walls.

 

I have a dream of one day squeezing my 54 chevy in here, but you can see my 2 (compact) car garage is pretty cramped so...... someday.

 

Lol, sorry about that, reverse the pictures.

 

Most of the stuff is back on the walls.

 

Today making a mess and having fun.

 

I think my 26 Dodge Brothers truck will fit much better.
