Wow, some real nice setups out there! Here are a few pics of dads garage we have turned into our private shop since having it built in 2000. At 21"x26" it's a bit small, but it's as large as the city lot will allow. We just added a furnace last winter and we have more lights the an operating room.

Not much. But my son and I manage to build the ranchero in here. Put some cams and heads on his ot motorcycle. It’s warm in the winter and hot AF in the summer. Buts it’s mine and it suits me. Wish for more? You betcha. But Dad always said you can wish in one hand and shit in the other. Tell me what fills up faster. Soon to add a sink and some hot and cold water. I appreciate guys who build there stuff in small spaces with the bare minimum. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
That El Camino could be the one I bought new in 1964. Back then I got a cab over camper and I took off for the Worlds Fair in NY. The outfit drew a lot of attention, mostly questions how I built a camper in the back of a car. LOL Mine was a 327 4 speed as I recall. Another of those cars I wish I had kept.
Here’s mine half of it finished Sent from my iPhone www.speedoservice.com Should I rush your rush job or the rush job I was rushing when you rushed in?
Some really great work space's shown above. In the mid to late 1950s,my Dad let me use the weeds n bushes out back,some times sneak for a day into our 2 car,carport cover out front< we didn't have a garage. At least he did let me keep my car stuff out of site out back. By 1965,I had my own house n wife,I pick it for the big back yard ,plus new house had a real 1 car garage. Added a padio slab in the back 70s,an a the extra 2 car in the 90s. Now days the two car garage in back of house is main hotrod place, an one car space out front<but front is too full of shop stuff to fit a car any more. My older highschool hot rod"28A" I got running in 59, drove early 1960s ,still do,an my Son's 23 "T" Pandora takes up the rear 2 car space.
I tell people I'm a car guy because my shop is way bigger than my house. Todd Sent from my SM-N960U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not a great shop but it's what I've got. Ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag. Just had to turn down a screaming deal on a four foot kick shear because I've got no room for it. Took a week of reorganizing to make room for my brake lathe a few months ago. Notice the '31 coupe is sitting on the back of the '53 Chevy truck. Bigger shop would be nice, what I really want is more storage space. But this is enough space I earned my living for 20 years working in here.
Now thats the kind of shop I like to see.........one someone works in and has put out the time and effort to stock it with usable tools and usable machines to build usable cars.
