Here's my Church/Garage. Driving by you would think it's just a old church building along side a State road. I have my office in the back corner for my business. So when I get wore out from working in the office it feels great to walk out into Hot Rod Heaven. LOL Hope you all like it. If your ever in the Cincinnati area you are welcome to stop in. Thanks, Rob Mullins
Here's the Barn behind my house. I put a station Island in for taking pictures of cars. It's a great feeling seeing my friends pull in just to get a good picture of whatever car they are playing with. Feel free to stop in anytime at take a picture of your Hot Rod. Future plans is to build a station building shed behind it.
No problem...the 3 smaller garage doors are 10x10 and the bigger garage door is 10x14 we designed it to put 4 post lifts in to stack cars.
30 x 44, 14 ft wall, 12 ft door. R19 insulated, 70K BTU furnace, pallet racking down the 44 ft wall, steel 10x4 ft bench. outlets every 4 feet on 20 amp circuits, 50 amp and 30 amp for welders, need a big compressor still. lot will accommodate a 44 x 90, zoned commercial / industrial, city cant touch me. 2 hours away from where I live now. working out of a suburb 2.5 car, bringing pieces of the car up to my house a few at a time to work on them. SHIT
I'm drooling over some of these! Some very cool collections of great stuff! Now mine needs to get finished!
I worked in one of those "old school" garages back when it was fairly new. In Wisconsin, those glass doors and huge windows in the office that let in lots of light, also let in a lot of heat in the summer and let it out in the winter. You couldn't see out of the windows in the winter because they frosted up. At the time they built these, fuel oil was .15 a gallon so heating costs weren't a problem but they never put a big enough furnace in to heat it up when you had vehicles going in and out. Of course they didn't have air conditioning, and only had a service door in back so you couldn't get any air flow. They probably use some type of insulated, heat reflecting glass today and you won't be opening them 50 times a day.

This is our garage/great room. Kathy and I have loved anything that is cars and gas related since we were kids (met her in 3rd grade, married her before I went into the service and we're still together) and have been collecting junk over 30 years. We wanted a room for our stuff and a place I could tinker on the cars when ever I had the time. We also bring our other cars in here to do winter cleaning and spring prep. It's our love and if any hamber's are in our area give us a heads up and we would love to meet you and share our junk with a beer of coarse.
One of my buddies garages, he let me pull in the coupe we were gettting ready to have a nast storm My garage,
Some great garages. Appears that the basic rule is still no matter how much room you have, it isn't enough.
The white one belongs to a partner, the red one is stored there. The red one was his father's and they SCCA raced the hell out of it in the 70s. It used to be candy tangerine with a black fogged ribbon down the side....pimptacular!
Still working on mine, but feel very blessed to have it and it's right outside my backdoor! Anxious to get it done so I can start moving forward with some of my projects!
I love this thread. Lots of cool garages, here's mine (my dads), It stays fairly clean, not very cool looking or anything, but it gets the job done. The camaro was COMPLETELY done in there except for the time it got media blasted. My car is next on the list, we will redo/paint it in there. Dang, our garage looks like a non functional one, need to start collecting old signs and buy some more harbor freight crap. Need a blast cabinet more than anything, and a parts cleaner.
This isn't really a garage, but it's my shop at my highschool. It's got 6 bays, 1 frame machine, 2 lifts, paint booth is outside, and a crap load of other stuff. Ahhh I wish I had this shop at my house. It's got 4 snap on loaded tool boxes, 3 millermatics, 2 arc welders and a tool room with everything you can imagine.
