Garage Pics- Need Ideas
I'm getting a house within a month or so (in contract) and I'm gona insulate/drywall the walls/ceiling and I'm looking for some ideas to make it badass. I'll have a T.V./Stereo and plenty of outlets and lighting. I want to make a big workbench/shelving and possibly some kind of drive-on ramps to bring the whole car up a few feet. Any ideas/pics would be appreciated. Also, anyone have an idea on how much a decent ventilation system would cost?

I purchased and installed a 26 gallon Ingersoll-Rand compressor (the good old oil pump kind!) in my basement and then ran the hose out through the band board and into the garage. From there, I installed a nice hose hanger with 75' of air hose. Works great and keeps my garage as spacious as possible.
I'll get some pics later and post them. E

Here is another one. But, nobody could figure out how it was done. If you want to raise a car this might work.

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is without a doubt the most impressive set up I have ever seen. A lot of thought went into that garage. Where do they keep the floor buffer and wax?

Build a grage like my friend. It makes working on his GT40 easier, not like he is having a lot of work building it FROM SCRATCH!! (no kit, but hand made every part!).

OMG! He's building a GT40 from scratch!?!?! How cool is that? You guys that work for Ford must get some serious inside info!
What a thrill that must be to tell the wife..."Honey, I'll be out in the garage for a while..gotta get some more work done on the GT40." E
