Garage Pics- Need Ideas

429mustang · 03-18-2004, 02:35 PM

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.

This might give you some ideas

It is from a while back but a really cool shop with pics.

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

This should give you a few ideas. It doesn't get any more badass than this:

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?

hey that was my garage......
if you want to see a few more pics there are some of my cars in the garage in my media. (off to the left under my avaitar)

that corvette garage is bad ***. i wonder how much weather use that actually sees. mine has snow and salt covered cars coming in and out every night during the winter months. (definatley not the mustangs though, well only the 96gt)

if anyone has any questions about that lift please feel free to ask.

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."

No inside scoop. He actually went to museums, as this was modeled after an ORIGINAL.

Honey, gotta work on the car... Yeah, 5 years just to get the drafting of the blueprints done!
