Here's the garage that I rent in the garden apartment complex that I live in...it isn't much, but I can get a car nosed in enough that I can get under the hood and do side jobs

 

 

Nice. That is organized well for the space you have. Its too bad GM doesn't make a folding Y pipe for easier storage

 

Nice toolbox for sure, now get those stickers off from it!!!

 

They did, they put em on 4th gen F-bodies.

Bet that's a first, a NJ mechanic w/. a pair of bolt cutters. :nunchuk1:

 

That's actually a requirement to open some hoods or to remove the spare tire silly! Don't you know anything?

BTW Billy were you drinking in the garage and playing with the camera again?

Nice little deal you got there.

 

Mine would just be a picture of some rocks.LOL. I went from a 2.5 car garage with a storage room to nothing with my new house. Eventually I will get me a nice shop built.

 

Whew...finally got a chance to get back on the computer (at work now)....a big storm ravaged my area, my town is actually at the top of the list of worst hit, the kids probably won't have school all week. My power was out, but was restored yesterday, but we still don't have heat and hot water...maybe we will tonight Been staying at the in-law's the last few days...it's not so bad actually, my mother-in-law has made me great lunches the past few days

Anyway, a lot of gret feedback but I'm the only one posting pics here...let's see what ya got guys, even if it's a rocky driveway

Thanks man...yea, that y-pipe is a PITA...it's for sale btw, but you'll have to come and get it because I have no idea how I'd ship that and insure that it won't get damaged.

Thanks Joe If you look closely, you'll notice that only the Craftsman boxes on either side of the SnapOn box have stickers on them. The SnapOn box only has a few magnets on it...oh yea and my ASE Master and Advance Engine Performance plaques, as well as my Toyota Master Diagnostic Tech plaque, but I've taken them off and put them back on before That box is way too expensive to sticker up...but the Craftsman boxes, what the heck

It's a prerequisite when you wrench in NJ Good for getting your truck out of the impound yard, and it makes a nice weapon... :nunchuk1: And, as Vince mentioned, I've gotten more than one siezed spare tire out with those bolt cutters


LOL, nah I was sober, I take much better pictures when I'm drunk Thanks Vince...I'll be swapping my trans with my truck parked in a space in the parking lot (once I pay it off and get it ). I plan to stalk the lot until a space across from my garage opens up then park the truck in it (it still moves a little when the truck is cold). Those spaces get open and taken constantly...just gotta time it right

Someone told me that the apartment above my garage is currently empty...it would be great to get the trans before the apartment gets rented so I can use my air compressor and not disturb anybody that would complain If it does get rented, I'll just have to introduce myself to the new neighbors and "charm" them into not minding the noise

Well keep us updated when construction on the shop begins

 

This isn't mine, it's the old man's, but it's where I keep most of my tools and where most of my wrenching is done. It's a 38 by 70 foot quonset, or just an archwall structure if the word quonset is new to some folks. It used to have a divider wall halfway back to section off the shop from the cold storage. But when it was built they screwed up and built the divider wall the same height as the end walls, so it was pushing the roof up in the center and rolling the foundation out. We just got the cement floor in the back this winter. It was just dirt before. The loft is good for storing parts out of the way, and there's a steel work bench and a set of old kitchen cabinets underneath. Old filing cabinets are also good for storing tools. It's heated with an old oil furnace, which keeps on going even when we feed it used crankcase oil, paint thinner, gas, you name it! Haha, a proper waste oil furnace will replace it once it finally dies. The inner walls used to be boarded with cheap wallboard, but now it's corrogated steel which give a bit better peace of mind when we're grinding, welding, and cutting stuff. We've got a chop saw, power hacksaw, big and little bench grinders, vice, drill press, cutting torch, and a Lincoln 225 MIG, which is a bit too big for bodywork but great fot the farm stuff. The 50 ton hydraulic press is homemade. Both the overhead doors are 19 feet wide and 14 feet tall, and both are power. The older one used to be opened with a chainfall, but Pa adapted a motor from a B-25 bomber's bombbay hatch! The thing in the third picture is a Flexicoil 2320 airtank, for you non farmers. It holds the grain and granular fertilizer (which is piled underneath) before it gets blown with two huge hydraulic fans to the disc drill, which puts it in the ground. Pretty cool stuff. You can also see a sliver of the Olds! So ya, wrote a book, but I love the shop!
