Anyone want to share some pics of their garages?
Here's some pics of my garage what I completed in the last year. Overall size is 52' wide and 48' deep with 12' ceiling on big side.

The lift is a Dannmar 10ACX. The other lift in front of the little Kubota is a Snap On.....good for tires, wheels, and paint....but that's about it.

This is the storage side of the garage. Under the cover is a 1988 T-Bird Sport Coupe (5.0L/AOD), ahead of that is a 1968 Mustang Convertible (289/Auto), the green car is a '69 GTO (400/4speed) and beside the Kubota is a '57 Fairlane (428CJ/4 speed). My wife's '90 Mustang Vert is now where the Kubota sits.

That is a very nice setup! Before I had kids, I had planned on building myself a 60x120 shop with an upstairs living quarters. Two lifts, and a pit in the garage.....one day I'll have it. My two boys wouldn't mind it lol.

You guys are lucky! When I lived at home on the farm I worked on my cars in my Dad's pole barn.
Now I live in town and have a 2 car garage crammed full of my Mustang, Tbird, two lawnmowers, etc. :( It sucks. Someday I hope to have a bigger building with a lift, etc.

Definitly not a professional set up here, but I do like that its all open, wish I had a bit more height like some of you guys do as I want a lift. The entire area above my garage is nothing but open storage so maybe someday I can open it up some and get one.

you could always get a scissor lift.. they come in handy and are moveable.. most of them lift about 3ft

Yeah I have thought about putting up a little shed for lawnmower, weedeater, chainsaws, etc.
You can see my garage in the background in this pic. My house/garage was built in the early '50's. My 'bird barely fits lengthwise and you have to be very careful with either car when pulling in so you don't rub the mirrors on the door frames. What's puzzling to me is that any 1950's car had to be, uh, "girthy" compared to either of my cars. It had to be a even tighter fit back then...

If I tinker I have to take the car either to my Dad's pole barn or my uncles place...which sucks because all my tools and stuff are in my garage. And I hate to impose on them when they have their own projects going on.

Nothing special, 20X28 plus a 10X12 addition. Plenty of room to work on one car. Though it's not huge I still appreciate it, because I grew up in a house with no garage and had to work outside until I bought this house. I've got it fully equipped with everything except a hoist. When I sell this house and buy a new one the garage will be a big factor in the decision process - if the new house has a garage it must be at least 24X24 and if not, it must be on a piece of land big and flat enough to build one. I'm actually thinking I'd rather build my own, because I could build it with 12' ceilings and could therefore have a hoist :hick:

That Dannmar is worth its weight in gold!! I've had the T-chicken up on it the last three evenings poking around and cleaning off rusty scale to prep it for sealer. Also makes working on ANYTHING underneath a joy rather than a c. Heck,once I put my wife's car on it just to put a plug in the tire!
Andnote on ceiling height...go about 12'6". A lot of lifts are in the 142" to 145" height ranges. That extra couple inches will make or break you.....just look at my ceiling over the lift. Had to open her up since I ended up buying a bigger lift than I originally planned. I need to get that closedback up before winter........

Here's my standard 19' x 23' tract home, 2-car. Small but efficient! I've built many a hot rod in here, from the ground up. Since these photos were taken I've added a bunch more machine tools so it's getting really tight in there! The last pic has the space filled with my latest project. 1927 Ford Model T roadster. It'll be powered by a turbo'd 2.3/T5 combo driven through an 8" Maverick rearend. The frame will be Z'd with a track nose and it'll sit about 4" off the ground. Should be a blast! I know it looks a little rough, but believe me...............I've started with worse!

Thanks. The Barrel Blaster has been great. I've owned it for like 15 years. It was one of the first ones, so I updated it with the foot pedal and the new window when they came out. It's roomy enough to blast wheels, intakes, heads and stuff. Sometimes you have to be creative and move your work around to get everything if you're working on a big piece. It doesn't leak, and it hooks right up to a shopvac. You might get a little sand on the floor when you open the door, but nothing to worry about.
The guy builds them down in Texas with his Father. Great guy. Mopar nut if I remember correctly.
