I finally will have some room to work. Currently I have a single car that I have been working out of. The new one is a 30x40 that is in progress. A few weeks ago I had an excavating company level out an area. Last week the shop went up. The door was on back order so it will be installed in a day or two. I don't know how well these pictures are, but here they are anyway.

Heat during the summer and cooling during the winter. I am planning on insulating which will help the extremes. The ceiling is 12', but a lift is not in the budget.

I am looking forward to having the room, so I won't have to switch it up going from one project to another.

At least on a good level floor, quality jack stands and a good crawler will make projects so much easier!

Time to fill it with Corvettes.

30x40 should fit four comfortably, six if you pack 'em

Hell, I'd be happy with a space where I didn't have to pull the C4 out everytime i wanted to do something,.

Tyler would probably just cover the bar up with Corvette parts like I did to my bar.

I may convert the house garage to a gameroom, or a bedroom. The way the house was built you wouldn't be able to tell that it was a garage at one point.

The door is on and the concrete is going in on Friday. I am looking forward to having an air compressor and a parts washer. The first project is probably the motorcycle, or at least taking it apart since I will have the room.

Still making progress. The electric is almost done. I am hoping to be done within the next two weeks. The interior metal is arriving Wednesday.

Yes, I haven't installed it yet. The open double space in the panel on the left is where the breaker will be. I am looking at a 60gal from Quincy.
