I subscribe to a number of Auto Mags and one thing I always get a kick out of is seeing the garage that some of these cool cars come out of. Sometimes they are like a professional shop but often they are small cramped and crowed with parts and tools. A lot of times the walls are covered with memorabilia. Show me your little slice of heaven. This is mine, this is where I put my '66 together.

That is a pretty well outfitted hobby shop. Edit: Here are the pics of my work shop. Just a modest two car garage but I am working on slowly converting it into a well outfitted shop as money allows. My work space. I have a couple of fold out tables I use too.  The "other side". Hopefully in the next couple of months we will be purchasing a storage shed so most of this stuff and all the spare sheet metal will go in there. That should free up some more room.  My latest addition, a real honest to god work bench with a vise. You don't know how long I have wanted this but other things always took priority. My wife finally surprised me with this a couple of weeks ago. I added the vice two days ago and as far as I am concerned, its the greatest thing since sliced bread.  The parts pile gets organized. I think that was the real motivation for my wife buying the work bench and the shelves. She was tired of the garage always looking like a tornado hit it.   Next on my list is to buy a welder, install some more lighting, a beer fridge and paint the floor. I am looking at that new por15 garage floor refinishing kit and everything I have read looks promising. Once done I will be a lot closer to being ready to get serious with the '67 resto. --louis |

Here's out it looks full and I also have a fenced in side yard that is concrete 18ft. x 36ft. approximately. I have room for my future projects there. Hopefully some day I will be able to fund them.

Dogs and garages just seem to go together. This is Bear, my year old Dachshund/Maltese mix. He decided to pay me a visit in the garage while I was working tonight. My wife's Golden wouldn't bother unless there was food involved.   "Hey, is that a frenchfry?"  |

This is mine as of yesterday! The garage was only put up over the weekend while we were away at the Euro Finals!   I put the bug in there as soon as I could! Its a shame we're moving otherwise it would be all painted first! |
