Before and after garage pics

I posted this before but it was lost during the last restore. I actually added a 3rd bench since then.

This is my first garage so I put into place all the things I had been thinking about while dreaming of owning one.

Before

After

Finally got some tunes. I can also finally start going through all my tools and fill up the pegboard.

Diamond plate rules! LOL

Very nice improvement! Yeah those hackers really suck. Lots of cool stuff

It must be nice to have a lathe and a press.

Nice garage.

Hey I didn't notice before what are those trophies from the 3rd pic down from?

tjm01 · 08-23-04, 02:17

Thank you.

Trophies are from my first season showing my car. I entered 4 shows and placed 3 times. Not bad for a rookie.

Tom,

Wow - FLOOR to ceiling peg-boards!! I only put mine on the upper half of the walls.

BTW, I found something neat @ Lowe's for the pegboard - can't see if you're using them or not in the pics, but they are "pegboard anchors". They go over the hook on the peg and hold it in place so that when you remove whatever's hanging - you don't dislodge the hook also.

If you look in the second picture you can see what it goes in. Here is a link to a better picture of it.

Thanks guys. It's a 2v and I'm putting a 2.3L whipple blower on a custom intake.

Norah - I added more pegboard this past weekend.

I'm also going to mount a 10" grinding wheel to the wall instead of mounting it on a bench. I still haven't really figured out how I'm going to do it, but I'm working on it.

I'm also working on some cabinet space next to the bench, that to will be mounted to the wall. I want to keep all my detailing towels and such in that.

Wow...that has to be one of the best garage/shops I have ever seen. It isn't fancy, but it looks exceptionally functional. A well-organized, clean workspace is vital to getting work done efficiently. It looks like your car show competitors will be in for some tough times.

BTW, how do you like your Milwaukee cordless impact wrench?
