Garage/Shop pictures

I finally got around to assembling some furniture. It's been sitting in cartons in my other garage since 08/05.

I also hung a few pictures from the GM Photo Store I framed up. I still have a couple more to hang.

The building is 20 years old. It use to have and open attic. I got tired of the dust from our summer monsoon storms. I enclosed it last summer and laid down Lock-tile flooring. Two coats of Andeck CLEARCOAT 44 was applied. It makes the dovetail joint seams watertight.

The interior dimensions are 18'Wx28'Dx9'H

This is actually three pictures side by side. The woman in the middle frame is checking pistons on an Oldsmobile assembley line



Doctor Oldsmobile and Wind Tunnel Waldo



This is the building before the remodeling. It had an open attic.
I did most of the work on the gold 442 when it was resurrected in 12/03 after 18 years of garage storage. At that time my tool box was an Edelbrock manifold cardboard box! (true)
