Photos of Our Completed Garage / Hangout

In the summer of 2009 my father purchased an abandoned building on the main road of our small West Michigan town. In the past, several different businesses resided here and was in terrible shape. It has been a long and frustrating several months but things are finally starting to come together.

This has always been a dream of my fathers, and mine, to have a place to both admire his automobiles as well as relax. Things are finally starting to come together.

Wow that man cave is awesome! I`ve got garage envy!

Did you design the place yourself?

holly crap! your father has got some nice cars. I would love to have a place like that to have everyone else`s cars in there to work on. Very nice.

Incredible hangout! The coolest thing about the pictures is the 6000` takeup reel that has been incorporated into the glass top table..

Spent 17 years in the theatre business.. so this jumped right out at me..

You guys should be quite proud of the `mancave`.

Wow! Very nice.

Wanna build me one?

**dickwitham** · 02-09-2010, 08:45 AM

Thank you everybody! I know myself, and my father, really appreciate it!

My father hired a interior designer that we have worked with before. I think he did a great job.

The film reel side table is one of my favorite pieces. The base is a brake rotor welded to other "junkyard" like parts.

We are both really proud of the `mancave` and how it has turned out. It was a frustrating journey, but in the end it exceeded both of our expectations. We are blessed.

Awesome place! I`m just wondering why the Mach1 is in w/the other cars? Is it a daily driver or does he have it as part of the collection? I`ve always wondered if those Machs would be worth some $$ in the future.

**Pats300zx** · 02-09-2010, 09:23 AM

WOW...that is amazing. Will your Dad adopt me?

**vberch** · 02-09-2010, 09:46 AM

What a great place to spend time with your father!!!!

Great job!

The Mach 1 is mine. I doubt they will every be worth much but I have owned it for two years now and rarely drive it. Now that I have the space to detail, I am going to focus my time on the Mach.

My father has two lifts at his home and considered bringing one of them down to the building; however, he is thinking that it might look out of place.
