Should be able to start on the Dodge Brothers soon.... Garage is almost done!

[bell]

I started on my '27 Dodge and quickly realized I needed to re-vamp my shop. So, that's what I've been doing for the past couple months.

Here's the mess I started with.

Some random pics along the way...

Ceiling...

All I have left to do is put all of my tools where they go, organize the shelves and the storage barn, build a mechanical room in the storage barn and hook up the furnace and air compressor...

Here's the "finished" product.

And, a couple pics if the Dodge in it's "new" home...

Very nice. I like the metal ceiling. If you don't mind me asking, how costly is that stuff?

Your Dodge looks super too. A great start.

I was wondering how the progress was going on the Dodge.

But, that revamp on the garage was a very good plan. Turned out great! [cl

Now get back on that Dodge. [P

Nice job on the garage, but forget that More of the Dodge!

Thanks fellas!

Bob, this metal was FREE!!!! We had a hail storm go through in June... The metal was on the roof of my garage and part of my house. I had them pile it up in the yard so I could re-use it. [cl
But, it is fairly inexpensive. Around here, it is under $2 a foot and covers 3' (width).

Here's what I did a couple months ago...

I built the carport a couple years ago, to have a place to store my tractors... I used some of the metal to close it in and bought new for the front.

Needed a doorway...

That's an awesome shop you got now, but if I may make one suggestion. Get rid of them curly lights, there a fire hazard, when they burn out they tend to burn up. Also if one breaks you've got a hazmat zone. Very toxic.

Thanks guys! I'm WAY past ready to work on the Dodge. I've been (seems like) all summer on the remodel. Almost done now though. The furnace should be going in sometime in the next week and most of my tools are put away.

roddguy, I have never heard that. I have them in every light fixture on the place and have been using them since they came out. Even more of a hazmat zone than the full size (8') flourescent bulbs like I used to have in the shop? Looks like I need to do some research...
