My Garage,

Starts today, 06-12-06.

It will be 28' deep, and 26' wide, initially with a 10' wide 28' deep slab added later for more room.
I will have a two post clear floor lift in the left bay.
I already have a new trans jack, and some 6' jackstands.
I hope to do custom SVX hot rodding and mantainance.
If finances permit an exhaust tubing bender.
I posted this in the Mod Mania Forum, because this is where my fellow gearheads hang out.
Wish me luck.
More later, Tom.

Way to go Tom. Can't wait to get the 'Road Demon' there to do a motor swap and some other goodies. Have you picked out a spot for the asti dispensing unit yet?

I'm getting a 11,000 pound asymetric clear floor from Advanced Auto Parts, part # MTP-11A for $2550 installed!
I just have to run the 220.
I can have them bolt it in thirty days after I have the concrete poured.
And hopefully that gets done tomorrow!

My lift consists of concrete blocks and pieces of scrap wood. It works albeit a little wobbly

Actually, we are building this in the garden, you should see the rest of the yard....


The ground there is harder than third grade on an Arkansas politician!

Tom,

You have shown within various threads that without doubt you have your head screwed on and are obviously not afraid of hard work. You will be doing that which you enjoy and luck is not an issue. The ingredients are there. Stick with it.

Sincerely, Trevor *<)
