1 bay wide by 2 deep, doors both ends, building facing south, great breezes with both doors open, full floor drain system, 2 post lift, even has an undercarriage wash system built into the concrete floor, concrete walls

S/S machine is wet/dry vac, 195* heated extractor system w/6 gal capacity
it has 4-s/s 3 gallon dispensors and hoses with sprayers, even has a wax applicator spray gun, 2 air lines, 1 with blower nozzle, air used for air rotary shampooer, a jitterbug wax remover and a H/F D/A.

oh yea...the chair is a billet aluminum captains chair from a jet cockpit, modified to roll (creeper wheels), it swivels, moves forward and back, side to side and even reclines
 
I use our family pole barn (I'll have to get pics later). It's a 40'x60' barn with overhead doors on oposite ends, that are offset one way to give us more parking room on the other side. It has a 2 post car lift, a 40'x8' mesanine (<-- that might not be spelled right...) for storage, and a 10'x5' pallet rack for storage. I have 2 of the shelves filled up with crates and boxes of AG goodies.

We have heaters where just installed last week that are waiting for the propaine to show up. Next up is a bathroom install with a water heater (the water back there is COLD!).

It's a nice space for storing the cars, bikes, tracktor, and all that stuff. It also rocks as a detailing area!

This is the only pic I have right now of my garage, and it is about a year old.

Taken standing in the third bay facing the work bay (where my orange truck is). The work bay is the largest with plenty of room for open doors and still get around it. It is actually big enough for my dad to work on his 4-door LWB dually in it.

The 442 belongs to a buddy of mine. We were getting ready for a show the next day.

Are the candles for mood lighting or for karma to be on with the car

I saw some dumb ass trade one of these in as cash for clunkers and it was in prestine condition everybody was blown away that the car was going to be destroyed. Here's your sign . Garage looks awesome Dalton
 
Here's a few pics of one of my garages. The other one has so much junk in it you can barely get to the cars. I always use this one for detailing. It has more room and the best lighting. Plus there's a sink, fridge, stove and better sounding music if my wife makes me sleep in the garage.

Impressions...your setup is awesome and that cart is sweet but I am really jealous of that chair!!!

Gary you have my 2 most favorite cars ever produced I envy you and that garage is sweet!!!!
 
Here is some shots of my stash. My wife went to visit family in Seattle and took our good camera. These pics aren't the best. They were taken with my cell phone... sorry....

Pic 1:

I store all of my spray bottles in portable caddies on this shelf when not in use. My PC 7424XP is kept in the black and grey tool box. And my Griots Garage 3" polisher is kept in the red and black rolling seat/tool chest at the bottom.

Otherwise there is just some extra products I don't use much (black wow, some Stoner stuff, heavy duty glass polish), and some extra bottles etc.

The white drawers on the left store all of my MF towels, terry towels, and a bulk of my surgical towels.

This where I keep extra surgical towels on top (I work at a hospital…..these come…..cheap…). I detail on my days off.

There is an old wash mitt on top, I use grout sponges now. Top drawer is for car washing stuff. Second drawer is all pads. Third drawer is yet more surgical towels.

Beautiful car! I actually owned an 86 442 for about 7 years. Ended up having to replace the tranny, and then once I did that the motor blew. With the rough winters we have here it was rotting away on me so I ended up selling it to a guy who wanted to restore it.

It's a shame cause I loved that car!
 
I have some photos at home so I'll post them later on!! :xyxthumbs:
 
OK, while mine may not be as fancy and well organized as some, here it is!
