Pics of my workspace...Mega Mancave!!

**Dan B.** · 08-04-2011, 09:02 AM

Just finished the garage last year. It was built a couple years ago but just poured all the concrete, wired it and the rest last summer. Then installed the Dannmar lift in May.

This is the main working side of the garage. It's 32'x48'. Just finished the lighting last week and need to tether up some of the wires. If anyone needs to put a vehicle in the air, just shoot me a PM! I have two lifts and like to wrench.

Here is the storage side. It's 20'x48'. Right now I have a '68 Mustang Convertible (289/auto), '69 GTO (400/4 speed w/ AC), '57 Fairlane (428CJ/4 speed) and a '88 T'Bird Sport Coupe. Also have my other Kubota in there.

Sweet garage Dan......looks like perfection to me.

Very similair to what I want. Where did you get the building from?

**Dan B.** · 08-04-2011, 09:20 AM

Designed it myself and had local Menonites build the shell.

Sweet!!! What are the dimensions?

**Dan B.** · 08-04-2011, 10:28 AM

52' wide by 48' deep. Three garage doors in front, one door in right side on outside wall and another garage door between the storage and work side. Also a mam door between each side.

None that I can put my hands on easily. They were taken after it was painted about six years ago and now its covered in dust from setting for about four years.

I'm jelly.

**95riosnake** · 08-04-2011, 05:15 PM

I would be a happy man with a garage that size, I can't even express how jealous I am.

**SAC81** · 08-04-2011, 04:15 PM

Me too- very, very nice workspace. I really need someplace that I can actually work- my little two car garage in just not cutting it anymore.

**Dan B.** · 08-04-2011, 04:48 PM

Wow.......thanks guys. I'm in awe of how nicely it turned out myself. Its just a nice ace to kick back.......next year I'll have a flat screen in it!

**torqueboxer** · 08-04-2011, 07:07 PM

How are you heating it?

**Dan B.** · 08-04-2011, 07:19 PM

I was going to do radiant flloor heat. If it were a daily working business I would have. But since its just a hobby shop I went with a mobile home furnace that was givwn to me but havnt hooked it up yet.

Last winter I used a couple turbo heaters and it worked great. I may have spent $200 on fuel all winter. It never went below 40. If I were going to work out there I'd fire up the heaters, warm it up to about 50 and could work in a light shirt.

Awesome garage! Consider me jealous as well!

Got any more pics of the cars that are covered?

**Dan B.** · 08-04-2011, 11:07 PM

The Fairlane isn't much to look at. Body is straight but needs painted. The driveline is impressive though. Ripping through the straight line Hurst four speed is sweet!

The Mustang has a great body but wimpy 289 is getting tossed. I have a 427/4 speed that will get dropped in this winter possibly.

The covered car is just a '88 T'Bird sport coupe. The price was right so I snagged it "just because". The interior is almost perfect and paint is great.

Wow very nice garage. I will have one similar one day, but for now I'm way jealous.

**Ares** · 08-06-2011, 12:23 AM

Nice garage.

Reminds me of the one I helped my dad redo. Was 32'x48', we built our own roof trusses with 4/12pitch. Built walls for 12' ceiling and was all clear span with zero support to get in way of floor.
