Believe it or not I put both cars in here every night with just enough room for me to open the driver side door to get out.

And the secret to keeping the garage clean is a shed in the backyard. Best $800 I have ever spent!!!

I have that same workbench..... great for a smaller garage and Sears puts them on sale all the time. Just don't put anything wet on the surface or the board will suck it up and swell.

Here's my garage pre-epoxy, just finished the first etching pass...





Here it is finished and ready to dry for the next few days!







Never took some pictures of just the shelving I put up but you can see it in this picture...



And in the back by the door...





Here is my Sears work bench and a peg-board that I just mounted to the cinder block wall.... I also built some shelving in that half-ass closet but you can't see but two shelves of it. There's 4 total shelves, at least I found a way to make use of that damn wasted space!!



Oh and also...don't spill brake fluid on the epoxy....

I'm loving those Sears workbenches... I think I need one!

ORedRoc4 - You're giving me motivation to do something more with my garage. Mine is about the same size and I was plain out convinced that I could do nothing more than park two cars in it. But you laid it out pretty simple and are still able to get two cars in/out. Props!!

I did it all at once! Took me a full 2 days or one weekend. Only because it takes a little while to let the concrete dry and let all the moisture evaporate out of it before you seal it with the eopxy.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get a dyno and hone my skills on my own terms. My ultimate goal is to have a speed shop.

The shop is 40x30 and it sits on my parents property. My dad said if I bought a dyno it could go in the shop.

My day job is really starting to cramp my style though!! All I can think about is getting to the garage and playing on the dyno!

Thanks man. I think my dad is waiting for me to get pissed enough to buy him a shed. Nothing irritates me more than building a 40x30 shop to work on cars and then filling it with lawn equipment and a snowblower.

I like the color of your truck. It gets your attention without burning your eyes the way yellow does. IMO
