Title: Decorating the shop - New additions
Post by: blown motor on March 20, 2020, 10:57:18 AM
As you know last summer I had a shop renovation. This winter I've been working at decorating it. This is what I have so far.

It's in the last picture. It's 8' long. my previous one was 16' and at least 10' of that was covered with stuff and never got used. The vice and grinder are on the bottom shelf and get moved up top when I need them, which isn't very often. I don't tear cars apart or rebuild engines so needs aren't as great as some people's.
It's about 35 x 46. My last shop was dirty, dusty and cold. I'm devoted to not letting that happen again.

@blown motor (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/blown-motor_52) I hear that! But i always have something to tinker with. That place looks to nice to get all messy.   And that was more of a joke question, With cars that nice i don't like doing any thing much around them.  :twothumbsup:

Man, you have lots of space to fill yet.
You have a good start, but it might take a year to fill up all that wall space.
It's nice having hobbies to keep us all busy and right now having a hobby will keep us all from going stir crazy.
Your a very lucky guy to have what you have.  Keep at it.

@700 AKN (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/700-akn_596)  Ray, I'm thinking of a banner to go above the oil cans and one way sign. Also, I want to fill the area above the work bench, compressor and door with road signs. I think it will take about 15. I have three so far but I won't put any up until I have a bunch just so I can figure out the arrangement. I doubt I'll ever fill the rest of the space, that's a lot of wall and everything costs money. The flags worked out great because I covered a lot of area for a few dollars.
I'm open to anyone's decorating ideas.

Post by: blown motor on June 11, 2020, 04:44:11 PM
I thought I'd give an update on my decorating progress. The oil can collection is coming along nicely. I've been having good luck with the Chryco cans lately and even found another Autopar can. The traffic light went up a couple weeks ago. The signs went up today.

Really nice size garage you have.  I wish i had more wall space to hang stuff. I like the oil can collection ... and the grille and headlights on the wall.  It also amazes me to see how big the new Challengers are when sitting next to the old ones.  Nice bunch of cars you have.  Love the '68 Chargers. Very cool.

The decorating continues. The Champion catalogs above the window and the Chryco Parts centre are new. So is the banner above the oil cans.

Love the oil can collection.  Did you build the shelf that they are on?  Great garage!

Black Betty's looking good as usual I see. I'll try to give some more thought to that acceleration issue, Murray. Be safe   :cheers:

Wow, I haven't been on this post in a year and half. A buddy came over this morning and we hung the fibreglass hood from my Charger.

I finally unpacked and hung all the little metal signs on the cross support.
