I've actually drawn mine up, but can't find the pic.

It's a 3 car wide garage 2 cars deep with an L off the right side.
left stall is for parking Durango
Middle stall has 2 post lift (race car on top & street car underneath)
3rd bay is tools and workbench, etc...
L is restroom, shower, and a small office area.
The back wall of the 2 left most bays is commercial shelving floor to ceiling (12 feet high) for parts storage, etc...

The overall look is to mimic a late 40's early 50's gas station - minus the sign.

I wouldn't really care for a paintbooth or dyno
Expensive, take up lots of space and how often are you gonna use those?

The lift, blaster cabinet and parts washer are on the list (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
More metal fabbing tools are nice (band saw, lathe, mill, tube bender/notcher)
Big ass compressor
Set of cornerweight scales is sweet too...

Arrrgggghhh... I need a winning lotto ticket (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Enough room for 4 cars, a lift, compressor, oil drain tank, and an expert 914 mechanic...

Well, lots of cool cars, of course. And also...

  • Two of every snap-on tool
  • two-post lift
  • large press
  • large metal workbench(s)
  • stainless cabinetry
  • air, 115v, and 220v every 15 feet
  • an overhead hoist on a beam w/ rollers
  • white floors, walls, ceiling, and lots of bright lights
  • lathe
  • milling machine
  • surface grinder
  • lots of machine tooling
  • 72" belt grinder
  • toolbit grinder
  • TIG welder
  • tire changer
  • tube bender and fishmouth notcher
  • car-washing station on a pad on the side


That's a start anyway. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
