Proper garage for Mopars - mine

[MyMopar]

Well I finally got around to cleaning and organizing my garage after the move. It only took me 4 months to get around to it.  I had to add 3 8' strip lights and I need to add 2 more and then I can call it done. I worked on it for 10 hours yesterday, emptied 10 cardboard boxes and a trash bin full of garbage.  It is so much nicer to be able to walk around in and find tools quicker too. For your viewing pleasure, my garage:




Up in the loft, my "man room"


Everything picked up and packed away:


And of course the car shots:

Nice set up.
Inventory's not bad either.

[Telvis]

Man, I'm jealous.

[Sweet T]

Looks good, I'm taking advantage of the Charger being at the shop and am doing mine right now.....well when I'm not on the computer.  I figure a mopar deserves a nice place to rest.

[Shakey]

Very cool garage.

You are where I want to be in 10 years - complete with a Charger/Challenger combo in the two bay.

How awesome is your place? All you need is a pool table up in the "man room" and your wife can have the house all to herself - she'll never see you again.

That is an outstanding place - especially the framed vintage Mopar advertisments hanging on the wall. Great finishing touches.

I've had those ads and other signage for a long time with no real good place to put them.  Now I finally do and I can't tell you how motivated and inspired a nice clean garage makes me.  No more tripping over stuff and looking around for tools.

It actually was a long time coming to get this done and I'm glad I did.  I'll be restoring the Charger now and using the Challenger as my crusier.  Then when the Charger is done, it will be the Challengers turn and then ?

A pool table would be cool, but too much weight up top.  I'll just resort to a nicely stocked fridge, a TV, my computer with interent access and my MP3's providing endless music entertainment.  Thanks again for the comments, just wanted to share and hopefully inspire some others like I was.

[dodgecharger-fan]

Very nice setup!


Psst... If I'm not mistaken, the stars should be at top left when hanging old glory that way.

I think your right on the flag hanging. I Am sure that some of our Military brothers and Sisters will know for sure.

But on a different note that garage is awesome. I wish I had your room and detached from the house so the wife could stop complaning about the smell when I'm cleaning or painting. that is great.

very nice

[6pkrunner]

Wow - very nice setup - congrats.

[Charger_Fan]

Great looking garage.
Is that kind of an open storage area to the left there? It looks a bit different than the rest.

[Guns N Rotors]

MyMopar,

Thats a great garage. Very nice!

If I may...I'd like to make a suggestion though.

Hang fire extinguishers so that you are never
more than 20' away from one.

Trust me on this. It's cheap insurance.

[mustanghater]

nice setup you got there. I like the loft idea so you can hide away from people.

[MyMopar]

Dodgecharger-fan, good call on the flag.  I'll have to get my ladder out and fix that ASAP as I don't want to disrespect old glory.  I think it is cool how all you guys can pick up on different things, that is why I share, to get more input.

As far as the fire extinguisher go, I do have 2 in there now, one on each side.  I saw on Spike TV (oneof the car shows) that a company made FE's that were refillable with some special type of liquid and charged with your air compresser somehow. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called.  The really cool thing is that whatever you spray WON'T relight.  They sprayed a rag that was on fire with the stuff then afterwards tried to relight it with a torch and it wouldn't light. Now that's the type of stuff I want around.

I do have storage off the loft area.  I plan to lay out my doors, hood, fenders, trim, etc.. in that area while I do work to various parts of the car.  This way I can keep everything better organized and all in the same spot.   

I still have to run the air lines through the wall where my compressor is, but for now I will have to drag the hose around. Thanks again for the comments and suggestions.

I FOUND IT!  The fire extinguisher I was talking about.  Here is the info:  You know the product is impressive when it is rated for Class D also, that is fire involving metals; magnesium, aluminum, & titanium.

And I'm Canadian!

I thought I was all set when we moved into this house with a two car garage. Now, I wish I had the extra space to have some of the areas that you've set up. Very nice work and great planning.
