We can't drive past each other's houses and get a peek, so..... What would we see from the street? Me first.....

'Glass '34 Ford coupe on the left, '30 Ford Town Sedan on the right.

I know this can be a fun thread, but keep in mind that anyone can look at these threads. Just be wary of not divulging your exact location in the pics or revealing stuff that you dont want to be shown.
Dont need some criminal type casing the joint through our website.

Me, I have nothing worth stealing, so here you are.....lol

When I bought the house I used to do some restoration on old Corvettes. The house had a 3 car garage and I had it expanded out to 5, but can put 6 in it if one is on the lift. The concrete pour was done for the 9,000#/27,000#, clear-floor, truck lift and there is 12-1/2' of headroom. I later added the loft for storing parts. I can put ~15 cars in the driveway.

There is 230 volt 30-amp service for the compressor, the lift, and an arc welder. The machine is a CNC/power-feed/manual mill/drill/lathe with digital read-out.

You can't compare a Delorean with a Pantara. A Delorean was basically transportation where as a Pantera was a more of a fast sports car. A better comparison for a Pantera would be a Jag, Ferrari, Lambo, or possible a de-tuned GT40 with better seating. It never had the distinction of being a rich mans toy nor was it ever as sophisticated as some of the Euro cars. It definitely could be made to go fast!

You ALL have more room, and better working conditions than I have! I have a very tight, small one car garage, and a old Costco canopy in the backyard that serves as my work area all year round. I put down gravel and plywood for a floor in the canopy to make it more comfortable to work on. I've built two cars from the ground up in the canopy, and it's a challenge, but I get it done.
Just barely enough room to walk around my tiny car! The Austin is 12' long and 4.5' wide, so you can see how tight it is!


Built it and the Falcon in this space. A 10'x20' canopy, including shooting epoxy primer in January! Had to turn the heat off to spray, then back on to dry it!:

You have all my respect! I am trying to figure out how to get some room for my son's car and I see how you have done it and I am humbled. Your passion for this hobby is great, you skills are endless and you have all my respect!
