Default Pics of my friends Garage






Here are a few updated pics of my friend Jims garage he is building in his back yard. His next step is to restore the pumps. He is painting some cool Mopar logos on the walls.

I agree too. More information is now required after showing Jim's garage to us all.
Thanks for the pics. Leigh

My first thought was the garage is a minature scale model since it was too perfect and the figure through the window looked fake in the first two pictures

Now I see the figure is fake but the garage is real.

Nice Jack.

What's going to be upstairs? Inlaw apartment? Storage?

Jeff:

Your friend's garage is spectacular. BTW, those are old Wayne 60 gas pumps he has out front. I've got a restored on in my office.
