Give me the barka lounger and a bed I would sleep in that garage.
My wife would probably let me to just to get rid of me.
That is sweet.
And the car is not bad either.
Very very nice.
:cheers:

Wow! I would sleep in there, if I had that garage!

Did you see the '62/Z06 hybrid? Geez... It's certainly one of the best, if not the best, I've ever seen!

That's a dream garage, though it looks too sanitary. Does your friend do any wrenchin' in there?

I'd be afraid to do any car work in there. Is there a "workshop garage" somewhere that isn't in the picture?

Looks like its just another comfortable room in a house. I'd love to have a garage like that. Especially, since mine can barely fit my vette and has a clay/pebble floor. Not exactly a great garage, but better than being totally outdside.

I wondered why our web site hit count was going up today and ran across your post. Thanks for the kind comments.

Designing and building the garage was almost as much fun as building the cars (but not quite). It does serve the purpose well and, to those who wonder if it gets dirty, you should have seen it while the 67 and 62 were being built. The 62 was finished at the end of August and I've just now gotten it back in order. Spending as much time in here as I do now it's nice to have a comfortable place to work.

Thanks again for the nice comments.

Hey Rich - A buddy of mine sent it to me - he's not even into Corvettes. Guess you are famous!

I did wonder about if the garage ever got dirty - do you have any pics of the garage all messy for us to view?

PS - what are the stats on the wheels /tire combination you have - any other views to drool over? :D

As far as pictures of the garage being used I do have a couple. The first is a shot of one of my chief helpers and the second is when we were doing the final polishing of the body. It's funny but usually when you are in the middle of something you don't often think of taking a picture.

On the wheel/tire combination it takes a small book to recap what is involved. You can e-mail me and I can give you the information.

You know Rich, that little Snap-On lift in the pictures of your 62 chassis is really neat. About how much does one of those cost? I assume it is rated to support a whole car?
