My shop is a two car garage. It's tough to work in there, takes more effort and planning, but no doubt it's cozy. I have my whole driveway too, plus all my neighbors help me when needed, which I think they enjoy doing stuff as much as me.

Post by: GlennLever on February 04, 2013, 08:15:38 AM: Nice i wish my neighbors were as nice every time I fire it up the cops show up. I done when they arrive so they just leave again.

Mine does not fit in thegarage so I had to cut a hole in the wall and the front wheels sit out on the back porch.

Post by: denverflatheader on February 04, 2013, 08:38:46 AM: I have a friend who cut a small square hole in his first trailer so his parachute and mount stuck out. Us drag racers always figure out a solution.
For me, I like the old style open trailer.

Try building 225" car.30 over hang in garage thats 20 wide and 22 deep.Add in bridgeport mill,lathe(behind car),enought parts to run top alcohol,wood working stuff and two harley(sitting out right now). Then you learn what it takes to work in overstuffed small area.

Post by: GlennLever on February 08, 2013, 05:07:14 AM: My garage is 20 by 22, I just also expanded into the basement.

We are all brothers though because we are proud of our shops, and to a man I'm sure want bigger ones, with more stuff in them.

Post by: bud on February 08, 2013, 08:43:27 PM: Shops are one of a kind, To my wife it's a place she can put stuff that she don't want in the house, I go out there and dream of what I could have done if I was only 40 years younger, I have even though about putting a lift in so I could pull one car under another and stack them, I think that is part of drag racing always wondering what if and thats why we have shops..
