Almost Finished Garage

[ERDOC]

Here are some pics of my garage nearing completion. The lift was from superior lifts. Moving around 3700 pounds of steel was not easy especially for 2 people with a little help from an engine hoist.

Looks great!

Can that single-post be used as a scissor-type lift? Freeing the wheels, etc?

Looks good who's floor is that?

They are working on approval for a jack extension but it is not available yet. I plan on lifting the car then lowering it onto jack stands.

The floor is actually made by the same company that makes Race Deck but sold to Overstock.com under the name Garage Deck. It was under 3 bucks a square foot vs 4+ for Garage Deck. You are limited to Black, Alloy and Beige colors.

The garage looks great. Have you thought of installing any slatted wallboard to hang cabinets, hooks and the like. If interested, my wife owns a company called Zen Garage and I am sure we can beat anyones prices. We also carry a tile called Daytona made by Sport Court, which is available in about 15 different colors, that we can sell well under 3.00 per foot. If interested drop me an email to [email protected] or visit her site at www.zengarageinc.com

Looks great!!! Nice Job!!

How big is your garage?, like 20x20 also what is the ceiling height?

I just got back from City Hall (yesterday) showing them my plans for my garage and the City is having some problems with them regarding setbacks and so on...
Just wondering how small I can get away with and still have room for a lift and 2 cars on the ground with some room to move about. I am thinking 22x22 ft with a 12 ft ceiling may be just enough....
What do you all think??
(Hey that was my 500th post...yippee)
Cheers,

Well Phoung,

That looks good! Sorry we kept dropping the calls.

I like that lift! I guess if you need to just get to the otherside you just back it up? Nice for confined space!

20' wide X 23.5' deep with 10'8" ceiling. We had to work with the placement of the lift relative to the structural beam and also had to raise the garage doors. The lift was $4500, on the higher side of things but worth not banging your doors like a standard two poster and freeing up space in the middle of the garage vs a 4 poster. It was a similar design to the Benpak I don't plan to putting a 2500 series pickup or hummer up there so the conservative 5000lb capacity was more than enough for its purpose. Bend Pak makes one for a little less but had significantly less undercarriage access and weighed in 1400 pounds less than my lift. Personally I would like as much steel as possible if I'm going to be standing under it.

Thanks, I'll let you know how the Viper is getting on those ramps. I had a friend bring his GTS over and did not have any clearance problems but mine is slightly lowered. I don't anticipate any problems though. I'll post some pics once the garage is complete with all the horses in the stable.

It's a secret... The Viper is off getting some added muscle bolted on.

Man, I sure like the way you put the tiles down. Looks great. I'm thinking of doing my whole garage but winter slush is hard to clean all the time.

haha. That is so funny. I assume you love the S2K as well.

 

[Bravo]

Th s2k gets used a lot!
My backs been bugging me this summer, so the bikes have sat.
Took the ACR yesterday for the State Inspection, and went for a blast afterwards. Holy Crap! To really appreciate the viper, park it for a month, and drive something slower.

Could not be said better. I love the S2000 because it is not a slow car and rides on rails and I find myself driving it alot. I think I put about 1,000+ miles a month on it but after driving it solely for over a month, getting in the Viper is hilarious. Just shows you how much power these cars have. The S2K is fast but the Viper is on a whole other level. I could only imagine what it is like with a Supercharger or these new 600HP beasts!
