hello all, my name is chris and i just wanted to introduce myself and say hey to everyone. looking foreward to gathering up as many ideas as possible for the eventuality of building my own garage.
as of now i have the distinct pleasure of doing all of my automotive hobbying in my driveway out in the elements. gotta love that.
so, i'm off to search the forums for ideas! later all!

Exactly the reason that I built my garage. It ain't no fun changing out a motor on a gravel driveway!
Welcome aboard! show us the cars. Tell us what your future garage site is like.

that last pic also kind of gives you an idea of what i'm working with garage wise. where the slab ends will be extended out to the end of the house about a foot wider than what is currently there. the approx. dimensions are going to be 23' x 14'. it won't be much, but will get me out of the elements.
needless to say storage solutions for such a small space will be the greatest challenge.

Welcome to the forums, Chris!

Nice "project" truck. She's a beauty :cool:

What year is it... I'd guess about... oh... '68?

From the pic, it looks like you could add to the slab for a bigger garage. Is that out of the question?

it has been a while since i measured exactly, but yes, i can add a slab and make the sq ft. enough to get the f100 in and somewhat work around it.
these two pics will give you a little better of an idea as to what i have to work with space wise.

Welcome , Chris , that '68 is lookin' good. I like the lightning wheels on it . Kinda sets it off ya know.

[ezernut9mm]

thanks redltg. i was going for a different look.

What about if you made it extra deep. So you can't get say 10X40. Smae square feet as a double but extra long. Can't really park two cars in it but would give you the room?

And I Love The Truck! SO much so that I am on eBay looking at them now.
