Compared to most of you, we don't really have winter down here in Texas.

However, my '94 Z28 has been in hibernation while the motor is rebuilt and my '01 Camaro SS is in hibernation at a buddy's shop out on his property because I don't have space to store it.

Here's my little shop where the Blue Beast has been confined.



And here's my garage where the garage queens sleep in between outings.


I made a De-motivational poster too. This is in the midst of swapping the wheels on the '01 SS in preparation to put her in storage.

When my wife and I purchased our home a few years ago, it didn't have a garage or any other type of out building. Fortunately the property did include 2.7 Acres of land. Plenty of room to put up a shop. And needing a place to store and work on all the vehicles, my brother and I did just that.

Here are a couple pics of the Toys and other projects we keep inside...

This is the East Wall, which we pretty much use exclusively for storage. You can see my bro's 35th SS, my wife's 98 Mustang Conv. (with its new Black Top that I installed ), and two of my Firebird Fomulas under their covers.



Same wall, this time including the wife's Min-Pin, Dixie.



The West side of the shop has the Bathroom/Boiler Room (for the in-floor heat) and the Shop Area where we tear our **** apart and do our best to put it back together. In the foreground you can see my third Formula that is, and has been for a while, under construction.



Anyways... this is where the toys stay during the winter months as well as most of the rest of the year.

Thanks guys.

LOL. Yeah, Dixie isn't exactly the ideal "Shop Dog", but she serves the purpose from time to time.

Mine stays in the driveway right next to the slowbalt, we don't really get this "winter" you speak of around here haha. Except for the massive amount of snow we just got but this is a rare occasion. The car hasn't moved in 3 days. When I leave for basic training, she'll be in and out of the shop getting the bodywork done until I get based, then she'll be with me again.

Just curious man, what are the specs of your shop? How much did it cost to build it? Whenever I move out to my house in the country I plan on building something like this to house my car and whatever future projects I may get. Yours looks like the ideal size!
