man it takes forever to finish a project when you work full time and have familes and other things popping up. well 4 months later and my dad and I are still at the same point on the building its packed full of our junk but not finished. we did get done with the garage at the house just have to put the carpet in and finish the last three ceiling tiles.
here is the pics of the garage at the house ill get some pics of the packed full shop this weekend.

the tail lights are a unique part of my car which i like just like your hood. I think that hood is hideous but thats what you liked so thats fine. there is another thread of mine that talks about my tail lights and where they have come from. I painted the lights to match the car and ended up liking it and thats why i have not gone back to stock lights yet. thanks for the compliment on the garages though my dad and i have put alot of work into them.
I still live at my parents even though im moving out the end of the year the SS will probably stay cause my girlfriend doesnt thing we will have room for me to have two cars there. so its staying at my parents. there is a two car garage at teh house which will hold my moms honda and the work out stuff. then the big building will hold the SS, my dads truck and be my dads carpentry shop. we have not finished everything on the building yet though.

for those wondering how much the building cost us. My dad said he has about 7k in the structures just the slabs, frame, sheets, and AC system. so if you add up the insulation, drywall, and electrical work your looking at about 10k We did all the work except the AC and electrical though. It still looks about the same hoping to finish up the interior this month now that we have the AC problem fixed and im done with school. My dad and I are huge Dallas Cowboys fans so my dad found the color codes for the team and were painting the interior the gray color and putting up a huge star on the back wall and a stripe around the room in the blue color.

so about 5 years later were in Jan 2009 and the shop is almost complete finally. the interior just need the side ceiling panels put in and the walls painted and the floor is getting another coat. The exterior has been added on to with a yard shed on the back with the mower. were also in the process of closing in the back side which may store the camaro I have not decided If I want to leave the car at my parents yet. Then some trim pieces on the corners and some paint and she is done.
Now to the pictures

This weekend we just cleaned and got organized mostly we built a shelf in the back to hold things and then started moving things out of the main shop into the addition. My dad is going to try and finish the ceiling during the week and then the scaffolding can finally come out. Next Saturday we are planning on painting the interior and then the week after hopefully another coat on the floor.
