Who has THE best gearhead garage here? Any fancy tool organized layout? Maybe a lift in the garage?

Most likely GMMG, since there are some ZL1 conversions going on in the photos. Pretty sweet!

Are you guys still building ZL1s? How many left to go?

No lift yet, but it's got potential. 30 x 30 shop with a 20 x 30 shed area extended off of it. Insulated, 240V, full slab. A complete wreck right now until I get some big parts shelves. Fenders, trunk pans, and large interior pieces just don't stack well.

And yes, this is the reason we bought our house. This shop only added about $4k to the price of the house (when comparing $/sq ft of surrounding homes).

How much did the birdhouse in the picture add to the cost of the house? haha. I'd love to find a garage setup like that.

Andrew, that's awesome! (So is the other shop, but I think what Tony's looking for here are personal shop pictures ).

One day I hope to move out of this crappy little subdivision I'm in, get a little bit of land, and have a nice big detached garage with a lift...

First I need to find a job...

Well, since I don't own a garage of my own (yet!), I've been forced to work on my own car at this dump of a shop, known as MTI. They only have 5 lifts, a Dynojet, and more than too many tools, welders, etc... Man it sucks to have to work in such poor conditions. LOL!

MTI shop

Now, if I could just build an apartment upstairs I'd be set.

Yes that is GMMG, with the VERY limited production ZL1s with the 427 putting out 600 HP to the crank. How many are they making and how much???
