I've been busy getting my new house and shop underway. The new shop is 46' X 44' with 12 foot ceilings. There is also an apartment over the top.

The shop needs to be finished before this Camaro comes home.

Mark,

Legally of course if you rent that apartment out, you may have to lease it to a person of Ferd or Mopar persuasion.

Hopefully it won't come to that though.




:lol:

Mark.Forget about posting work on the camaro.Let's see the inside of the shop.That's way cool.

OK I guess I'll ask the stupid question of the day. Why 2 tank vents?

Rear diffs building lost of heat battling against high horsepower need a place to vent their frustration.:cheers:

My guess is that he's done the same as I have: 1 for the tank, one for the diff...

OK. This board is great for learning. Thanks guys.

OK Mark the outside looks nice, but we need internal shots too. How much bigger is this from you other shop?

Going from 720 sqft to 2024 sqft plus a 880 sqft loft.... Lots more space and 12 foot ceiling so I can get a hoist.

That's some serious space upgrade! Now maybe you can crank out 2 cars at a time? :D

Great pic Mark, beautiful home, amazing garage. Can't wait to see the car finished.

HEAVEN!!!!





EEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Looking forward to seeing how you engineer the space. :thumbsup:

Mark you look like you're the same height as Weld in that pic! Hope the shop is just that big!

Nice diggs!

Sweet! Mine is 720 and I know how it got filled in a hurry ,and I'm not doing anything like you do. Enjoy it. I can't wait to see what come out of there.

Very nice shop. Just need to see the inside space...

:idea: Will there be a Stielow garage journal thread? :stirthepot:

The inside is not finished but has a lot of walls that need to go. That's not my boat it is the guys I'm buying the house from. We close Aug. 22.

This is upstairs also roughed in but not finished. Trying to decide apartment, man cave, or storage?

Should be a cool place when it is done.

Mark

Still in the Franklin area?

Hopefully there's not too many bearing walls!!


Looks great Mark!



Congrats on the move!

That's ok walls are easy to come out!

The trusses are load bearing free span, so no issue pulling the walls out. The guy had plans to wall it off to have a wood shop and a cold storage area, I think I would like open shop area and keep a couple rooms for bath room, storage room and a utility room.

The new house is in Milford backing to a state park.

The attached garage is also 26 deep by 36 wide.... Lots a room for drivers.

ONLY THE STIEGELOW would get that damn lucky! Awesome!

sounds like a nice place...

Nice new diggs Mark. So does that mean it will be a little longer before the Camaro is finished? Looks like you will have a new project on your hands.

As cool as your car builds are, your shop build is going to be awesome! Maybe even anither book: How to Build a Pro Touring Shop :king:

That's cool that it is not finished out inside. Lets you make changes that you want.

Should be a great place once you are done.

I remember another garage picture of a "Younger" Stig-a-low on the cover of Car Craft.....You have "Arrived".......LOL

Ken

It was Sept 2002 Popular Hot Rodding....

My old shop when the floor was shinny. That was a lot of projects ago. My old shop was great. Lots of good memories.

Mark

I still have all those issue's in my rack next to my TV chair.:thumbsup:

For upstairs, I would HAVE to go with man cave with some storage. Nice place! congrats!

X2. I would need a place to smoke my cigars, after long day of working on the car.:cheers:

Mark I blame you for bringing back my addiction. I had it under control till you built the Mule ( I am also blaming Popular Hot Rodding). The Mule was the "Car" that got me back into working on cars again and I can't thank you enough. It has been a fun road and I and I have made some great friends because of it.

I concur with Marty; I was out of the 'car sceen' for many years until I saw The Mule on the cover one day and said, "Wow'. I picked up the magazine and started buying car magazines from then on...waiting for the day I could afford to 'buy' back in. :thumbsup:

You were my little 'crack dealer'....gave me a little sample and had me hooked.:happy23:

Can't it be all of these at the same time?

Anvil fenders.
 

Hi Mark.

First of all, great build as always.

I'm working on a 69 Camaro now that needs some extra space up front.
Is there any chance you could take some dimensions of your front fender so I can see how much more room I will have?

Keith Quinn.

Speaking of Anvil fenders. I tried to send you a pm the other day but your box was full. I did some test fitting and test driving and found a couple things that may be helpful to you before you get to paint. In any case I'm interested on comparing notes between the fiberglass and carbon fiber.

Matt

Sorry cleaned it out. Yes let's compare notes.

How is the shop coming along Mark? Hopefully things are going well, can't wait for more updates on XV.
