Garage Upgrade
 
After roughly 5 years of attempting to work on my Camaro in my small 1 car garage, I decided to branch out and rent some space.

I'm splitting the cost with a friend, and our rough plan is to get started working on our cars and acquire tools along the way.

Tools we have so far:
-80 Gal Air compressor
-Miller 211 Welder
-very entry level drill press
-very entry level band saw
-basic tools that we have both acquired over the years

Things we are looking to find in the near future:
-bead roller
-metal brake
-TIG
-English wheel (may build)
-Fab Table (will build)

plenty of room for us to work....for now I'm sure it will fill up quickly

This is a great idea. Just having a space to put the car on a lift and work on it would be worth it. Split the cost with other like minded friends. Turn it into a hangout spot for car guys to talk and work on their cars.

it has been nice, and having a buddy to split the cost definitely helps. We both label our tools and split cost where we need to. like the electric install today.
