Do almost everything myself. I built most of my Firebird in this garage rented from a neighbor. Good thing I'm a thin guy! There's not a lot of room in there. Had to get car up against wall to do bodywork on one side then turn car around to do the other side.Ran extension cord from my house for power and long air hose from my basement compressor to the garage. Painted it in the dirt driveway before it was graveled. Probably the only magazine cover car painted outside on dirt in a long long time! Machine work done by shop, exhaust tubing bent by shop. All suspension, bodywork, Paint, windows, engine, interior,elec etc done by me. On my current Malibu project I've done most of the bodywork in the parking lot at work after hours with just hand tools. I need a real shop or less cars to free up garage space to work in !
