He has a smaller one in his garage, but I've never really used it, because he has a shop out back I did everything in in high school. He said a 100,000 btu should heat my shop, or a couple smaller ones.

No, you don't want the panel type heater. The problem is that it is not vented. You do any work underneath the car, then you almost pass out. I owned one, and hated it.

If you short on cash, then you might look into a Dayton Electric heater. Grainger sells them. A friend of mine bought one, and it heats his 36 x 36 garage. Cost was only $300.
