Pictures of your garage

The only part of the house that really matters

and the other side

Rapid,

It's not until you see the Hall Super Pantera side by side with a stock Pantera that you realize how much lower it sits.

Lots of work to do in my garage before I can compete with this...

Mark, it's good to see that you have your priorities in order. I have always loved the garage most. I just need to add on more room and include air conditioning, since it gets pretty hot in the summer in Az.

Joules5,
The hall super Pantera sat much lower than stock. When we reworked the suspension for the new tires/ wheels we raised it a little because it would drag on speed bumps etc. and I was worried I would end up destroying something under there.

Living in the ghetto

Hey Mark, that looks more realistic!

Hey that looks like mine before I got the storage shed. A real working man's garage!

Kevin,
Why spend all that cash on a garage when you can just bring your Pantera up here to my house, a mere 45 minutes away, and stash it in my garage. Just leave the keys in case I have to move it.

Hey Ron I appreciate the offer, especially since you have to be going through Pantera withdrawl! When is your car going to be finished?

Thats the back garage I built behind my house. It would have been bigger but not enough room or money. It works out really good I can be out working with out visitors and when I'm done I don't have to even close the door since its in my backyard. One of these days I'm going to have to fix it up.

Mark, it looks like it works to me!

I prefer to park in the front garage, Less things to fall in an earthquake

True, but it doesn't look as lived in.

All the fun is in the backyard

Here is a colage of my two garages, One garage has the majority of the tools. Note, to save space, I dont use a tool box, but put all the tools on a board. Also notice the large cabinet with blue drawers. It has all the bolts and what not. Worth the money I paid for the space savings. Also notice the 150,000 bto furnace. It gets cold here in the midwest. The second garage has all the heavy work tools like the press, lathe and Mill.

I'm getting no pictures on my computer?

Disregard!

Here you go...

Upstairs on the second floor I can park 2 cars and .....

oppps lets try again ..upstairs ...

and downstairs ...

.

and the rules

WHAT?! No sex in the garage? Man, you really need to loosen up a bit.

Well I guess this is as good a place as any for my first post.

What can I say but this is my front garage and I DO have a shed. Keeps me out of the rain though.

And no your eyesight isn't going that's not a Pantera in pieces....haven't been that fortunate yet. Some day.

Any way hope you don't mind but I'm going to hang around for a while and dream

Regards
Miles

Welcome aboard Miles, glad to have you with us!

Well Miles? Don't leave us hangin'!!! What is that in your garage? Looks like you're into a full restoration.

'68 Ford Mustang coupe. Father son deal. No major plans....just a remove, clean, and replace job. Give the kid some automotive basics so he turn into a motorhead like his ol' man.

There is a Cleveland on the side yard that may make in there...but don't say nothing to my wife

Miles

This is the mythical place where old yellow Panteras go to die......

Now that's a real working mans garage!

I added on about 12 feet in deepth and 13 feet in the high area for the 2 post lift.

Kevin

Here is an inside veiw.

Kevin

I will refrain from posting pictures of my garage as you all will think its cruel to keep a p-car in there.

Blaine

I don't know Blaine, I still have a chubby over Kevin's garage. It would take alot to ruin my mood!

Kevin,
It looks like you have no house? Humm, maybe I should do that to my place?
Art

Art,
I was lucky and had the room to go back on our property towards the alley.
Yes the house is bigger than the garage, It's an darn sham.

Kevin

Blaine,

it certainly can't be worse than mine....see page 7 of his thread.

Post the pic!

John

Supposed to be Harley Davidson. I think it is quite similar to a number of other colors though.

Still need to do a proper alignment on the car. Never had time last season to take it to a shop.

Those are my wifes clubs. Mine are behind the car. I have a Tabasco sauce driver cover which is :hot: .

My interest in cars, radio controlled aircraft, and other projects warranted a good place to work on them. This is the very reason I found land years ago a few miles from town. Before building the house I built a 40x88 barn (before finishing drive and before grass):

http://www.rc-tech.net/per/bf.jpg
http://www.rc-tech.net/per/br.jpg
http://www.rc-tech.net/per2/shop/ac.jpg

Within the barn I put up walls, put in a bathroom, insulated, drop ceiling, and central heat and air. Too many things to mention form here. Pole barns are not that much. Doing the rest of the work myself made the shop quite a place to work on cars. Makes it easy to tear down a project, walk away, and come back to it a week or two latter.

The shop is divided into a back storage area for tractor, lawn and garden type storage:

http://www.rc-tech.net/per2/shelf.jpg

The center is basically the R/C airplane room which has since become more of a transition area:

My wife has a room just for her ceramics. This room was going to be my tool room with lathes, mills, saws, etc. It was a good trade off. I am glad to have her out there with me!

One room for basic car work:

http://www.rc-tech.net/cars/panttransam/1905/enout.jpg


One room basically for painting although I have been doing some work in it against my better judgment:

http://www.rc-tech.net/MGB/paint1/bod4.jpg
http://www.rc-tech.net/cars/panttransam/1905/blast/sb6.jpg

Of course the main garage for other cars:

http://www.rc-tech.net/cars/panttransam/1905/pairrot1.jpg

The moral of the story, get a little bit away from the city. Buy some cheap land, build a pole barn. Put in a small bedroom and bathroom like we did. I used to spend weekends here and we would work on cars and other things. When we could finally afford the house we built the house out here. I don't miss living in town a bit! Wake up ever morning, quiet, watch the dear, the turkey even a skunk once in a while.

Gary

Exactly what I plan to do in the next few years Gary. The only problem is that there is no such thing as cheap land on Vancouver Island. Even out of town. You have a great setup there.

Blaine

Thanks Blaine. Home is home but I am lucky enough to live in an area rural enough to have cheap land available. I have some friends who wish to move to Arizona. They are learning that even places like that are finding the college educated Californians are running from that country at an epidemic rate and the property values are rising at un believable rates.

Gary you are a lucky man!

Maybee Deeb but all that work makes my back ache!

Not sure if this will work - but here is my shop - the pantera lives in the house garage - the wife agrees that I get all garage space - she gets the house space... good deal...

Here is my garage!
I have put a COUNTACH and PANTERA
in the same garage together hoping to bred a V12
and a V8, my best outcome is to get a V10!
Well that's my theory

Very nice Dennis, the two colors (Colours! ) set each other off well.

here is a pic of my garage, I had just had the rear extended to house the Ferrari which I had bought

Here is another taken last year after I had the lift installed, it has already saved me a lot of time and trouble.

OK Dennis, which car gets on top during breeding?

Not sure yet, but I do have a security camera inside!
I'll keep you informed...

Not my garage, but you got to hand it to the guy for making the most of the space available!

Is that a garage or a trailer. LOL...

That looks like Greg Jacobs

Old garage. Should win an award for clutter. At least I knew where everything was.

New garage. 30'W x 50'L, 14' at the eaves. Just getting organized. A Rotary Revolution 4 post lift is on order and should be here in a month.

Interior shot.

Another interior shot. The ramps under the Cat are for the scissors lift.

Whoa! What a change! Nice stable, you'll love the 4 post lift!

Here's my mess...I've given up trying to make it look neat:

Nice Stables. Wish I had that much room.

It's not always a blessing to have more room. You just end up filling it with more stuff.

I would too!!

Blaine

Here's the same space less than a year ago...

The '55 Nomad you can see in the picture of the old garage is in the new garage but it's not in the pictures.

Danny O, Unusual louvers on the Pantera. First time I've seen this variation.

I was partial to the Datsun. My dad had one with a small block chevy when I was a kid. Always wanted one.

Blain,
The 240Z is my son's car. He moved to Denver so it's stored in my garage. They are a neat car. Amazing how much room there is inside.

Really? These came with the car... What belongs there? I've considered removing them, but not sure what to put in their place.

From the factory, there was nothing there.

One of the more interesting setups.

Oh yeah!

Installed a Rotary Revolution 4 post lift.

And the Pantera's maiden voyage. There's still about 1 foot of lift height available.

Very nice! That's a dream garage. Everything's big in Texas. I was there in 97.

Johnny

how come your garage is so neat? looks awesum

Just getting settled in. In time it will be a mess. Then I'll be able to find things.

Pantera AND an 850i???

Here's link to more pics of mine: My Garage pics

Fantastic! I love the giant spark plug. I too collect enamel signs and automobilia.

Johnny

Thanks! And other than the small Ford sign in the divider between the big doors (a gift) all the others are original, non-reproduction signs.

the minute it stops raining i will take some shots it distorts the color in the garage and forward them on

So, do you guys who have multiple Pantera's realize how much harder that makes it for someone else to have one?

Yes, we all know how hard it is to shoehorn them in side by side too, especially if wide bodies.

Finally got the garage cleaned up after doing Dave Jacobson's Pantera. Time to dust off the Ferrari. -Steve

My new parking spot, I just need to get that washer and dryer out of my space.

OK Steve, back in my garage...

Here is a garage photo for you guys....

It has something I have not seen before in a well equipped DeTomaso garage. Can you spot it?
