Sanford looks good...did you do the epoxy floor yourself and how do you like it?

Go as big as you can afford, space is always good. Also seal the floor makes it a lot nicer.

RE: "Mans Space"...Garage Ideas
With the help of my best buddy "Smooth Eddie" in Dallas we went through my garage and made it a very cool place to hang out, work on the bikes and just kick back with a cold beer with our Harley riding pals. Even got in a Magazine called "Ultimate Garages".

You guys are making me jealous of your clean garages.I hope to someday be there.
I have a 3 car attached...and it is a mess.
I do have toys though, not rich dude BMW stuff but fun working man things...everything runs.
There is actually the brother in laws GSXR 750 behind the Mustang.
The Mustang runs solidly in the 10s. Hoping for a 9 sec timeslip soon.

Man! always enjoy the pics of the garages (this and earlier threads). Gonna redo all our clutter into a nice arrangement once my "51 Chevy p/u restoration is done in a couple of weeks.
Presently the stuff crammed in 3 bays plus a storage notch in front of one bayis:
*Bend-Pak four post car and truck lift,
*MIG welder, plasma cutter and roll-around welding/cutting table,
*Metal bending brake,
*Lots of woodworking machines,
*Work bench, desk, roll-around tool chest,
*Kayaks,
*Lots of free standing shelving units,
*Big air compressor and air tools,
*Four bicycles,
*Engine hoist and other jacks,
*3 autos and the Ultra
It all fits, somehow! I think the trick to make it comfy and to get more free floor space is going to be more wall mounted shelving up high around the whole perimeter and a few other wall space innovations. Either that or buy a bigger garage withan attached house!

RE: "Mans Space"...Garage Ideas
The problem with my garage is dust! I keep a nice clean garage with floors mopped clean enough that you can eat off of them. I live on 6 miles of Vermont dirt road. Whenthe cars are brought in, particularly this time of year dripping with mud, and you let it dry to sweep the fllors before mopping the dust is in every corner? I even put in a filtering system that exhaust to the outsidebut it doesn't do much. How do you guys keeps those garages dust free....I know, Move to pavementRight!!
