Cool - way cool.
every time I see a shop that clean I have to wonder if any work gets done in there at all - or if the pictures were taken immediately following the completion of the building project.
That was an expensive restoration!There's always something new to learn.Comment

Re: Restored 1930ies auto shop.
I wonder what the 48 tons of scrap metal did to offset the restoration cost.

Re: Restored 1930ies auto shop.
I can see me spending some time on garage journal just to get some ideas and inspiration, but damned, - I've seen operating rooms that weren't that clean!
Really - unless all you ever work on is brand new cars, or freshly restored cars that someone else did all the dirty work on - how can you possibly have a shop that clean for very long?

Re: Restored 1930ies auto shop.
nice work.. he mentioned not throwing parts away..
it must have paid for itself in just junk and now there is a pile of 20 years of NOS.
I remember seeing this already.. first post was in dec 2009.
lottery barn.
that lift is a real kick in the modern autos unibody.
I learned it with an AWD subaru... getting lifted on that design lift..the calmest it has been getting jacked up on that design is after 12 mig reels of weld.. and a rubber grommet leaking by the water pump a day after going up tells me it is still earthquaking.
it is hilarious... the garage genre tells me it is more than clean, but no unibodies allowed.
I mean ALL unibodies.Previously boxer3main
