Very cool garage! I’ve been following along. I just recently started construction of my own garage. I’ll certainly be borrowing several of your ideas. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Chris, You are welcome. I recommend the hidden metal floor and getting magnets installed BEFORE paint. (Unlike me where I did it after). All the custom decals are fairly easy but time consuming. Enjoy (and share) your project.

Added a few more magnets to some items. Added sheetmetal to tire rack to keep gas and oil cans (which have magenets too) from falling off.

My friend Tim came by today bearing gifts. (He has a lot of really nice dioramas). He gave me a really nice SnapOn tool box and a tool cart.

Really nice SnapOn tool box and tool cart there. Bill....... and you have a good friend in Tim, for sure.

I love this shop. Everything is just right. That tool box is a great touch. Any plans for a top to it? Most of the boxes in the real world have plastic, steel or wood tops.

Thank you David. Tim is an avid diorama builder and has a whole bunch of really cool ones. He found my one online here and was floored when he found out we live in the same town. We have been trading ideas and parts a number of times since.

Kyle, Thank you very much. Yes there is a plan. I want to make a transparent top with 10 fixtures from an AMT NASCAR trailer kit. I will add LEDs that light and are controlled by a remote control. Unfortunately, the demand from businesses for COVID shields has wiped out the local supply of Plexiglass. I will get back to it eventually.
