Finally my shop is almost ready to move into. All lift and tools in. I bought the booth and mix room with all the fire suppression and bake oven for 10k, I had to take it down and put it back up but its worth it, its only 8 years old and the original owner (dealer) paid about $100,000. Its been a long 4 months geting the shop up and all the details done. I have a ASE certified master mechanic working with me so together we can do alot of cool stuff. Hope things work out. anyway, if anyone is up in Kendallville IN look me up!

It is 3160 sq ft. Twice what I have at my home shop. plus I have alot of room above my office for storage. I have a little gas powered tow motor that reaches 9 ft 2 inch, my office roof is 9 ft. Just makes it! awsome for unloading and storage. I thought the power converter would be really loud but it is so quiet it's crazy! I think my dishwasher is louder than it is. The booth is loud tho. here is some pics of my office. I will have paint samples and chrome lettering of my business name Zinger Customs on the wall with the racing stripe. The ceiling and walls are dry walled and textured with a knock down and semi gloss paint. I spent several days on scaffolding spraying that ceiling! My back was shot as was my neck. heres more pics.

That looks top notch! Nice job!
Do you know what kind of car project will be used to "break in" the new shop?

I give it 6 months and you will need more space. I remember when I thought 10,000 sq ft was huge. It is never big enough.
Good luck

I used epoxy-coat brand epoxy. seems good so far, nice and glossy. I will be finishing my brothers 69 firebird in it and I am also in the middle of a frame off restoration of a 1978 International Scout II for a customer. I can't wait to get in the new shop. Still need my lift at home to get the scout rolling. Hopefully by the end of the week I can start taking my lift apart. I have a lot of tools to move. It will make for a long weekend.
