Subject: Garage remodel questions or recommendations? Author: kend1606 : member since July, 2004 : 334 posts Posted on: 2006-11-30 20:13:32

I really appreciate the pics and sources for lifts that have been posted lately. I'm planning to put one in that will let me put my ragtop above the 7. The current confusion is where to get the basics, wall tool storage (maybe to replace the old pegboard stuff) and worksurfaces. Does anyone have recommendations or secret sources for these? I get the Griot's catalog and except that I don't want everything to be RED, their stuff looks like good quality but is a little pricey. I have about 12 feet of wall space that I want to devote to an auto DIY area. About all I have now is a bench vise and a lot of tools out on a 4x8 sheet of plywood across sawhorses. Not pretty but functional. Also, what have others tried and found best for lighting over such a work area? I also have another area for detailing supplies and an associated counterspace. It's about 6 feet of good, existing countertop. Again, Griot's has many little wall storage things for their cans, etc. Any other good ideas for these cans, bottles, spray bottles, etc? Thanks, Ken
