Re: New guy garage?

Put some mats down around work stations or benches so you can work more comfortably. Also a couple of high stools with backs for when you can sit to do your work. The guys are right about the 80 gal compressor, you will need it for body work and a blast cabinet. Add lots of tall shelves for storage, the heavy duty ones that can handle some weight. Dont forget 220 outlets for welder, oven if you decide to powdercoat, and each lift you might add. Plumb your airlines with retractable wheels so you don't have airlines all over the floor. Paint your floor if its concrete with a sealer that will keep dust and moisture down. Have fun, working on your man cave is almost as fun as working on the projects.
