"Abbys Pad" in Amarillo
It's been a while since I updated pictures of my garageMostly because I am retired and have learned to take my time doing things
It's been so long since I posted pictures that the old thread is sooo old that I've deleted the photo's I posted there, except for the 3 attachments..
I am almost done. I am trying to figure out a way to display my "Hogan Golf Clubs." They were my very first set and the are S/N matching. I left space on the opposite wall from where Abby is parked to mount them.![]()
There are 3 cabinets on the wall opposite Abby near the garage door opening. Then there are one each at the front of the garage on each side. Across the front of the garage and the side Abby naps I hung some old photo’s and memorabilia, which includes posters with signatures from Nolan Adams and Zora Duntov
I thought about hanging some of my "OLD Plaques but Nanc used to refer to my garage in Modesto as a Corvette Shrine. Besides most are old and from a time long, long ago. I have long since dismantled all my trophies and used the parts for Flagg Poles, help the club out with making trophies for events (Modesto Club) and tossed a bunch of the left over parts.
Recapping a little:
- Patched all the walls, filled all the nail/screw holes. Painted two tone Metallic Charcoal Gray bottom with Cream White divided by Red White & Blue stripe.
- Recessed florescent light fixture.
- Recessed spot lights over the rear area of parked car. Light for trunk area with garage door closed (useless with the door open
)
- New steel access attic drop down ladder.
- New exhaust fan to allow heat and fumes to vent through the ceiling also acts as a whole house fan.
- Crown molding
- Removed the “Popcorn Ceiling Stuff”
- Had the floor professionally epoxy’d
- Tiled the front end of the garage.
- Did a little re-wiring
- Installed cabinets (5 Total)

Junk... we don't need no stink'n "HeartyAck" around here
These are not the best pictures of RARE, the lighting is two florescent fixtures. One 8' with 2 bulbs and the one above RARE is a 4' fixture with 2 bulbs... with the rear doors closed there ain't much natural light, and I was too lazy to open the doors
Here is RARE napping in the shop
The shop is insulated and has heat, but no airconditioningwhere RARE is parked it is 12' wide. The previous owner used it for his boat storage. The front of the shop is a bit bigger and the over all length is 29' so there is room in front of RARE for my work bench, tool caddy, storage. When I do my wood working I back RARE out onto the driveway
