Honestly, my garage needs a garage, but I try to make the most of the limited space I've got.

AZmidget: That is a garage I can only dream of ! To own that much space to have that large of a garage where i live would require you to be a multi millionaire (not joking) or own a shop... Thats a damn fine spot ya got there. Where did you get that tricked custom (looking at least) rear end ? Looks damn decent.

Efuerin (sp???) You got a damn nice garage too. I like it a lot. Definately reminds me of a "man cave" type garage. Definately gets a big thumbs up from me.

its called a quick change rear end they use them in midgets, sprint car and other race cars, the brackets , drew up in cad and had watter jetted



its called a quick change because there is a plate on the back that you take off and then you can change the gears by swapping out other gears here are the gears

I love those rear ends. We have one in the sprint car. They make a starter you can bolt onto the end of it so that you can fire the engine without having to push off the car.

damn AZ/PKR nice setups! One of these days I'm going to add on another bay to my 2 car just for tools. Right now this 49 Cadillac is taking up all my space making it a pain in the butt getting around in there. Then it's like 100 degrees outside making the garage pretty toasty. I'd post a pic but it's trashed right now.

Wow, not only never seen anything like that, heck, i have never HEARD of anything like that. So thats pretty standard on the Midgets and what not ? Never been much into track racin, I prefer rocks ! lol

So, looks like your not changing the Ring and pinion, but rather a seperate gear set out back ? Interesting stuff.

I don't give a **** but I am 17 so I guess I can't say to much. The only thing I don't like is my spoiled friends who just ask and it's their's. Such as my friend who had a Jeep Liberty for a year and got a brand new one with all the bells and whistle's for no reason.

My latest mod is my paved driveway.

Another mod is my cupboards,I still need more shelves.

My two favorite mods are my lift and mobile home furnace.

FWIW my garage is always trashed too.I have too much stuff, too many projects going on and no time to build more shelves to put stuff away.
