For Leisure Times: Build an Auto Restoration Shop Beside Your Home
Love to tinker? Maybe you need to build an auto restoration shop right next to your house. That cozy shop will serve you and your muscle car well—and be a great escape to your own realm. Make it rock or keep it a quiet meditation as you like. 
After all, your home’s garage may protect your regular vehicles and allow you to store household items. But a treasured old muscle car requires much more than a resented position in the garage or a dusty place in the shed. You and the car deserve a personalized, custom auto shop.
Backyard Tinkering
Many tinkerers begin their restoration projects but run out of money or steam before completing them. Why? Folks come up with a lot of reasons why but top on the list is the extra effort it takes to carve out time—or space. Of course, amateurs in Colorado who take over the garage, while keeping the real car outside, may regret it. The extreme weather does a number on leather seats and high-gloss paint. Add rodents, and there could be a war with nature.
Start a Little Club of Your Own
So, it makes more sense to build a separate auto restoration shop behind or beside your home. What a great way to get 24/7 access and keep your little wow-car safe and secure. Your very own classic car storage-and-restoration club starts with a comfortable building, necessary equipment, and a special car.
Think it through and get every aspect your dream shop into the design. At least one bay would need a lift, workbench, mechanics’ tools. This area needs access to the delivery door and will hold things like motors, body panels, wheels, manuals or lockers for helpers/specialists who may come by to help.
It would be nice to put in a ventilated paint booth. Part of the space needs to be storage for parts and equipment rarely needed. Additional tools like wheel pullers, power bleeder, and welder can be organized in another area.
