Shop Construction

Initial Building 1997

The original shop was built in 1997.  The 1600 SF  space with 12.5 foot ceiling peak seemed cavernous!

Expansi0n 2010

In 2010 the original 1600 SF shop was more than doubled in size to accommodate a chassis dynamometer and provide for additional work and storage space. The south portion retained the same roofline however the floor was lowered seven feet to allow for the south 12×9′ door to sit level with the terrain.  This gave nearly a nearly 20′ ceiling height.

Second Floor Clean Room 2017

In the early spring of 2017 we added a second floor to the “lower” shop. The lower shop had a 20′ ceiling with a floor 7′ below that of the “upper” shop.  It was designed such that a Mustang Chassis dyno was placed on a concrete shelf in the entry to the lower shop level with the upper shop floor.  Cars can be strapped to the lower shop alignment lift which is bolted to the dyno itself.

The “Lower Upper” shop is now a clean room for engine building and storage of cleaned parts. The walls and ceiling are OCF Pink insulation covered in mylar sheeting.  New motion-sensitive LED light fixtures were also installed along with a 100Amp sub-panel.   The floor is constructed two sheets thick of Advantech/Pinnacle 3/4″ OSB over 11-7/8″ I-Joists, 12″ on center, all supported by a pair of 25′ 12W26 steel beams. The steel beams are each resting on a pair of 4″ steel columns. We used about 20 gallons of polyurethane in three coats to seal the floor.  In the photos shown the garage door is open, in its “up” position.

In the summer of 2019, we added a customer wafting/conference area.
