    I like the retro idea, should be awesome when it's done. The guy in this video kind of has the same idea: http://vimeo.com/57909173
    I like cars.

    Cool man, I like where you're going with this project. It's going to be a lot of work, you'll contemplate quitting at times to. But it's all worth it when it starts to come together. I'm nearing the end of my project with most of the bull work done. I have the same size space to work with except higher ceilings. So I've been working off scaffold for pretty much the whole job. I gutted mine right down to the studs and redid everything. Here's where I'm at now.

    That looks amazing! How much does a ceiling mounted furnace like that cost?

    Sounds like a neat idea (the retro speed shop). My only piece of advice is that you can never have too much light.

    Can you build an enclosure for the compressor for noise mitigation?

    The only think I'd do different is radiant instead of forced air. Otherwise looks great.

    I need to move out into the country so I can build the kind of garage I want. Probably also winning the lottery is the only way to make it happen before i'm 70 though lol.

    If you take anything I have to say seriously, you're gunna have a bad time.

    If you're thinking about installing a wifi thermostat for your furnace make sure he runs a common wire. I'm using a Nest to control my furnace and it's wicked. But I forgot to install a common wire and ended up doing some drywall patching.

    I don't plan on running the furnace constantly during the winter. But being able to warm up the shop from the comfort of my couch or on the way home from work via iphone is pretty convenient.

    Thanks man, it's so crazy right now. I'm working like an animal to try and get the garage to a somewhat finished state before the wedding. We plan on having a brunch in our back yard on the patio the day after the wedding. As soon as the madness stops you gotta come by for a beer!

    looks like a good project

    ...also wondering what to do about flooring, and if I'll go the epoxy route.
    My new place has a 31' x 34' attached garage.
