That's how we all started out. And some of us still don't have to much more. All my stuff is very dated. I need tools to work on modern stuff in a bad way. If I had my way, all my squares would be LS powered, except 1 would be Olds 455 powered for the Nostalgia itch.

I will try to get a picture of my garage even though it's just a one car and you can't even get a car in it right now, lol, my house in texas has a 3 car carport with a nice size storage room, it is basically a garage but with no garage door, don't really need a door down there, lol

This is my INDOOR man cave, still in it's evolutionary process. Don't mind the clutter on the floor, counter, and table. It has become a sort of staging area for junk to be thrown out or stuff that doesn't have a home somewhere else in the house. Anyways, here some pics...

This pic is as you walk in. Windows to the outside and some display cases greet you.

Wall to the right. Eventually there will be at least one beer tap on the counter area. Future permanent stereo system will be based on this wall also.

Close ups of the display cases, filled with Hot Wheels and Jonny Lightnings and other die casts. 12 rows and 12 columns in each case is 144 per case, with 4 cases makes 576 total in the cases. Waiting to get at least enough to fill half of another case before I buy another one.

Wall to the left as you walk in. Bottom part of the wall is bare because that is where I would like to build my tailgate couch. I would like to mount the back couple of feet from a square body bed on the wall, and when you lower the tailgate it would reveal a custom made couch to sit on. Some day it will happen, just need for some other things to happen first.

Last wall. Just a closet and a bathroom that is going to get redone at some point too. A dart board will most likely displace the neon clock. The KWKENUF license plates on the wall are from my Monte (and Corvette at times). My dad and I came up with that back when he gave me the car. I currently have the fourth variation on the car.

Eventually a pool table will end up in the middle of the room, a couple small bar type tables for the stools, and who knows what else. It is taking me a lot longer than I planned because other things around the house NEEDED my attention slowly sliding this room down the priority list.

Now THAT'S a man cave! Very nice so far! I need to get some display cases like those to put all my Johnny Lightning and Hotwheels cars in. Right now most of them are boxed up.

Thanks. I like how it is coming along. It's amusing to me now to hear some people freak about the fact that I took all those cars out of their packages.

I would post pics of my garage, but it's just a third stall with a tool box that is too big for the amount of tools in it. Just a jack and stands laying around and a small air compressor that is barely good enough for pumping tires.

Here is where I got the cases at... http://www.carneyplastics.com/default.htm
I had several e-mail exchanges with them before I bought from them. Very nice people with great customer service.

Thanks for the link!

Yea, most of mine are out of the packages too, I've just packed them away in boxes recently while I do some remodeling. People always give me grief for taking them out of the packages and I say who cares, I'm not planning on selling them anyway.
