I have no idea, all I know is when we owned our 72 Monte, it barely fit in the garage - hardly any room in front or behind. My 03 Monte has a tight fit too because there is a shelving/cabinets in front of my space. The space next to mine the is a gigantic air compressor so not much room there either. We have 2 narrow roll cabs in between the 3rd bay. These are old pics but you get the idea.

I got an email about this thread, and if any of you are interested in looking at the site on the web with the absolute best 'garage' content, then Google 'Garage Journal' and take a look at the forums there.

I've got a two car garage that I went at when I was unable to work for a few months. It became a pretty big project for me, but if you're interested in making the most out of a small space, you might want to take a look at the website I made for it. I'm not going to include a direct link, even though it's not a commercial or sponsored or revenue-generating site. But if you Google 12-Gauge Garage, you're likely to find it.

It's a 20'x21' basic two-car, and I only keep the one car in it (not a Chevy). It was put together on a budget of about $3,500, made almost entirely out of used and/or damaged industrial equipment I picked up here in Los Angeles. I did all of the work myself, learning to set tile, weld, cut concrete and such as I went.















Work benches that fold down from the wall:







Is it always this clean? No. Not by a long shot.



But it does go back to clean very quickly -- that's the real accomplishment of it, I think. I finally took the time to work out a place for everything to go when It's not being used.

In practice, it makes a huge difference not having to spend so much time looking for things you've misplaced. I spent years doing that.

Heres an update on my garage. I patched the cracks using rust oleum concrete patch and repair. Next, I applied rust oleum epoxyshield on the floor with a clear gloss over it.

This weekend, I painted the walls white (3 coats) exterior flat white. It sucked the paint right up, its plywood. I then snapped a chalk line and painted the lower half a red. The red looks a little off, I am thinking about re-doing it a gray. I got all the paint for free so I'm not complaining.




FYI here is a before pic from when I bought the place, should have put that in the beginning.
