I actually like the before shots. Reminds me of most of the working garages I have been in.

That reminds me of this place (http://www.carrollstauto.com/index.htm), a former dilapidated garage a few blocks from my house, except that this place was a 40s or 50s garage at one time. Now it's a big boys candy store. Not too many pictures of the interior of the place but it's like a car guy's heaven.

Not according to my Mother. I'll have to ask my Dad. :p

A little too nice for my liking - but I would 'deal' if I had to. Actually it is not that it is too nice, just some things I would have done differently. BUT I am just splitting hairs, I think it is awesome what this guy did! I love that he saved a place that many would have just torn down.

Very glad he sifted through the stuff and saved many of the things that could be saved. Love the shots of the tree growing around the Hudson Terraplane - my Dad had one of those before my time.
