Default My Mustang Garage

10 years after building my Mustang garage (32' x 40' attached) at my cabin, I finally got around to hanging up pictures etc. The 86 GT convert is under the cover, the 90 LX convert is covered with gravel dust (1 mile of gravel road to get to the place from the tar road), and the 89 SSP is at home (it will winter under the lift). The Hotwheels track (25') was for the First Annual Mustang Challenge, where my daughter, friend and four cousins are each given a new in the package 92 Mustang (Hotwheels). They are paired up and race best of 3 (changing lanes each time) and their final place in the bracket determines the order they pick (with eyes closed) from a bag containing a variety of Mustang diecast collectibles. The race was supposed to be on the deck, but the heat and humidity forced the race to be moved into the garage.

Lots of things to like about that garage of yours! The nice thing about putting the Hotwheels track on the lift is if you want the cars to go faster all you have to do is raise the lift up. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Don't mind me...I'll try and keep the drool from hitting the floor. That is great looking!

Yes it is. Found it on eBay a couple of years ago. Stickered SEP 1989.
Thanks for the compliments guys! In the Summer when my allergies cause my snoring to be worse than usual I end up on a cot under the lift for the night. I don't mind, a man's garage is his cave (at least in my case). I usually have screens on each end garage door opening in the Summer, but it has been so beastly hot I have passed on putting them up this year (besides I've see quite a few Black Bear around and I really don't want to share my cave with them).
