Mopar Man Cave

[440roadrunner]

Hey how's it going? Everyone's pictures are great... great site. Here is my Mopar Man Cave .... or my buddies just call it the Garagemahal:

I did this on the cheap by using reclaimed/recycled materials. All work was done by myself, except pouring concrete floor.

Current projects include adding an outhouse downstairs and finishing off the upstairs. Upstairs to have `50's diner at one end, `40's in the middle with a South Pacific/Military/USO feel... stay tuned!

NOW...Does anyone around the Chicago area have an extra urinal for me??

Great fucking space, d00d!

I would pay to drink there, and that's a compliment of the highest order!

Great place!! I am by no means a gear head but I just love old muscle cars.

The pictures are kind of dark so it's hard to tell. But the "other car" (on the left) looks like an old Pontiac Chieftain that a friend of mine spent about 10 years restoring. What is it?

I would love to have the Chevy equivalent with a 1965 Chevelle SS in place of the Mopar Muscle.

Hahaha thanks for the cool comments guys....Dennis- That's a `42 Plymouth. Yes those pics are a little dark...scroll through all the online pics to the last. They're a little brighter.

[440roadrunner]

Hopefully these are brighter?

[sunsetpizza]

holy shit. that place is great. The fact that most of the materials are recylced would be enough to make Algore cream himself.

Amazing - I envy you sir.

Much better. Your cave looks even cooler when we can see it properly!

"Jummy's Route 66 Diner" looks like a great project. Can't wait to see more of it.

It's amazing how you're re-using building materials. I take it that you have access to all of that great stuff because you're in the building demolition business?

Thanks! The Diner will be cool. Right now I just have the outside done.

I actually am a Union Sheet Metal Worker. When jobs are remodeled they discard lots of stuff. I'm usually there at the right time. I have a knack for being able to look at something and know exactly what I can use it for. So I'll get and hold it until I need it. I never take unless I'm going to use it, and never without asking.

That is an awesome place.

I would like more information on how you stained the floors.

. I stained the concrete using a $2.35 bag of "Copperas", an iron sulfate based garden additive and water, followed with a water-based clear sealer. Environmentally safe as opposed to caustic acids.


I want to do this and would really appreciate the information on how.
I have a 60x40 slab and this will save alot of money.
Thanks

U had me at Mopar. Add a 70 challenger to your space and I'll move in and do the cooking.
