Now there's a place screaming for the application of motorhead paraphenalia. That's a lot of wall space just waiting.....

Nice work. I am however, a little curious. The shower is on the first floor adjacent to the stairs?

I rarely take the time to go through long build topics, however this has been worth the read every single minute, and like one person had mentioned here, you have really built what for a lot of us is a dream, congrats and my compliments!!
Thank you very much for the kind words. We were fortunate to have quite a few people ahead of us in the build/finished phases of their units. Without insight and ideas from them, our unit may have looked a lot different (less thought out). I also had a great contractor (plug...Tim Powers - Bayview Custom Homes) who not only executed our ideas, came up with many creative solutions.

Thanks... Bath/shower are on the mezzanine level to the left of the kitchen.

The downstairs 'room' is a mechanical with the slab boiler, storage, water heater & softener and the air compressor.

I have a bunch of vintage petrol signs dating 20's-60's at home. Some of those will be coming over to Motorplex.

We're going to keep a modest sign presence as we want the cars to be the stars

A few of them:

Yes, for sure. Alex is going to swing back after the FFR kit arrives.. by then, the rest of the furniture, at least the four post lift and my cars should be over. It will fill up pretty fast
