Upgraded garage accomodations for the new streetrod (pics)

[vettesplus]

After needing to bend down to walk under my 34 Pontiac on my lift so i decided to pop the ceiling in my garage. 4 days later it is done except for final mud coat, sanding and paint.....
9' x 14' and 20" tall, 10' 3" ceiling to 12' coffer

Started with this...

Plenty of clearance with the vettes...


First day of tear-out...




Box out recess and remove trusses...



Relocate wiring and heat ducts...


Install insulation...


hang drywall...




Bullnose edging, tape and mud...



Trial Fit....like a glove...


Walk under her without even touching my head...

Looks terrific, great job! Will you be adding any lighting in that recession?

Great lookin' rod and nice reno.
That's gotta be a two man job right there. One to do there work and the other to operate the lift!

Now I see you for what you really are.

Both look good. I did the same for mine about 5 years ago when I put the lift in my shop.

Great use of space on all "custom" ceilings !!

OP (Vettesplus), I see you have forced-air ducts distributed across attic to perimeter of garage. That's too nice!! What HVAC system do you have, and is that attic mounted as well??

Curious why no vapor barrier that I can see installed before the bump-up was sheetrocked over in ceiling. . . why not??

yes i have a 92% forced are furnace mounted in the attic, vented to 11 different locations around the perimeter of the garage. no reason for vapor barrier in garage that is not under living space.
