Moving...getting a shop

[ErichZ26]

I am moving into a 2400 square foot shop in NW suburban Chicago.

This will give me a chance to do some mechanical work on my personal cars and develop and produce some new products.  

MOST of my work will be ebay, since i no longer have any garages other than storage lockers I am hoping with a little work I can have some success in turning over a vast inventory i have accrued over the past few years.


The shop is heated, has 20ft ceilings and is recent construction.   It comes with a lift a very nice air compressor office.  It is very well lit, the office is heated and a/c.  The owner had set this up as a hot rod shop a few years ago before getting a heart attack and getting out.

As usual, i will specialize in GM FWD and spefically Beretta's
Though i do not expect to grow in this area.

I can now get some of my shop equipment i have been collecting.    I will be buying fuel injection/injector tools testers, and cleaners and will provide this service.

I will get photo's as we get setup.  There will be an open house sometime later this year.

Sounds awesome, I'm looking forward to pictures and also the open house sounds pretty cool.

Congrats on the shop, which suburb you moving to?

Did you get the shop from the guy that Ive met that liked to pull 350's, and helped out with Stephs headers?

Will you be setting up a dyno?  How about tuning services for OBD1 and OBD2 (Dyno tune maybe?)?  
Congrats on the building and hope to see it expand real soon.
