Designer Garage - Cyber Monday Gift Ideas for the Car Guy/Gal

We designed this garage for the person who likes to tinker with toys with motors. This garage also happens to be designed with special outlets for catering companies who will basically install a kitchen in the Garage for large catered parties, thus the restaurant sink. I found the flooring and Cabinets at an web order based company in Chicago called Car Guy Garage. This company has fantastic gift ideas for people into cars. The sink and sprayer are from a commercial restaurant kitchen supplier.  This is a great resource and a very cool site.

I know it sounds dorky, but it is really hip.

We Woke Up in Bed with Cha Cha

Meet Cha Cha, our classic 1964 T Bird Convertible. While working on interior design of our Scottsdale Arizona Home, we had some friends over for drinks who mentioned that they had Cha Cha and that she was for sale. Well, three martinis later, I heard the car wheels squeal as one of the guys went home to retrieve her. It was dark, she was sexy and she wore "jungle red". Let's just say, she wasn't pretty in the morning!

This "three martini" transaction began the process of a new "interior design" project to renovate this classic car. We chose to completely redo the interior upholstery, add air conditioning, and redo all of the faux wood veneer and interior chrome. Mechanically she was in pretty good shape, thank god,  except for the mechanism for the convertible top which we replaced as well.

We added a touch screen media player and reworked the speakers so that new speakers would pipe sound out of the original location of the speakers (up front and between the seats in the back). We gave up some sound quality, but avoided having cumbersome speakers on the door panels and retained the authentic look of this classic car.
