Your Garage, Your Story: Frank Weaver's space to work on his muscle cars

In his Georgetown garage, Frank Weaver has a lift with a ceiling inset to accommodate his vehicles, including this pair of Chevrolets from different eras: a 1962 Corvette and a 2004 SSR. See more photos online at statesman.com/cars.

Frank Weaver's home is known to neighbors as the house with the garage.

The basics: This Georgetown garage is about 32 feet by 34 feet.

Mission: The space allows Frank Weaver to work on his collection of muscle cars.

The project: The garage and house were designed at the same time. Jimmy Jacobs was the builder, with Mike Moss as the superintendent. Wylie-based Performax Trailers installed the aluminum cabinets and toolboxes. Georgetown-based Town Square Floors installed the flooring. Air lines are routed in the walls, with air line hose reels in the ceiling. A Halon fire suppression system is mounted in the ceiling and attic storage.

What's inside: The space has air conditioning and heat, a lift with a ceiling inset to accommodate large vehicles, surround sound stereo and a plasma TV.

Vehicles: A 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, '55 Chevrolet Nomad, '61 Pontiac Ventura, '04 Pontiac GTO and '04 Chevrolet SSR.

Reactions: In the neighborhood, it is known as the house with the garage. Most parties wind up with the guys (and a few gals) in the garage. A neighbor's daughter recently asked to shoot her engagement photos in the space.

Material provided by Frank Weaver.

Nice garage. Nice toys. Someone in Georgetown should contact Frank to see if he know about Fanatics.

The Vette is not a 62. Looks to be a C5 rebodied to look like a 62. Nice conversion.

I have a nice garage but nothing like that. Also, just have the SSR but no 62 Vette. That lift with the cut out in the ceiling of the garage is a great ideal.

I thought so. Nice. Be patient another two years and the R/E market will be better.
