I put a new box in my house and installed the old one in the garage, lots of room for circuits, plus I have 200 amp for the house and 100 for the garage.
Restoring the garage bay. Any garage ideas I should do to make life easier?

This is for information only and no disrespect intended.
It's not how many outlets you have, it's how many amps you have connected at the same time on each breaker. Each tool has a rated amperage. But you still don't want to have too many outlets on the same circuit. You could run a dozen on four different circuits and probably run several tools at the same time depending on the amps used.
And no I'm not an expert. I did wire my own house and learned a lot working with the electrical inspector. I passed the final inspection with his help. Lol.
The more items off the floor the better

I have plenty lighting, several hose reels, several cord reels, insulation, drywall, heat, A/C, storage shelves for all the extra parts. Large 220V compressor, small 110V welder, larger 220V welder, 3 hacks, 18 jack stands, tool boxes full of hand, power and air tools, beer fridge and a hoist with a winch.
I manage to get by with what I have.
The one thing I don't have that I need is a alot more room.

Looks like you're super well organized and l love that you have a hoist in a garage that most people think you shouldn't or couldn't do it!
It makes me rethink my options.
You need more stickers. ......and I don't see an A body.

Looks like you are a prepper by the looks of your NOS bottles!

I have my own filling station, 21 bottles and 4 mother bottles that can be seen on the left side pic. At 2 bottles per pass in one car and 2 other cars with spray with 1 bottle each. It doesn't last as long as you think it would.

Nice. I work for a GM dealer in Parts and our main warehouse is always hounding us for tote returns. Lol

Not sure how he gets them all. Several of us get them from him. He also does all the battery swaps and takes home all the cores. Stacks them all up in his second garage until he gets a truck load worth. His last trip was $3500 in core credit.
