Looks like you will have adequate room hopefully, you can never have enough space. There's several older posts where members have shown pictures of their displays and toy rooms if you wanna check those out. I think I have some haphazard blurry pics up on my photobucket page under "collection pix". Display cases are a good idea to toss around. You can display figures, filecards, and smaller vehicles and not have to worry about dusting and cleaning. If your lucky you can find an outlet store or big box retailer closing its doors and buy them on the cheap, or you can order several varieties of glass and acrylic cases online. They do get expensive but it is well worth the investment if you plan on displaying/keeping your collection for years to come. Hope some of this helped and good luck.
since this is in the garage (not sure where you live) but heat and plastic dont mix. I would add a fan to circulate the air. with all the work you are putting in to it. keeping them at a safe temp should be considered. other then that it looks nice and glad to see another collection being set free from boxes and plastic bins
Your room beckons to be set-up similar to what Airedevon did in her "play room". Take a look.

Thanks for tips and ideas guys. I am adding a portable AC unit in the garage but I live in northern California and it doesn't get above 80 in the garage. Still, better safe than sorry. I made the display frames to fit all the figures made between 1982 and 1991 and plan on covering the front and back in clear acrylic to keep dust off of them.
Just saw that display "room". DEAR MOTHER OF GOD! Talk about feeling inadequate. That is simply incredible....
looks awsome! i want a room like this for restoring
You mean you guys haven't already seen her 18 episode web documentary of her collection????
Here is a link to the thread from another site. I tried to find the topic here, but the searches failed EPIC-ly.
