Looks good, but if it is to scale, I would try to make the overall shop a little wider, at least 5 feet, it just looks tight to me.

It is to scale. Tight is relative... working out of a 2 car garage for the last 7 years... that's been tight. Here is my current setup, but there are 2 fieros in there right now with the metal table parallel with the mill.
Prior to my relocation to KY 7 years ago, I had a 24x60 pole barn with concrete floor and a 3000 sq-ft commercial building... that was too much space and I collected a bunch of crap. This new garage will be a huge improvement to my current setup, while fitting within the constraints of where I want to place it on the lot, as well within my budget. I also plan to add heat/AC to it in a few years, so having it "big enough" will help keep the utilities at a manageable level.

I see what you mean, and I've never had a shop that was "too big", my last "shop" was a 1.5 car garage full of crap. it looks well thought out, what materials are you planning to use?

The shop layout looks great! It would be cool if you could put the wall between the paint/clean room and the shop on wheels or make it so it couls be moved. The paint room looks a good size to paint a Fiero but if you was going to paint something like a pickup or something larger it might get a little tight. You could push the wall back toward the paint room when not it use and make the shop space bigger.
Just a thought.....

I will likely put in a urinal and a wash sink. Anything more and its time to go to the house.
I am planning for there to be some loft space over the machine shop area for parts and a sleeping bag if you want to come up.

The drawing was done last year when I purchased the house, and before the LS4/F40 car was running. I was hoping to build the garage in 2013, but that just wasn't in the cards with all the other expenses last year and early this year. Still on track for 2014 though.

I am in a relatively nice subdivision with some community rules. One of them is that any additional structure is to be built with the same materials as the house and be 50' off the road (house is 75' off the road). There are other houses with pole barns, but mine will be about 55' from the road and don't want to press my luck. So it will be stick build with vinyl siding to match the house. The windows in the clean storage bay will be like the ones on the house to help tie everything together. I am planning 1" of concrete wall above the floor, then 10' walls.

I have had 3 alcoholic beverages in my lifetime, and last year I gave up soda/pop. Water is about all I drink and I really don't care for it to be colder than what comes out of the tap... so no fridge.

The wall will likely be fixed as I would like to use the room above that bay for loft storage. I may add some more doors (like the machine shop bay has) to make it more accessible. But for 99% of the time, it will be the parking space for the LS4/F40 car. Part of the agreement with the new garage is my wife lays claim to the current attached 2 car garage for her car and all the girls bikes and other stuff. So my Fieros either have to be parked inside or sit in the driveway.

ever consider pocket doors? they would free up a good bit of space for you. ------------------
