Hello All!
Made some progress today on the garage. I discovered that a shelf unit (wood modular from Ikea, I think) the previous owners had built was leveled by resting the back legs against a foundation 'lip' coming out from the wall a couple inches, then screwing the shelving to the wall. A plank was screwed into the studs, then the shelving screwed to that.
I decided to take a similar approach. Over on the right side of the garage I assembled two of my Gorilla Rack metal units in a configuration that will support the timesaver layout along with a backdrop and lighting valance. Fortunately the shelving is sized such that I was able to just drill a screw right through holes in the uprights, through the drywall, and into the studs.
Pictures to follow after I clean up the mess from cleaning up the mess.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
