Yeah, I got a crap load of pics back today.

Here is my new floor (and traffic light) :p

Bamm · 12-06-2002, 10:43 PM

Gonna be a nice crib...............Cool tank flames..........What colors are they?..........8-).........JB

*Shane* · 12-06-2002, 10:51 PM

aah Randy, you really don't need that old traffic light ... go ahead and pack it up and send over to me.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-06-2002, 10:59 PM

The light stays, get your own.

The tank is torqiouse green with light green flames, and overlapping caiman pearl green metallic flames and ten coats of Sherwin Williams clear.

*Shane* · 12-06-2002, 11:06 PM

oh well ... ya can't blame a guy for trying! LOL

Dads72 · 12-06-2002, 11:32 PM

The floor is great! What is it? Tile?
Was the concrete power-trowled? (sp)
I broomed the floor in my garage and it isn't perfectly level.
Now I'd like something like you have, but not sure if it's possible.

teeitup · 12-06-2002, 11:32 PM

Nice floor, my cousin has 10 of those lights in his fixed up barn, they are neat. Whats in the fridge?

guitarman · 12-07-2002, 12:26 AM

I like the floor is it individual squares?

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2002, 12:34 AM

Yep, individual squares. I had them power trowl the cement, told the builder that I was going to be tiling it. He got it as slick as glass.

I used industrial composite vinyl tiles and glue.

chevykid04 · 12-07-2002, 12:27 PM

you should rig up the light so it changes colors/ goes on when ya open the garage door and pull in and out, so when ya get super old and senile, just look and see if the lights red or green and whether its ok to pull out, hahaha, that or you could put stobes on it and turn it into a disco inferno paraphenalia

jay-dawg · 12-07-2002, 12:40 PM

or you can hook it up to those sensors that tell you when to stop if you get too close to the wall.

Tony · 12-07-2002, 01:16 PM

Ok Randy, how come your garage is cleaner than my living room, and I have to work on my trucks in an unheated barn?

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2002, 01:21 PM

Yeah, I got the heater running out there now. You should hear the stereo system I installed, I never have to leave the garage for anything. Oh, and the fridge that the Harley tank is on is full of Coronas and Michelobes!

6869704X4 · 12-07-2002, 01:31 PM

Will help work on trucks for beer.

barn9 · 12-07-2002, 01:36 PM

Good lookin' floor there Randy! Wish I was closer, I would come over and help you out with that fridge detail, then we could chase some girls, hehe! Are you going to insulate and finish out the walls? I just finished insulating and sheetrocking the workshop I built on the end of my garage, and the pilot light on the gas stove keeps it at 64 degrees. Makes it nice to be able to work on something in the winter weather. Wish I had all the room that you do though. Anyway, nice job on the shop man, and that flame job on your Mom's tank is very cool tool. Drink a cool one for me, LB.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2002, 01:50 PM

Thanks Barn, I'm going to insulate the walls and finish them off with white pegboard. The wirings hanging down are for 8 foot florescent lights (5 of them) downstairs, and 2 upstairs. Then all I have left is to find a place for the colored TV I have waiting to go in.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2002, 01:57 PM

Here's another:

*Slams_58* · 12-07-2002, 02:40 PM

Hey Randy where's your model A. You ship it out to Tim already?

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2002, 03:19 PM

Yeah, you think I was kiddin? (it's in my other garage)

**old Rusty C10** · 12-07-2002, 07:38 PM

gee and i was happy to get a house with one garage here for one car so i can work on my projects.... i want more than one garage!!!!! ( and some beers too)

NSANE68!!! · 12-08-2002, 12:02 AM

GREAT LOOKIN FLOOR!!! I want to do the same thing in my next house. But I was thinking industrial floor paint, you know for all the welding and grinding sparks. I know my current garage is floor is pretty burned now.

low 84 · 12-08-2002, 07:34 PM

sweet floor. will oil stain it? i don't think i'll ever have a truck that dosen't leak a lil oil. member LOHRTBT has a cool garage floor too, i dunno if hes got pics of it though

*Randy70C-10* · 12-08-2002, 07:40 PM

Thanks guys! As long as there's wax on it, it shouldn't stain. I still keep a thick piece of carbboard under the truck just in case.

**Palf70Step** · 12-08-2002, 09:13 PM

Anthing with walls would be real nice. Well at least my roof doesn't leak on me now when I am working on the truck.

Looks real good Randy.

As they say....some day...

Longhorn Man · 12-09-2002, 12:00 AM

Lookin sweet.
The fridge needs a flame job too. My wife said I'm nuts...but once I learn how to paint flames, I told her the computer towwer is beggin for a flame job.
I think I see a nice beater GMC out here beggin to be a practice canvis.
