Those are very nice...all the better from which to work on & ogle your sharp Coupe. Great job!
Looks as if you already have undercabinet lighting. Don’t know if you are going to do recessed ceiling lights, but if not, I have several fluorescent fixtures from a previous project. If you would like them, they are yours for the asking. One can never have too much light for a midnight thrash…lol! What type of floor treatment are you planning?

Thanks John. I added a few cheap 13" GE undercabinet lights that I picked up at Home Depot to add some more direct lighting to my work bench. Since I wouldn't dare brave electrical work, I opted for the kind that plug in. Not nearly as clean having the wires exposed like that, but it's just a work space, right? Depending on the type of fixtures you have and how easy they are to add, I might be interested. I'll probably leave the recessed lighting to the interior of the house anyway. As for flooring, I'm going back and forth between epoxy and the race deck tiles. I doubt I'll be in this house more than a couple of years, so I hate to pay for the next guy's epoxy floor. At least with the tiles, I can just remove and take them with me. It's the same reason I opted for modular cabinets that I can just haul away when I move.

Since I don't expect that any of you (except Flip) knew what my garage looked like before, I guess that wasn't really fair. Anyway...I've begun modding my garage and started off with some cabinets. I came across the BBKlock and thought it would make a nice addition, so sorry for teasing you guys the last couple days. Here's what I've got so far...
- UltiMATE garage cabinets/workbench
- BBK Wall Clock
- Husky Air Compressor
- Husky Power Washer
Up next... flooring, lighting, paint...

Suuure Frank...no fortune cookie for yoo!
Thanks Shake. I've heard bad things about painting concrete, especially if it's not prepped well. That would be my cheapest option by far, but I'd rather leave it alone than have problems. We'll see...

caliper clearance is nuts, i had only about jus as much with my mrr's we didnt think it was going to make it, but sure nuff they spun.

Hey Blake,
Just dropping by to say love the garage and the clock. Geez, you're definitely not a pack rat like most people. You got nothing in the garage!
As for the car, it gets better with every mod you make. Hope to see it in person one day. Photos probably don't do justice.

Blake,
big fan of clean and uncluttered garages...
as for the floor, check out U-Coat-It. Just do a Google search for U-Coat-It
it's a do-it-yourself job but pretty easy to do in 48 hours.
Price is under $500 for a 2-car garage, and included the prep solutions, video instructions, no-peel paint, etc...
If you've seen pics of my garage, that's what I used.
I love it.
