BuWahahahahahahahaha! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Health inspector finally post a notice? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Nice...you'll be amazed at how much more effecient it is. Funny thing is that I was just trying to describe your garage to George the other day. By the way...call him...he's got lots of project parts he's willing to get rid of.

[roadstar]

I just a new camera so I need to post something http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What IS wrong with this photo is that THIS is Photoshop®...
And what is the laundry basket doing out in the garage??

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I dont get it, is your garage normally really dirty?

[Crease]

Yeah Gooch Im known to have the dirtiest garage in all of south Texas (actually tied with HRH). It's not that I don't want it to be clean, just more projects than time. Finally got the coupe back together so I broke down and cleaned it.

Barnett,

Health inspector was okay with it, but the wife wasn't. What kinda projects we talkin about? Threw out half the damn garage, allllll kinds a room now!

[BARNETT]

Hey...where'd the lathe go?! Why's that stupid white 'fridge still there? What's with that boat anchor hanging there?

Gooch...dirty is a severe UNDERSTATEMENT! Crease doesn't waist time putting things back in the toolbox or on the shelf...it's kind of amazing that he is able to do such nice work, yet be such a slob. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Ahhh...you know I love ya Crease! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif By the way...when did you get a 40 Dodge? Oh wait...that was what was under that big pile!?! HAHAHAHAHHAA! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Crease]

Dan,

The lathe is right under the nonoperational flourescent lighting. Boat anchor? Can't you tell a Rocket from a 389? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Do I need to get Babs to post the "Kentucky waterfall" pic? I haven't been this offended since I saw the 20 inch penis post a few minutes ago. Im gonna go puke in a very offended and hurt manner now. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[BARNETT]

Oh...my mistake...I forgot the boat anchor was installed in the 33! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I still don't see the lathe, though. As for the Kentucky waterfall...you got no proof of nuthin! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I'm not even talking about that other thread....there's just some things I don't need to see.

[Evilfordcoupe™]

Dan,

Whats these car parts your talking about?????

Crease, I got some stuff for that nice clean garage of yours..

-Jason

[BARNETT]

I'll get a list. I know there's a pair of 40 Ford spindles. I don't remember everything George was mentioning. I'll call him tomorrow.

[TexasHardcore]

Atleast you guys HAVE garages...Mine's a carport built in the 40's...dirty, uneven black asphalt floor, spiders, lead paint, sparkplugs embedded in the blacktop... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[TexasHardcore]

Even my porch, where the SICKle is being prepped, is ugly! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Oh well...can't do much on a CHEAP rent house!

[CruZer]

Hey I just got a new camera,too. I was hopin' someone would ask for another garage pix.

[BARNETT]

See, Crease...lots of people can actually WALK around in their garage...ON the floor! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[zman]

Hmmmm. I can see my floor as well. Does that say something?

How durable is the floor paint that is sold @ home supply stores. I've seen the stuff that is tintable just don't know if it's worth the money. I have a 20'x40' shop that I gotta put some kinda finish on the floor. Any info would be appriciated.

[lesabre59]

BARNETT / Crease...tell me you dont have a pic sportin a Kentucky Waterfall...HEY..you just gave me an idea, i'll go get me one of them thar MISSISSIPPI MUDFLAP WIGS, dress my lil girl up as a can of ONE SHOT and i can trick-or-treat as BARNETT, haaahaaaaaaaaaa

[BARNETT]

Best pic I have as of yet of the garage. I'll post more pics later hust to show the depth(that's what I like to call it!) of my CARHOLE ;D Ther's a floor in there some where, I swear, Ther's a Hudson in there sideways as well. More pics later

[whodaky]

Baytowngreaser. I used a heavy duty paving paint from a paint supply. When we did the slab for my garage we put a pretty good finish on it, knowing I would be painting it, (Note it could have be finished even better, but was not necessary). When the cement was set a month or so it was etched with sulphuric acid ( a floor that is old has to be cleaned very well, seek advice and or carefully read instructions! note mine was new and still required the etching process, you buy the acid at the hardware and just scrub in on!) and then painted with two coats, by rolling and cutting in with a brush. This was around ten years ago and I recoated around 5 years ago. It really holds up quite well, it probably didn't really need recoating but I just wanted to freshen it up. I do serious work in my garage, although because it is painted I take a little more care when beating on stuff on the floor, usally take stuff out side where reqired. It just makes my garage so much nicer to work in and is so easy to sweep up. It can get a little slick if it gets wet. I usually give it a good mop out every few months.
Just a point I believe the best work does not necessarily come out of the best kept or layed out shops. Everyone one is different, I have just set mine up to suit me and I love it; I am out here all the time; even as I write this. Geoff aka Whodaky

I used the Epoxy Floor Paint available at my local Lowe's. It has lasted great so far. I just really need to clean my floor more. I still have one more section to do. The big thing is cleaning VERY thoroughly, it'll make all the difference...

Notice how the floor is in gloss but the car is not http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
