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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

Thumbs up

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.

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. (nascar parties)

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.

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...
