    Metallic Epoxy Garage Floor - Making of the Lava Floor! (video)

    The main part of my garage got a metallic epoxy floor in 2016. I have done a ton of wrenching in there. I have patched quite a few chips from dropped tools/parts/etc with extra color/epoxy. The floor has held up pretty well for the last 9 years.

    Metallic Epoxy Garage Floor - Making of the Lava Floor! (video)

    See the process of converting an outdoor basketball court with no-slip epoxy to an amazing indoor garage “lava floor!” This video shows the prep to include grinding the slab, filling the cracks, two layers of epoxy primer with sanding after each, color sample boards my contractor made and cool...

    Outdoor basketball floor behind garage (it's slippery).

    Got the pm and replied, but posting here for all to see. The slab with the court should have been brushed and not polished. The guy that did my metallic epoxy floor inside the garage used a grinder on the court part of the slab followed by outdoor epoxy paint with added silica for grip. It’s...

    Quincy QT-54!

    The clamps weren’t needed... just there to keep the wood from sliding. It was quite stable.

    Yes, planning an auto drain out the side of the building. Funny, thank you.

    Quincy QT-54!

    Well, it’s been years in the making, but today I had a big frigg’n Quincy air compressor delivered with the plan to get it into the loft. This beast weighs 500 pounds, but it’s the reason I put the lift where I did and also the reason I had my electrician run 220 to the corner of a future loft...

    What are your opinions on lift drive in width?

    I have a 2-post Bendpak lift. I wanted to put the posts as close together as possible to keep options open for adding a 4 post lift and still have room between them to park a car. Because of this, I had my lift installed “backwards.” I back into the lift, which means my mirrors never pass...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    Very cool! I bought mine in ‘91 and daily-drove it for a long, long time. I put the white stripe on the car back in the 90s. This is my only vehicle I don’t drive. It’s awaiting a full restoration. Every time CJ Pony Parts has a sale, I load up on goodies and the parts mountain is BIG. I’ll...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    Success! I had to do a little project first... I ordered normal profile arms vs. low profile arms. The reason was after reading some reviews, I learned that although the low profile arms work better for sports cars, they don’t telescope as far as the normal profile arms and some owners...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    If you are talking about the anchor bolts... yes! They connected the top brace before drilling/installing the anchor bolts. As for what the install instructions say... I have no idea! That’s what I paid the pros for! :D My installer just came and torqued-down the last bolt that we used epoxy...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    That’s a good looking Mach 1! The car covers are all different. I have covers from Cover Craft and Cover King. They are the plush interior satin stretch type. The one on my 00R I got off eBay. I don’t normally cover my cars. My garage is usually pristine. I just covered them for this project...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    To be honest, I don’t recall the exact number. The guy gave me a super deal (compared to other quotes) and then used pictures of my place for his advertising. I had him do my 40x40 shop and then later do the back basketball area 40x22. It was somewhere around $8k +/- a couple grand for all of...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    I had the floor done by a floor-dude. He used a grinder to grind the new concrete. He then put a black epoxy primer down. Next was the base coat. It’s a blue metallic epoxy with a silver mist swirled into it. A combination of chemicals, a squeegee and a leaf blower moved the colors around. I...

    Got a Bendpak XPR-10AXLS lift installed today

    1989 Mustang GT vert I bought in ‘91. It’s the only one not on the road and is awaiting a full restoration. A mountain of parts has been accumulating for a couple years. 1993 Mustang Cobra (Teal Metallic) 11,000 miles and still on it’s original tires. A total time capsule. Car looks and drives...
