sorry Ive not responded sooner , life keeps ya hoppin! I will get the name of my sealer to day. Clean up on the fresh concrete was easy. They powertroweld the floor to a dark marble like finish. It swept real nice.

8am Andren started to pour our floor. by 11am all the concrete was down. 2 power trowels ran for 3 hrs. from 12 am to 3pm. by 4 pm they had the saw cuts done. by 5pm we had the first coat of sealer on. In the morning I will spray the second coat :drool:

What a great build! Thanks Mike for posting all your hard work. :thumbup: KBS

bchee yes ,, eyeballing the center has been working just fine. Ive made small adjustments up and down . Turn car side ways, loosen set bolts and slide it .

the upside down T assembly allows the car to be adjusted up ,down,left and right inrelation to the point of rotation. Nuts are welded to the sliding brakets 3/8 x 2" bolts used as set screws.

I have found white tarps at local fleamarkets. or online. I had alot of 18" patio block left after filling in our pool they work great as a floor. This setup works real nice for painting.
