The Chevelle has been freshly painted original Marina blue. It has a 427 big block, upgraded turbo 350, 12 bolt posi with 4.11 gears, all new bushings (suspension and body), new brake and fuel lines and Baer brakes with 18" Budnik's. The Nova you can see in the background is waiting patiently...

I have a 1967 Chevelle and a 1967 Nova. I will snap a couple pics of the cars for you that will also show what the floor looks like now. I'll try to post them up later today.

Just wanted to post a follow-up. Hard to believe it's been over 4 years since we put down our epoxy floor! It is holding up amazingly well. I sweep and mop it about 3 or 4 times a year, more if I'm doing more work in the garage and it still has its shine except for a few places that I...

It says it's a water-based epoxy...everything I've read says 100% solids epoxy is better than water or solvent based epoxies. Just my input, I'm no expert.

My dyma-serts were anywhere from 1/4" to 1/8" and amazingly they only had 5, not 6. Told me to use a stone in place of the 6th dyma-sert, tried that but it wasn't working so I used the 5 dyma-serts with no stone, with my 150lb son standing on the machine and that was the best I could get it to...

I tried the medium coarse stones and found them to work very slow on my floor. Went back and paid the extra $120 and got the dyma-serts and they worked much faster. I did 660sq ft and it took me and my son about 14 hours. Hopefully yours will go a bit faster. Good luck. It wasn't hard, but...

Thanks...Yeah I saw your post on that and thought, "heck, mine can't possibly take that long then" lol...I simply ground until the concrete was lighter gray and rough to the touch. It worked fast in some areas, slower in others. I'm thinking maybe the areas that ground slowly were lower than...

Thank you. I researched grinding too and found a few different opinions as to the time involved in grinding. I was hoping to finish the grinding in one day, but had to finish on the second day. This is the first time I've ever done a project like this so quite possibly someone more familiar...

The house is about a year and a half old with no oil stains or cracks. I didn't have to grind it but from everything I've read, and per Tony at epoxymaster, grinding is superior to acid etching and I want the coating to last a very long time.

Thanks...the joints don't have much epoxy in some areas, for some reason it's more noticeable in pictures than in person. When we started cutting in the edges, I did one joint but soon realized it was taking too long and my expansion joints are pretty big. I think it looks fine as is and chose...

Thanks for all the knowledge on this board, it helped me out immensely. Now I'm a little nervous about bringing in the next project car...a 1967 chevy II Nova 2 door hardtop. :3gears: Been pretty **** about keeping the floor nice lol. A few more pics...made sure we took plenty. The grinding...

Still learning how to post pics....:beer:

Just wanted to share some of my experiences with laying down some 2 part epoxy on a garage floor. After spending many hours on here reviewing others experiences, I decided to try it myself. Prepping the concrete was by far the hardest part. My son and I spent approximately 14 hours grinding...

Any feedback on the grinding process? I'm picking up an edco dual disc grinder friday morning to prep my 3 car garage.
