they are hallway runners. the ones in the old section are vinyl & i like a lot. the new section has rubber because i couldn't find the vinyl anymore. i thought the rubber would be o.k. but the longer i go the less i like it. i have my eyes peeled for the vinyl to show up sometime. i can get the vinyl with wider ribs but not the narrow that i like.
ya, ha, ha it's a PROBLEM i can live with. thanks again.wow. what a garage. major props. Not that I would consider it a huge problem (with all those vettes) but I bet it takes almost 10 minutes to get the top, inside car out. By the time you back the two bottom ones out, then drop the lift and back out the one you want, and then drive the two other vettes back inside, you've spent 10 minutes just getting your ride out.

i know, i know. don't feel bad, half to three quarters of people are scatching their heads too
, then when i tell them it's like...oh ya! that would work, what was i thinking, LOL. no worries, at least your honest.
thanks again for all the kind words guys, appreciate it
i didn't start with a clean sheet of paper & undisterbed earth, house was built in 1970, like some on here that i drool over. just did what i could with what i had, space, regulations etc. you know the drill. i can't say too much about the blue oval boys since i build my share of them. my Stingray is a 76 with a fiberglass nose & tail based off of the 1980-1982 design. really changes the car. street legal pump gas deal with a small block i built, naturally asperated non-tubbed, non-trans. brake car. full interior, power windows & such. best so far is 9.11 E.T. @ 151 MPH. works o.k. but a bit more in it yet.well my old section is standard 8 foot. i'm sure your meaning the new section though, it's a true 10 foot. good clearance. the rear car has tons. the front car because of the operater not as much, still o.k. though. could get more if i turned the car around, nose in, so the operater is above the hood instead of the roof of the car, but i like them facing this way. today i would go for Liftmasters NEW 3800 series side mount operater. wasn't avalible up here yet when i was doing this deal. the ZR-1 logo i had my sign shop i deal with do it. took a little bit but they did a really good job of it. the ZR-1 is a decal & the stripe i painted myself. if anybody wants there is more pictures on the ZR-1.netregistry, forums, website. search-LOGO or WARNING:don't veiw if you don't like red. two threads i started relating to the garage & build up
secrets? well i clean three or four times a day. i have a built in vacuum piped into both sections & i wear out attactments, LOL. i work at my own pace on my schedule so when it's time to clean, i clean. i don't do any of my porting, block clearancing or engine painting here. i have another bay for that stuff.
had to go count the lights ha, ha. i have 4 two bulb four footers & 23 two bulb eight footers all with electronic ballests. not 100% sure what you mean regarding cabinets & counter tops? the white cabinets on the walls & one or two beside the sink are from Home-Depot that i built/integraded into my benches. the main benches i built & the black on top is vinyl hallway runner that i cut & glued down. works pretty good. truthfully my 9 second car should be an 8 second car but i have been spending so much time the last couple of years on customer engines that my ride gets pushed to the side. i always want to make sure the customer stuff is done first. thanks for the commentsnice to see a garage with enough lighting you can work in!!!
how many lights total do you have?
also, where did you get your white cabinets with the black counter top? i'm looking for the same
excellent setup! and complete respect for the ZR1! and sbc in the 9's without boost or bottle!
