Hey guys, I have done things backwards so I've come here to make it right. I have wanted to build my own car since I saw one done in college. I finished my car last year in my third bay in my attached garage. Now I'm in the nesting stage and want to make it's home nicer. I came here looking for ideas on epoxy paint flooring and now I think I'm in trouble. I already have plans to build a new garage in the back yard.
Until I get to that I want to upgrade my garage. It's a 25X33 attached 3 car that needs a makeover. The walls and ceiling are painted but that is about it. I want to plaster the stairway to the basement and the exposed footings, epoxy the floor and put in cabinets (to store all my junk).
Finally the cars. I searched for and found a company that builds Shelby Cobra Replicas (because I can't afford an original). I came across a car for sale locally and took it for a test drive and HOLY **** I was hooked. That was the funnest car I've ever driven. It took me 20 months to build mine. It's been done for a little over a year and I've put 7300 miles on it. I built it as close to original as possible with a few creature comfort upgrades.
I had such a good time building it that I have already found my next project. It is a 1976 Nova with 37K original miles. It doesn't need much work but I would like to restore it.
Anyway here is a pic of the Cars.
Here is a video I made this spring of the first drive in the Cobra.
We took the Cobra to Southern Idaho this summer with some friends and here is the video of the trip.
