Well all moved in. Started working on my cars. First project, I installed exhaust tips on the 63 coupe. Next I replace my volt gage in the 63 dash and hooked up the steering column . Can you believe it ,I have turn signals, brake lights and all that stuff. Ill be driveing the 63 soon. :shocking:

I almost forgot, We poured the 12x20 pad on the rear of the building for my tool room extension. Should be hammering nails soon. The room will enclose my air comp, work bench, band saw ,sand blast cabient and etc. :beer::pimpflash

Forgot someone asked, I used two part expoxy on the floor from Home Depot worked great.

Very nice garage, and the cars are fantastic!:thumbup:

I really like your ceiling heater and I assume it is gas?

Would you mind sharing the brand, how well it works, and the rough dimensions of the space it heats?

Best wishes in your new location!

Looks like you have the space to do multiple projects at the same time! - LOL! Now where is your next project?
