Wow, what's the size of that garage? It looks like you could get 6 cars in there and still be able to walk around them. :thumbup:

OHEKK · Aug 18, 2005

Just kiddinig:

That's not a garage...That's a dance hall!

Very nice! I like the chain hoist!

By the way, is a Cobra in your future?

or isn't there room?

Thanks for sharing!

sca037 · Aug 18, 2005

Very nicely done Jason!

It looks like you've parked the vehicles on pads that are on top of the flooring, which I haven't seen before.

Welcome to the site,
Brian

jason427 · Aug 18, 2005

As far as the flooring. I really like it, BUT.... it stains when rubber tires sit on it.
I originally looked into Racedeck but wanted something smooth that had a shine to it. I went with VCT like the stuff you see in grocery stores, only black and white. It is real easy to sweep out, but the staining from the tires kind of *****. The mats are ribbed length-wise so sweeping them off is a snap as well as rinsing them off.

ranger_dood · Aug 18, 2005

So what car do you have that requires the chain hoist? I don't see you pulling the Viper or Hummer apart anytime soon

Great looking garage... I could live in there and still have plenty of room for cars...

jason427 · Aug 18, 2005

Ive done a couple of Frame-Offs in the past, and a FFR Cobra. Those require the hoist-action. Not sure if I will be doing anymore work like that due to injuries, but you never know, I thought Im only building a garage like this once so I should put everything I could think of in.

Damn nice garage! Are the bottles for the viper? :rocker:

jason427 · Aug 18, 2005

Yeah,
It makes 800ftlbs of torque at the rear wheels on the bottle :rocker:

Jason

OHEKK · Aug 18, 2005

OH...That's a soda machine sitt'n there!

I thought it was an ATM!

Still got the Cobra?

BulletTime · Aug 18, 2005

Love the rides, the floor, the french doors (very classy), the cabinets...everything. Two garages the size of mine could easily fit into your space. Must be great for entertaining! :beer:

jason427 · Aug 18, 2005

Unfortunately the Cobra had to go for the Viper.

I can only afford one sports car at a time.
It was awesome though. 556rwhp and only 2180lbs.

MXtras · Aug 18, 2005

Very impressive - what else can 'we' say. I don't think I could work in a space like that, though....my clothes would get the floor dirty.

Where did the cabinets and such come from, if you don't mind my asking?

Scott

jason427 · Aug 18, 2005

The cabinets are Gladiator. Sears/Lowes can special order them.

Jason

comquat1 · Aug 20, 2005

Did you lay an acrylic floor finish down on your floor for protection? If so, did you mix in glass beads to keep it from getting slippery when wet? If there is floor finish on it, how frequently do you plan on stripping it out?

smooth72 · Aug 22, 2005

Jason,
Love your garage :rocker:

and your toys, do you remeber the the specs or size of beam and what is your hoist rated at . I was thinking about putting one in my garage but it would have to span 40ft

jason427 · Aug 23, 2005

Im not sure on the I-beam size anymore. I know there are sites that have the specs you need for a given span with maximimum weight cababilities. I went undersized what the specs said for the lifting ammount I wanted because they figure your lifting all the weight in the dead center. So moving the load to one side or other would dramatically increase the ammount you could lift. Or if I was worried I could stick a temp. brace while lifting really heavy loads.

Redlinerobert · Aug 27, 2005

Stunning! Great job!

thump186 · Aug 28, 2005

man i wouldn't even want to drive across a floor like that.

Broncobilly · Feb 11, 2006

Nice garage :rocker:

Ever run into Billy Lane (Choppers Inc.) around your neck of the woods?

Broncobilly

slads · Feb 13, 2006

Jason, Sweet garage! What are the dimensions?

Mike

SILVERPLATE · Feb 17, 2006

Awesome!!!!

ati2de · Feb 17, 2006

Yup, THAT is a totally magnificent garage, in fact IT was the inspiration for the french doors I decided on adding to my new addition (underway as we speak). Thanks for sharing.

I cant even describe how COOL that is. :bowdown:

I'm also in the middle of building a FFR COBRA.. :rocker:

dman302 · Feb 19, 2006

That's really a fine garage!! I love my gargage, but I think yours is my new favorite.

It looks like the Maytag Skybox. I know Home Depot used to have them a year or two ago. Not sure if they still do.

Kevin54 · Aug 2, 2006

Good eye Luke. I read that and thought ??? I went back and seen them after that. Very nice garage Jason!!

jason427 · Jan 22, 2007

I have not been around for a while.

The soda machine is Maytag Skybox. Very cool, but they break easily and are not real fix-able. I had it replaced once under warranty. I don't think they make them any more.

Jason

Christian143 · Jan 22, 2007

@ jason427
Are these VCT tiles from Armstrong?

"Classic Black" and "cool white" or "white"?
Look perfect

I have a Skybox now, got one from eBay for my garage. Just looked way too cool in this garage and I had to have one. They are discontinued now, and mine jams all the time, but I love it.

jason427 · Jan 22, 2007

30x40 I think... Its been a little while.

nwkpedro · May 21, 2007

Where did you get the mats???

cyclopsblown34 · May 21, 2007

Killer garage Jason. Of course the Viper doesn't hurt the appearance too much either.

CRAZYASTRO · Oct 30, 2007

wow! just seen this garage... NICE!!!

poorboy93 · Jan 31, 2008

RenegadeEngr · Jan 31, 2008

That is rediculous! Good job, I would eat dinner off that floor. Dang, I thought I was organized...

showroomgarage · Feb 1, 2008

Great job Jason, you have a killer looking garage. Who wouldn't want to hang out in that space?
