Ok, so I just went through your ENTIRE thread.. and wow what a journey! 
Great job! Your garage kind of reminds me of a garage a buddy of mine had. He was a VW guy too, that started doing car show's with his car, and then got into detailing and car restoration, which of course turned into a career. His work garage was very useful of space in every corner, and details were NOT skipped. GREAT job on your garage, you are another person from GJ that has inspired me. I'm a little embarrassed to post pics of my mess at this point. But hey, we all have to start somewhere right?
Oh and I see you decided to not put the sticker on the garage door..

Thanks for taking the time to read through my entire thread. Great comments as well thanks again!
Yes that sticker placement was stressing me. I think since the delivery took so long i had way too much time to over think it. Well that and the spot i had planned to put it in was poo poo'd by wifey so that through me off lol...
I'll mirror what Mike said below, start up a thread, you will see its extremely contagious. There is no chance i would have thought my garage would look the way it does when i started it. The project took on a life of its own and through all the kind words, suggestions and commentary on here, you will really benefit from the motivation. Tons of pics are a necessity and make sure to post before pics. They are just as important i find, but often forgotten.

Actually, I was just kidding. I was playing up the fact that you always find better deals than me.
All this talk from Rick and the "Crown Molding King" aka Umberto about garage door track railings reminded me about a little project i wanted to tackle. I wanted to trim the rails down almost a foot on each size but i wasn't sure what tool to use. Some nice GJ suggestions led me to have at er with a good old fashioned hack saw.
Here's a quick cell pic before.

And now the other side

Its much better on the storage bag side as its easier to access things in there.

Hey, that came out nice and clean, you use a hacksaw? Because I'm impressed how straight and clean they look. You must've really taken your time, because if I took a hacksaw to them they would've never looked that good, there's a reason it's called a 'hack' saw. Nice job!

Thanks dude, yes i did it carefully and pretty slow, then did a little polishing of the ends. Its quite the arm workout for sure, at least i had 'Con Air' playing on the TV to give my arm a breather between rounds. Glad i went with the hack saw approach, which i think you suggested.

Glad it worked out. Nice job on polishing the ends, details matter. If you had used a sawzall you would've never got such a clean cut.mike_81

They sure do. How far are you from Hamiltion mike_81? I have distant relatives there. Haven't been there in years, would like to go there again one day.

Dubber,
Just a curiosity question: where the tool box has been sitting in the same spot for awhile (and I assume loaded with tools?) has it resulted in little depressions or divots in the Racedeck where the casters rest?

I can chime in on this one. I've never seen divots from heavy items resting atop FreeFlow tiles. I have seen a nick here or there on my tiles, but that's more a result of me moving heavier items around.

Yes that was a pic taken pre last nights monumental change hehehe.
Its funny now that i look at it, at that angle the rails would have only been marginally noticeable.

Hey, it's hard to pick out something wrong with your garage so when anything minor comes up...

apparently some elderly person tripped and fell, cutting their neck (in a really bad way) on some scaffolding
John M saw, ran over and applied pressure to the wound until paramedics arrived.
