finished stripe. I am really satisfied. use the green tape called frogtape or something like that. the edge is super clean. cant tell in pic though

 

[madmanmerc]

Got to finish the red stripe on the other side today. Have been very busy lately so I haven't been able to get much work done lately. Hopefully next week will be better.

Looks great man[emoji106] [emoji106] single builds are the most interesting. I'm closing on a house with a tiny 10x20 and have been all of the forum gathering ideas. I look forward to seeing your progress[emoji481]

[madmanmerc]

The Mercedes will be comong home hopefully this weekend. It was at my friends restoration shop for a while. I got the whole passenger side done, quarter, rocker, floor, inner wheel well. Welds are super clean, you will never be able to tell it was redone. should have some pics within the week

welding floor in Mercedes

 

[madmanmerc]

you wont believe the amount of work it takes to put in a floor

 

[dubber]

Thanks for the kind words Dubber, coming from the single garage god that you are, it means alot

Wow, very kind of you.

 

[madmanmerc]

Ill be honest dubber, your single is what gave me the inspiration. After seeing what you did with a single, made me realise I can do it also

 

[madmanmerc]

worked on cutting my stair to fit compressor, and try to upload pics from my camera, but my daughter put a quarter in memory card slot on laptop. Now it doesn't work. anyways, will figure something out

 

[madmanmerc]

thanks for the kind words josh662234. will be looking forward to your garage rebuild

 

[madmanmerc]

haven't had time for a while to work in garage, but today did some work in there. started filling in the cabinets. look pretty good and am very happy

 

[madmanmerc]

I bought a light switch cover today. its stainless steel. I only bought 1 so I can try it out, really like it though. Will go and buy the rest tomorrow

 

[dubber]

/\ Nice touch. I did the same thing in my current garage. The little upgrades are fun, cheap and make the difference.

 

[madmanmerc]

true dubber. I went and bought some more for the plugs and the rest of the light switches. changes the whole look of the garage

 

[madmanmerc]

started putting up some pictures. have to go to target this weekend to get some more frames.

 

[madmanmerc]

the frame on the top right is my Mercedes by the way lol. god I miss her. cant wait to bring her home

 

[madmanmerc]

started painting the stairs. I had to cut it also to fit the compressor. will be going to get a dimond plate cover for the stair this weekend along with a corner piece

also painted the grinder stand.

Perfect time to do the garage while the car is getting fixed up. Once its ready the garage will be ready to keep her safe. I fixed up my single a few winters ago while my GLI was spending its last winter stored at my buddies place.

BTW love the mod on the stairs. A true mod for a single garage, every inch helps!

 

[madmanmerc]

I actually got a nice piece of diamond plate for the stairs. will be installing it this weekend.

 

[madmanmerc]

just installed the diamond plate on the stairs but having problem with phone so I cant upload pics.

 

[madmanmerc]

so I got my cam working.

 

[madmanmerc]

next step is to put some kind of lip on the stair. just cutting the stair and stuffing the compressor up against the wall saves so much space, keeps things in order

 

[madmanmerc]

added a corner piece. love the way the stair turned out

 

[madmanmerc]

decides to clean up the toolbox. it was a mess. didn't think it was going to be such a big job

 

[dubber]

Stair look great. Are you planning on doing anything for the floor?

 

[madmanmerc]

the plan for the floor is to either do an epoxy or racedeck. leaning towards racedeck. but it will have to wait because of the Mercedes restoration. though I love that car, its costing way to much money.

 

[madmanmerc]

so I got my Mercedes back. will post some pic of her in garage soon
