Hello everyone!
My garage story goes like this:
people i bought my home from thought it would be a good idea to vent their drier into the garage. Then all that moister made the drywall seams come down a few years after i bought the house. This is how i convinced the wife to let me fix this eye sore. Well i decided to go big and make a cool garage that is worthy of my new cool Z car that sleeps in it. the red white and blue can be for the good ol USA, or also Nissan used those colors in racing. I still need to do the floors pretty soon(after i save some more money). gonna doe black and white VCT with clear epoxy on top. enough with the gabbing here are the pics:

Great transformation :thumbup: It's too bad that the red stripe somehow couldn't have mimicked the checked stripe on the Z. Or you could always add another above it. Just a thought:bounce:

all hail king Richard! I hope you rerouted the dryer vent moist air and tools don't mix either.

yeah, that was one of the first things i did when i moved in.

The "King" Richard Petty, was given to me. used to be in my father-in-laws redwing shoe store he owned. funny thing is i'm not really a big nascar fan. I would rather have Evil Kenevil in one corner and The Stig in the other.(time to seach ebay, or anyone whant to trade? lol)

Thanks Kevin! thats a cool idea on the stripe thing. I cant wait to put the checkerd floor down, but i have to wait a little bit for the floor temps to reach around 50deg F. that will also give my wife a little while to forget how much i have invested in the garage so far. ($600 for paint and drywall, $170 for boombox, $25 for boombox shelf, and dont tell her yet but i just ordered the AUTOart 8pot big(15") brake wall clock! $97)
