Got my garage about 90% done!

[JohnnyT]

Very busy Sunday for me. For the past couple weeks I've been working on getting posters gathered for the garage walls, and thinking of ideas for shelving. After I got all the frames hung yesterday, I set out to Home Depot and found a 5 tier shelf that can also be set up as a workbench. Whipped that together, put everything on, moved my chromed out shelf to the corner of the garage for softball/misc stuff. Final touches were throwing up the stereo, shelving for the diecast cars, and of course the Corvette flag.

I wanted to get the floor epoxy'd this weekend, but no one called me back on the concrete prep work (was going to contract it out) so I still have that left to do, and buy 4 fluorescent lights for the corners. All in all, it's nothing terribly fancy, but I wanted to keep it simple and cheap.

Lookin' good JT! The framed pictures definitely gives it a much more finished look. Do all those Ford pics mean there will be a Mustang parked next to the Vette sometime in the future?

Did you forget that JT is the proud owner of THE CLEANEST TCHICKEN IN THE MIDWEST?!

JT is a classy guy, he wouldn't own a mustang.

'eh...only two mustangs I'd ever own. One being an 87-93 GT which would take years to build how I'd want, and I don't have any of the tools to do it - or a '11 GT500, which I can't afford so the only Ford that will be in my garage for awhile will be my precious Tbird. My Dad is a very big Mustang fan - passed that down to me and reinforced it by buying me most of the Ford posters you see when I was a young chap.

So when do you want to install that header and pipe on my car in that big fancy garage? Exhaust is already on.

 

[JohnnyT]

Might be able to this weekend.

I'm actually a big Mustang fan at heart, but mainly the older ones. My favorite uncle collected them when I was a kid. He had 8 of them at one point, and he loaned me a '65 1/2 candy-apple red hardtop with a 3-spd stick for my Jr. prom. He also let me borrow a '68 rangoon red convertible for a weekend to take a chick on a weekend date. It's amazing the kind of attention you get driving a nicely kept classic like that. There was literally a crowd of 8-10 people around the convertible when we came out of a grocery store in Chetek, WI when we stopped for some provisions on our way up North. I'm with you on the '11 GT500, although my dream would be to stumble across a King Cobra for sale dirt cheap because someone doesn't realize what they have. I also wouldn't mind a glass-roofed Mustang, just for the novelty of it. 30yrs from now I think the glass-roofed versions will fall into the "amazing cars" classification. Gotta keep saving the pennies for the 'someday' weekend cruiser.

As much as I'd love to own an older classic, I just couldn't see myself driving it. It's too damn hard for me to keep something stock, and those cars just wouldn't be right for me. I do appreciate the hell out of them though.

Man for so much corvette paraphernalia you would think a fast corvette would be parked in that garage.
