And I covet your garage! I have an old single car garage currently holding my VW. Need to move!

lol, here in san antonio there is actually a place called "Nice rack" (and they don't sell tire racks)

the rims below, ..are drag dr 20...I think they are supposed to be replicas (knock offs) of Work Equip 03.

Yep. They might be "Knock Off's" but they make more sence to me than putting wheels on a street car that cost over $600.00 each!

...got from here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00..._cr_pr_pb_item

..but it looks as though the price has bumped up a bit (was only $35 + shipping) when I ordered.

oh wait, here's where I ordered through: same product but not through amazon...straight from supplier:

This is just before Halloween. I have a few more things to do like run the air lines, mount pull down air hose and get a beer frig for under the end of the work bench. It really wasn't all that expensive to do. I shopped around and got good prices on material. I have LEDs under the cabinets for the work bench. My wife did most of the painting. Someone said my garage was so clean it was obscene. LOL

I used Quikrete gray with granite flakes (2 per color kit) and the no skid, then I used the high gloss clear coat kit. Prep is the key to a good application. I spent hours pressure washing and etching the floor to make sure all the oil etc was off. Few pics during the project. I used the Race deck stuff to park the motorcycle on so no chance of the kick stands and hot tires screwing up the floors, probably not needed Im just ****.

Flooring looks good. I liked those mats right up until I spotted the little logos on them. Blech.

That logo has a lot of history behind it. HD has been making the coolest bikes around since before there where mini's.

Wonder if they could do other manufacturer logos. MINI wings would be nice.

Don't worry you don't have to get HD on the tiles
I got them from these guys, they ship FAST and they have good prices. The tiles are RaceDeck, nice product.
