Or one of them anyways. I also tried to fix the A/C and we installed the new intake manifold on BBblondie's 69. I need to quit my job so I can get more done at home :)

I can't beleive I haven't done this before. It looks awesome. Now the hard part begins. I have to move all the "stuff" and lay it in the other parts of the garage......

COOL!!

What did you use for the tiles? Did you have to prep the floor in any way?

They're just the cheapo PVC vinyl peel and stick type tiles. The floor was in good shape to begin with ( no bumps or holes) so I just swept it and stuck'em down. What you see about one bay took about 45 minutes. Too easy !

How much where all of the tiles. I'm planing on doing the same in my shop.

14.95 for 45 tiles or 45 square feet. I have a 600 sqft garage and I bought an extra box of each color for when I destroy some of them as my garage is a "working" garage and the total came to ~$260

Somehow I don't picture them tolerating welding or solvents well........

They will also quickly get discolored and indentations under the tires.

BTW, the floor looks great. :thumbsup:

Just be sure to get some carpet samples to park on.
