Nice garages! I barely have room to open both doors in my narrow 1-car nightmare!

And...Tom--Even your tire treads are clean! Love the look of the shiny red with phone dials!

I gotta get me a set of 16" phone dials...maybe to use as winter wheels or something. I love the way our cars look with them!

 

Racedeck pricing is all over the map I've learned. I can't remember exactly what I paid anymore, but I think is was just over $3sq/ft. Installation is a snap, literally. I do work on my car in the there, and the white tiles do get dirty, but they generally clean right up.

 

Tom, Any larger pix? I am planning a complete garage redo in the Spring and I like your work benches...I think. Are they store-bought or did you make them your self? Hard to tell from the small shot to posted. Very nice work by the way.

 

Here is a picture of the bench, cabinets, and shelves. My brother is a contractor, so they are all made from scratch...just not by me.

 

VEry Nice Tom.....

How much was that pro jack?? Looks like a NASCAR pit crew jack!

 

Got the jack at Sam'S CLub for $130....Its very nice, double pump, alluminum, and the lowrider feature is very nice, for jacking those extra low P-Cars....The main reason I purchased this jack is because I became sick of having to drive on blocks of wood to raise my car enough so I could get a jack underneath it...Now I just roll it right under there, 5 pumps and she is up there.....I was looking at the crewlines on E-BAy and I never saw one for under $200....So I thought it was a good deal...

You may notice a very similar jack in the corner of my garage. Got mine for the exact same reason. I got mine at Harbor Freight. Can't remember the price, but I remember it seemed dirt cheap at the time. Been working fine for two years.

You think Costco has those? I'm not a SAMs member.

Is it a twist to release jack? How fast does the car come down? I would hate to twist and have the car crash down, etc.

 

NICE daman, I have a magazine to show you. it has that racing deck stuff in it and the prices and different colores and styles and stuff.

 

Brett, YOu working tonight...? And the Jack is a twist type to release, and as far as the speed going down, well that depends on how much you turn the release.....It does not tend to crash down though....And did I mention It weighs so little....

Cool Damian! I should try and pick one of those up.

 

Hey Andy...Im at work here and I was just looking through my MAil And I just recieved the new Craftsman Club Ad...And on page 2 it looks like Sears has a 1 and a half ton, low profile, alluminum/steel, double pump for 99 bucks on sale....ANd it even has a magnetic lug tray built into it....Check it out...Looks like a great deal....

I just picked up that Craftsman myself... it's not "light" but it definitely works well and looks the part! Brandname decent, or other brand "super cool" for more $? Dunno what I'd do as I needed a Jack that day!

 

Damian,

Looks great! I'd like to drop by and check out your new house sometime. Are you going to be working on the car or garage tonight? I'm going to be in the area around 8. If it works for you PM the address and what sort of malt beverage you prefer so I can bring a housewarming gift. Otherwise we'll do it another time. Seeya,

Eric
