I was surprised to see my shop in your pics. Thanks! I had completely forgot that I posted those on GarageJunkies.net before doing a repaint last summer. I never took any after pics, but on Boxing Day I was bored and played around with some low light pics of the car... they show a little of the new look.

Well not being one to leave things alone.

I finally decied to spent some money to finish up the curtain to seperate the front half of the garage.

I made a quick call to the guy's at Goff's Enterprise and they helped me order up the right Curtain Wall. It's a really nice piece, my only regret was not ordering it sooner.

I order the 2 curtain in two complete tracks so the curtains could pass by each other on seperate tracks. This allows me to keep half the garage covered at all times. re: hide the project car from street view.

first thing to do is hang the tracks

then hang the curtains on the rolling hooks

and about 20 minutes later it's done

I ordered mine with a clear panel in the center so I could see out to the driveway and not feel like I was in a small garage.

here is the number just in case anyone's interested. I worked with Ed and he was a pleasure to work with.

In the end it took about 90 minutes to install by myself. My wife actually likes it because it make the garage look much cleaner.

thats a cool addition! but a lil contradictory since you got the clear centers to see out... that means the project car CAN be see from the outside.

It's really odd - from outside the garage you can see something but since your at a distance it's hard to seen in.

Back to working on the Garage again. Like I said getting ready for the next project car.

I needed space for Parts and Tires. The plan is to suspend a shelf even with the attic area.

Dennis at Hi-Speed Welding (( www.highspeedwelding.com )) ordered me some heavy wall
2 x 2 Square tubing and welded tabs on the ends.

Spent about 2 hours sanding them smooth, getting them ready for paint.

All painted in Chassis Black

Picture of the center support brackets that will tie into the ceiling

I hung the first 20 footer, man is that hard to do by yourself. You can also see that the
center supports are already hung. Okay that was also a pain in the butt.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...Garage_020.jpg

There are three 3/8" lag bolts that tie the center supports in the ceiling rafters. I had to put in
two extra boards in the attic to anchor the center support.

Okay the shelf is up.
The center will be used for Tire Storage and the corners will be used for parts storage.

Still to do is build the uprights and I this time I am going to have the center supports
