Man you guys are on a roll today! :lol:
Should I leave a piece of .5" pallet board for him to use as a wheel chalk? Seamed to work last time..........:faint:

You know it. :unibrow:


I'm assuming they will tell you when they are arriving so you can be there?

I will get a call. They gave Pete a call with a 48hr heads up to schedule a time.

Very cool.:yes:

Got a voice mail from the driver today! He started off by saying that Karma has the nicest body and paint that he has ever seen...and mentioned that he has seen a lot of nice cars! Way to go Pete! :thumbsup:

Weather permitting - he should be here Monday! He will call again as he gets closer.....that is it for now.....back to the regular scheduled program! :woot: :lateral:

Holy smokes Tony, that is so exciting!:cheers:

:woot: :woot:

Guess you'll be finishing your garage this week end EH!

Sweet!!! So much for getting any sleep for the rest of this week .lol

Yep! I have been working on it every day and if I stay on schedule I will be ready...just in time! :lol: :captain:

I think we need garage pictures so we can monitor your progress!

:ttiwop: share some!

That's so awesome to hear. Especially when the car isn't even finished yet.
Awesome job Pete and Brian.:cheers: Congrats Anthony!:cheers:

Pics of what....the car?

No the garage!!

Let see it Tony, no holding out on us.

Alright put down the beer and get to it!:thumbsup:

yeah then he followed that by saying when he nicked it he noticed it had barely any body filler on it !!!!
ok that was too far! I'm sorry...

I'm excited for you Anthony!!! theres just to big buts...
pete made it to nice to thrash on it!
and too bad your gonna put that prehistoric LTjuan in there. :lol:
JK
its funny how a lt1 seems more dated than a plain ol small block, mind you i drive a lt1 daily...:_paranoid

I don't know about that AJ... I know of a couple of '' OLD SCHOOL '' small blocks that can lay the smack down on alot of these LS motors. I think Tony's car is going to fool alot of people,,:D You are right though they do seem extreamly dated now that the LS motors took over.:cheers:

No the GARAGE!!!

better yet, just fly in and do my garage:cheers: I don't think you really know how to do dry wall.

Mark,

I've seen his work.... everything above the 6' mark and the ceiling was unfinished! Hey! I wonder why.....:unibrow:

and that was on stilts:rofl:

Tony you know everyone is happy for you with all the nut cracking going on.

That's Jennifers job!

Its a tuff job but somebody has to do it.

WOW that's a statement ...... I don't know about that but he's got a nice above average driver done pretty nice that he can show off if he wants.
I'm sure it will need a little of this and that but he should be rocking in the right direction now.



Just nice enuff that he'll want to clean it after he thrashes it

Ok funny guys.....
 

Here's a few pics....nothing special, it's just a garage! :)

This is the side I worked on last year.......

And here's what I'm working on right now.....
 

A before shot showing how the cabinets used to be.

After a lot of thought I decided to move the uppers to the other side of the garage, move a couple base cabinets to the storage room/shed that's behind the third stall, and completely reconfigure my work area. Oh and move the sink and cut a door into the storage room where the sink cabinet used to be.
I had to do a ton of mud work on this big wall as I had cut it up quite a few times over the years adding electrical. For the most part I skimmed it after running all the joints and patches. It turned out nice.

And here's where I'm at tonight....
 

The ceiling is finally finished in flat white paint. I put the first coat of wall finish on today...actually just finished that! It will take one more tomorrow. It's a nice canvas color. It's kinda hard to see the differance between the walls and the ceilings...but they are a differant color.

Just a couple more....
 

My helper! :D

And a couple shots of the close out panels I built on either end of the base cabinets. I still need to build a new bench top. My plan is for it to go over the close out panels and not use a back splash...I just want a nice big area to work on since I gave up quite a bit of counter top in order to make the space more Karma friendly! :lol: Also I need to pour and concrete step where I cut the new door in.

Note the task lighting....and air regulator for the big air compressor that's out in the store room! ;)

Looks really nice Tony!



Can you explain to the average layman what all those "height enhancement apparatus" in the pictures are used for?? There seems to be quite a lot of ladders and scaffolding and step stools around... I didn't see any of those when I was viewing pictures of Rodger Lees garage space :thumbsup: :unibrow: :willy: :rofl:

Thanks! It's been a lot of work...but well worth it!! I will be glad to be done painting...it's not my favorite part!



Actually I would bet money you have plenty of ass jacks around The Shed! :P

Looks great Tony! Will look even better when Karma is in there!!!

Nice setup! I think you need to spend an extra week in Vegas next year working on my garage.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

It looks good Tony, Question. If you have the compressor outside does the cold weather effect it?

LMAO Best out loud laugh I've had in weeks! Thanks Greg! :rofl:

I have more step stools and ladders and 'ass jacks' around than anyone I know... and I use them.... because I have to!



BTW -- for those that don't know "us" -- I'm as height challenged as Tony...

Mark, it's not actually outside. I built a 10'x16' room behind the garage that's constructed like a house and uses two walls of the house....think addition. It's fully insulated and sheet rocked. It actually stays warm in the winter and cold in the summer months. Best of all the garage stays quiet....until you pull the trigger on a tool that is! :cheers:

I hope you have the "talk" with your helper...You know which talk I am referring too right? If not, it's the one of NOT riding his bike between the cars or leaning the bike on the car...:lol:
