The macadamia brown will look good on the Chevelle, Jody. Good choice.

Loving the choice of brown, don't see a lot of the BMW's in that shade but when you do it looks great. With the black and polished bits I'm thinking it's going to look great! Now about the interior color....
Let me know what you end up with for a shop chair. I just picked up a lift with a 11'6" ceiling and will need to come up with something.

I'll let you know Dan. At 11'6" you can probably stand under your car. My last shop was 12' and even at 6'5" that was enough for me to stand under the car, and that was not at the top rung on the lift either.

The BMW color is great, flops to a bronze in the sunlight, still looks like an ‘old car’ color, love it!

My garage in Az has a 11'4" ceiling. I'm 6'2" and can stand up under cars on the lift.

Thanks Charley, that's been my experience as well. Dan should be good to go with his beautiful property.

Thanks for the info fellas. My vehicle situation is a lil different than most on here though. I’m 4wd swapping a 69 F series Ford and while it won’t be huge, it is a bit taller than a lowered muscle car.
I’ll keep working on the domestication of the wife and see what we can get done. Like her father, she’s built for smaller spaces.
