Title: New home for the Pintos.
Post by: Glassman on August 21, 2005, 06:12:24 AM
Its 30'x26'. The interior walls were not painted. I just finished painting them. I'm cleaning the floor so I can epoxy it. Its going to get a drywall ceiling and insulation above that. It went through last years hurricanes without even losing a shingle.

I wont be able to put the Pintos back in it for a week after painting the epoxy on the floor. I'm going crazy just trying to keep from working on them. ::)

Nice garage.......[drool drool drool]

Carport, lol, THAT must of been nice, hehe.

Well, I'm in a CONDOMINIUM.  2 car garage, but my trucks outside now [figured we'd get that hailstorm now...] and the Town Car just takes up massive amounts of room, but I guess I can always pull that out [wish I did when I restored the rims.....]

Here's my hole in the wall.....

WOW! :o I'm glad you both survived the crash in good shape.  And I was just about to E-Mail ya a list of things I was going to remove from the engine compartment. :( 
After looking for at least ten months for a garage with a house, we found this one. We cant wait to finish the garage so I can work on the Pintos.  ;)





Condo? Carport? At least you have a hard level surface to work on.  Some might remember the plastic garage i used to work in.  ;D

Hey Pintony Im going to put the speakers on shelves. Thats just a tempory set up. Ive been getting into a smooth jazz radio station out of Tampa, lately. I havent used the silica packs. Im going to be installing A/C and a dehumidifier. That should take care of it.  :D

BTW I didnt like the flat finish of the paint. I went and bought satin and the first coat looks mmmarvalous.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Hey Glassman,
Do not forget the mouse-rat bait in the corners.
Those little pests pizz on everything and really ruin a car and sheetmetal.
Keep food to a minimum in your new garage.
Don't store dog food or bird seed anywhere near a classic car.
