Re: New mattress cover
That's a beautiful garage. Wish I had one even half as nice.
The trunk on the rear of your A is nice, but that generator in the cradle is too much for the rear! |

Re: New mattress cover
Thanks Tom, temporary location for the generator. It will be moved soon as that part of the floor cures. Car does run better with that 22500 watts of boost Also notice the long carpet runner under the car...guess what that's for. God I'm glad that is done as the rest of the summer is mine....at least what is left of it.

Re: New mattress cover
BEAUTIFUL garage!!!! I wanted to do that to my place before I moved in, but alas......all I got to do was paint all the rafters white to brighten up the place.
Keep all women and children OUT!!!!

Re: New mattress cover
I used the Sherwin Williams epoxy and love it. It holds up to oil and metal castors without a scratch.

Re: New mattress cover
Dusty: Your garage is very nice but way too clean! Where are the tools and workbench?
I think the "sprinkles" embedded in the epoxy look great but I'm not sure it's a good idea if you work on your Model A in a garage with the sprinkled floor - when you drop a nut or washer it's much easier to spot them on a solid color floor and I always seem to be crawling around under the Model A looking for a wayward nut or washer.

Re: New mattress cover
I'm always amazed at how green your car really is!!. The floor looks great. Be careful with gas spills, I had a buddy ruin his this way. Oil wasn't a problem for him but gas melted the epoxy. Again looks great. And that car sure is green.

Re: New mattress cover
In the south we call that a "Where's Waldo Floor". Drop something little colored black or white and it will be a game of Where's Waldo.

Re: New mattress cover
I used it on my red garage floor 6 years ago and it still looks good. Gas is no problem. I do recimmend the sprinkles in a climate that gets snow. Otherwise it is too slick. Looks great!

Re: New mattress cover
Dusty, if my CARRIAGE HOUSE were that spiffy, Vermin would never want to go outside!! But, I DO have wood paneling on the walls & hope to soon do a "T" bar suspended ceiling. Bill W.

Re: New mattress cover
dusty nice job on the floor your garage looks great. now you just need to cut a hole in the ceiling for a lift and you'll be set. if your bedroom is above the garage you can just roll out of bed and work on it
