Another productive day in the garage.

[wythors]

After completing my double radiator swap/intake install, I really needed to give my garage a thorough cleaning. There were tools everywhere, the workbench was buried in "stuff", empty boxes and packing materials in piles and lots of slimey coolant puddles around. I put this Race Deck floor down 8 years ago. Since then, I've swept it regularly and spot cleaned occasionally, but have never swabbed it down. In that time, the floor has seen many oil changes, a couple of H/C/I jobs, numerous intake swaps, a supercharger install, lots of brake and suspension work and an AOD/T-5 swap. So today I put every tool back where it belongs, loaded all the boxes, along with 5 gallons of old coolant and 3 gallons of old oil, into the Ranger and made a run to the recycle center. On the way back I stopped and rented a commercial mop and bucket with a wringer. I hit the nastier spots with some Super Clean first, then mopped with a light Simple Green mix. What a difference!

Behold: My Man Cave.

It's only 19x24, but it works okay. I'd kill for another bay, or even another six feet on the right side, but this will do until I retire and get to build my dream garage.

Now I have to come up with something to do to dirty it up again.

I've always loved your garage, the floor really sets it off

Yeah, I was an original member there when it was still "Garage Junkies dot com". It got WAAAY too nasty over there a couple of years ago I haven't visited it for a long time.

You still need a bit of a thick skin there, not nearly as bad as pirate4x4 or the hamb though.

Very nice garage, I would love to make mine look like that.

looks like an applebees's for mustangs

I hate you and your highly organized garage with the comfy floor and automobile memorabilia.


Can you come and do mine now?

 

[VibrantRedGT]

Man, that's a lot of Ford stuff. My boys wanted a Nascar garage so that's what we did (they are big fans). So we went to Mooresville, North Carolina and visited all the race shops and bought stuff to put in the garage. I'm going to do the floor like yours. I already have several grey and black snap togethers.

That actually made me laugh out loud!

That toolbox you got there must make a chit-ton of HP! I count 38 stickers. Using Rice-Calc (copywrite and patent pending 2011), that's 760 HP! Subracting nothing for drivetrain loss, that's 760 RWHP!!!!!!

Just wait 'til I get my AEM cold air kit, yo. Then is will have "massive horsepower and torque gains as well as better engine sound". Says so right on their website, so it must be true.

Nice garage man

I'm guilty of hanging out on garage journal too much. But it's the only room in the house that I can really call MINE. Might as well make it a mancave.

Garage looks sick! I love it!

You know it! Oh... and since you're doing high HP mods, I recently discovered a shade-tree ricer trick you can use to gain another 40 horse!

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS! Hellz yeah! Wrap em around your subframes. Nobody will know that it's not an underglow kit.

Funny thing about that: I have a set of Ford Oval christmas tree lights that I've been trying to figure out what to do with. That just might be the way to go.

Hey now...

Hey now...

The proper nomenclature for that sir, is an FMS underbody light kit.

You need to re mop the floor. Sorry about that! I love that garage make mine look like a hell hole.
