But so is that floor can you tell me what used on it I tried the garage floor paint and sprinkle on the flakes as you go while it is wet from Lowes (which looks just like yours) but came off on the hot tires where I park. I even used (3 Coats) of a clear concrete top coat sealer. Still have bare concrete where the tires stay when parked.

Back when I was growing up, every red-blooded American boy wanted to grow up and have a Corvette and a Harley Davidson! And those second generation Corvettes were the ones we dreamed about!

I love the color! It looks very simular to the top color on my 66 GTO, which is called Martinique Bronze. I have 2 older vehicles in my collection, and they each have a unique feel to them. A good friend of mine (of over 30 years) had a nice 65 Corvette Roadster for many years and I spent quite a bit of time in the passenger seat, and even a little time in the driver's seat as well!

Congratulations again on your new addition! I would be thrilled to find one like it in my garage!

Can we see some more pictures?

'Can't promise to call first ... we sort of fly (drive) by the seat of our pants .... I will call you from Bob's Big Boy though and maybe you could drive that beauty through ....

Okay Ruth Ann, if you drive up this far we will do what we can to make the other 12 miles to Bob's.
Still working on getting this one purring. Interior is really clean, those are shadows in the picture. When was the last time you saw that type AC unit?

Just seams like a nightmare for a 2 car garage! I will need to wait to the cement is warmer to paint. I would think being cold would not dry or cure like it should. Caddyman Dan
Well I called Ucoatit and I can go over top the old paint as long as it is not chipping up or lose and peeling. So looks like I got myself into a spring job when it gets warmer! A little rough sanding with a 60 grit & preping the floor and it is ready to paint!
