    They are still working on the garage but things are moving along nicely. They finished up the woodwork today. The trim for the wainscoting is up and the shoe moulding is down on the floor. Other than paint and getting the vanity for the sink, it's just about done. I have pictures and neon and things to go on the walls, so I just need to get some paint in there! In that box on the floor is a new air hose reel that will go inside of the little closet on the right hand wall. I'm going to make a hole on the wall for the air hose to stick through, so the reel and compressor will all be hidden.

     
    The painters will have to go over some of the trim again since I changed the color after they got started. You can see the lighter color trim on the closet doors versus the newer darker color on the refrigerator door trim as well as the trim around the opening. All of the doors and the rest of the trim (including windows and the garage doors on the inside) still need to be painted. 

     
    You can see the red color that the walls will be painted (Sherwin-Williams "Real Red"). They had to paint a strip of red before they put the wainscoting trim on, so that's why there is only a little bit at the moment.

     
    The ceiling will be the blue color on the far left in this image. It's almost black. (Sherwin-Williams "In the Navy")

     
    We're still waiting to get the vanity and sink, it's been ordered for a couple of months now. 




     
    The trim around the garage doors still has to be painted as well as this side of the actual doors.

    Just got the car back yesterday after taking it for a ceramic paint treatment. Since the car only has 13,000 miles on it and appears to be garage kept for its entire life and was in near perfect condition,  I wanted to protect the surface and make it easier to clean. So after doing a little research, I took the car to a place that's about 1 minute away from the Road Atlanta entrance called ZeroDefects. Chris had the car for three days and went over every exterior square inch. 
    I went with the top of the line ceramic treatment from Gtechniq called Crystal Serum Ultra. There are other ceramic treatments that you can apply yourself, but this particular treatment has to be applied by an accredited dealer. But because of the steps taken to prepare the surface and the addition of this coating, there is a nine year guarantee for the treatment. 
    The entire exterior of the car was treated and that includes all the paint, glass, trim, wheels, and calipers. The surface feels silky smooth and dirt just blows off. When it comes time to wash, generally a rinse with a hose takes what little dust may be on it. And the best part is that brake dust pretty much rinses off, so scrubbing necessary. Once I get me new wheels (they are being made as I type) I will have those treated before the tires are mounted.

    So here are the pictures so far. The pictures don't do it great justice but you get the idea. The reflections are deep, and in the sun it looks like you can put your hands down in the paint. 🙂 It's very awesome.

    Originally start the post on September 21
    Yea, this isn't inside the house, but it is part of the house. 🙂
    I am in the process of doing a garage makeover at our house. First, you have to understand that I'm a car guy and have been all my life, so I baby our cars, so it's only fitting that I have a nice "bedroom" for the "babies". 🙂 I'm working with Amanda Dame (she's right here in Big Canoe, click to email her) to coordinate all of the work and design. 
    I don't have any real good before pictures of the garage now, but it's not in terrible shape. But I wanted more of a car guys garage, and was originally thinking about something along these lines but I've since changed my way of thinking in terms of the flooring. More about the design in a minute.

     
    Our garage already has an epoxy floor but it is starting to come up in several places and the only way to fix it is to strip the epoxy from the floor and start over, and that is not a cheap thing to do. In order to get epoxy to stick, the concrete has to be meticulously prepared and if not, you have spots where it will lift off the surface, and that is exactly what my floor is doing.


     
    I love the floor, but I don't want to go to the expense and effort to fix it and run the risk of it happening again. I figured the floor was the first place to start in the design because that color would dictate the color palette for the walls and ceiling. I have been looking at interlocking tile floors for a while now, and I thought I had my floor figured out. I wanted that fancy "race" look much like what you see in the image above and something like this image.

     
    Those tiles look like this. 


     
     After thinking about that for a while, I didn't want a tile that "drained". I want a floor. The disadvantage to the self draining tiles is that they have to be vacuumed, you can't sweep them. So any dirt or bug that gets in the garage falls into the holes to the surface underneath. Nope, not for me. So what else is there?
    This was never going to be a true "working" garage. Think of it as a living room for the cars. 🙂 So, along those lines, I've decided on these interlocking tiles (same company) in a smoked oak color.


     
    To give you an idea what the floor looks like with a car sitting on top of it, here's a picture. As you're looking also notice the darker color to the ceiling in the left half of the image. I'm going with a darker color ceiling. 

     
    RaceDeck is the company that makes the flooring.
    Smoked Oak Garage & Display Flooring - RaceDeck
    RACEDECK.COM Everything looks good parked on Smoked Oak display flooring. This RaceDeck flooring offers a vintage reclaimed wood look that will stand out at any car show  
    So now that I have the floor picked out we'll move on to the room colors. That will have to wait until I get the floor sample from RaceDeck, and then we'll sit down with Amanda and talk colors (the sample is on the way). We're looking at using three to four colors in the room. I'm adding wainscoting all around the lower half of the walls, so that will be one color, the wall above that will be a different color, and the ceiling will be some dark color. There may be a thin border color between the wainscoting and upper wall, but not sure yet.
    We've already complete step 1 with the room, as I just had Bruce Jankowski come out and remove the old fluorescent lights and replace those with recessed LED's. What a difference! It's like a showroom in their now! I'll have to go count but there are at least 16 lights total. The run down the sides of both walls as well as between the cars. Plus, I can now dim the lights, so if I want to detail the cars I can turn them up, if I just want to relax the cars I can turn them down. LOL! Yes, the cars must rest. 🤪


     
    I took some pictures at night so you could see how bright the lights are. Click to enlarge. 
       
     
    What you probably notice in the picture are the shelves to the right of the red car. Those are built in so they are going to be ripped out as they are in the way when opening the car doors. So those will all come out and I've decided to replace the tub sink with a small vanity and sink. I'm not going for the industrial look and I want to hide the pipes etc.. 🙂 That needs to be done before the floors go down, so I need to search for something that will work in that spot. I love having a sink out there but don't like the look of the one that is there. 

     
    We have one area in the back of the garage that we need to cover up. I've debated the best way of doing that and considered doors and other things like that, but it's such a large opening (83" wide and 97" tall) that doors would become impractical. 

     
    In my searching I found a company that makes curtains in custom sizes and they have some that are race related. 
    Race car Window Curtains & Drapes | Block Out | Custom Sizes
    WWW.VISIONBEDDING.COM VisionBedding is the home of unique bedroom decor! We have a wide variety of custom bedding and custom home decor to choose from. Shop now at VisionBedding.com!  
    So I've decided to go that route for now. I'll have a custom curtain (1 panel) made to fit the opening. 
    I have other accessories planned, there is a piece of neon (a nice garage HAS to have some neon!) that I'll be ordering (below),

     
    as well as a few other car and garage related clock, signs, etc. 

     
    I'll add more information in the comments as we start the work on the garage.

    Car
    Got the wife's car back from the painter today (Russ Cowart) and he did an awesome job! He painted the two front fenders, hood, front bumper, installed the two front grills, and refinished the front splitter.
    Now we have to get it ceramic coated, clear wrap the front of the car and rear bumper cover, wrap the roof and mirrors black, and finish changing out the emblems. All the chrome is gone except for the ATS letters and the three V emblems and those will be changed soon. Then it's off to get the wideband sensor and XDI translator installed and get it re-aligned. 
    Love the black grills, and I think that's the way they should have come to start with.

    Garage Update 1/22/22

    By NorthGeorgiaWX,


    Car
    Still waiting on the paint touch ups but most people wouldn't notice. We managed to get some more pictures on the wall, installed the new blinds on the windows and doors, and I got the new toolbox to replace my old red one. I added a rubber mat to the top of it to protect the finish. Other than the vanity and sink, I think we're just about done.

    This blog is sucking the content from my old blog via a RSS feed, and it doesn't always get the formatting correct, so I may do some of the blog post directly from this site. Anyway... this was from this is morning... sort of. 😛        Good Friday morning to everyone!

    We have some active weather on Lincoln's doorstep for this afternoon and evening, and I know some strong storms came through last night.  If you travel with your car in a trailer, that's great. There will be a chance for some large hail and high winds, and at least in the trailer your car is relatively safe. Also, please make sure you securely tie down everything in the paddock so nothing becomes a lethal weapon in high winds.

    So we need to jump right in to the Omaha NWS Discussion and follow with the thoughts of the Storm Prediction Center. NWS Omaha Area Forecast Discussion 24 Hour Rainfall Forecast from the WPC   More on the severe potential from the SPC

    SPC Day 1 Outlook Click to Enlarge   So keep on a lookout this afternoon and evening for some strong storms to develop. Hope everyone stays safe and goes fast! 🙂
    Have an awesome day!

    New Parts Installed

    By NorthGeorgiaWX,


    Car
    The other day I had received my new Renick catless downpipes, so I took the car down to Chequered Flag Automotive to let Chris and Shawn get those installed. While it was there, they spent lots of time tracking down a noise in the left front of the car that appeared after the first autocross. After checking and tightening everything on that side of the car, they disconnected the newly installed sway bar and methodically played with end links etc, The weird part is that the sound appears to be gone now but they never really found anything.
    Each pipe has a resonator in place of the cat (4th image), and there is a H pipe (crossover pipe) that connect the two together. There are all kinds of extra bungs on the pipes in case you need to connect more sensors (wide band O2, etc). 
    I pick up the car in the morning, and when I get back home I have a new tune to install to better take advantage of the lower restriction in the exhaust. It should bump me up another 25 or or so (up to 525 rwhp?) and allow the turbo's to spool a little quicker. EDIT: New tune installed. The car seems to rev a little quicker and the throttle response seems to be a little sharper. And it sounds a WHOLE lot better. 🙂
    Not sure what else I really want to do to this engine right now. I may go ahead and do the Renick cold air intake worth another 20 hp to bump it up to a total of about 540 rwhp? That should be plenty. The car is still under warranty so I don't want to do anywhere close to what's been done to the other car. I will get a Boostane tune which would bump things up again due to the higher octane (102 versus 93), to ~560-570 hp. At that point I'd be good for now. If I need more power in a straight line I'll hop in the other car. 😉 Saw a dyno of another ATS-V with the IDENTICAL setup as our red V and it was making 693 rwhp and 704 ft lbs of torque on E70. Not bad for a 3.6 liter V6. 🙂
