i made absolutely sure that my 2 car garage was more of a 2.5car garage before purchase. even asked the builder NOT to finish the walls cause that'll give me another 4.5" of clearance per side.

that said, i have plenty of room to detail both my G and Z inside the garage. the G's bigger so difficult to work on the rear bumper without openening the garage door but no rain hits the cars unless a gust of wind. in our area we're required to have a step before the entrance to the house so i have a 3ft area where my workbench and tool cases are placed. even so, no issue opening the drawers. it took quite a bit of planning but well worth it....big bang for the buck for me.

Great job on the 'Vette! How hard was the paint? I worked on a C6 Z06 last year and the clear was hard as a rock, I had to use a wool pad with my rotary for the first time on a correction detail since I was getting little progress otherwise.

Thx man... It is just as u said. Hard as a rock. I had to go twice over with the orange pad, and only 95% correction attained. There was some deeeeeep stuff on there.


Today I drive zena to work and to the gym. A beautiful day.
