Started moving stuff in a realized I best just paint the floor now. Its tough because they say you cant use epoxy on the floor with the heater. It supposedly peels up and comes off in sheets. So I am going to try some of the quick drying Rock Guard stuff. Hope it works out well.

Spent the day cleaning up the car. Repacked the bearings and greased things. Scuffed and painted everything that was under the car. That trip to florida and back on the open trailer really did its toll.

I found it hard to adjust my Vikings if they were installed that way. I turned mine 180 so I don't have to take the wheel off to adjust them.

The garage is awesome finally. It was a struggle. It took me 15 months to get it to where it is. Worth every second of it!
