I like the paint on the garage floor Lance. Did you upgrade the motor? Bump for your motor.

thanks vince for the bump

that floor we dont paint on. its acually colored silica sand that it broadcasted on and clear put over it. there are more steps to it but thats the quick description version, . something like this would look great in FLT's show room. we also have this type floor as our bar top (in our basement), basement, and shower floor at home. check out some of our other floors we install. http://stonhard.com/ when FLT is ready for a high performance floor make sure you recomend the crew from south east MI.

anyways back to the motor. i didn't upgrade motors i found another 5.3 to put in there for the time being. i however call it a 4.8 because its way slower for some reason. that is unknown.
