Lets see some shops ! Fab set ups / layouts and ideas...
I know how hard many shops work on the customers cars - and when you seee the car's come out on forums and magazines it makes you wonder about the shop that they came from.
So guys lets post up what you all work so hard on -

Figured it would be a good way for people to see shops from different states they may never get to see in person.

I definately agree with you 100%!
After 2 months of preperation this is how the floor came out at the new place... 100% epoxy.
Grey wih white and orange "sprinkles."
This is what it looked liked feb 22 before we moved in. This was only the 2nd time i had gone to see the place.
Here is part of the "fab area" I guess you could call it. Thats my welding table behind both the cars. I like being able to work on a car and have the table right there! I have more and better pics... but they;re all on the damn shop computer!

How much did you spend on the epoxy? And where did you get it? I've only tried the Home Depot stuff... Looks expensive though

We have used the home depot stuff in our past shop and it never seemed to hold all that well. The littlest things would bring it right up. We have been working in the new shop now for a little while and have really given the epoxy some tests and it has been holding up really really well.

Its not that easy over here either, lol. It took some patience to find a place like this.
Here is a link to the company that we used http://www.epoxy-coat.com/

shortly after i moved in:
more recently:
it is only 1080 square feet of shop space, 1364 with the office space up front and it is only dock loading... i wouldn't have much room to get a car in there anyway. i have a 2 year lease and would like to get something a bit bigger that is grade loading in the future.
