Black & blue Viper garage man cave

[BlueRush2]

Here there friends. I had just become active on the boards early last year when some things went down in the family that put me out of commission for most of 2010. It's all good now and I'm glad to be back.

The following are pics of my garage. I'm posting before and after pics so that if there's anyone out there thinking they might want to do this but aren't sure if it's worth it, they'll go ahead and give it a shot.

I have no mechanical training, everything I do is self taught, but I always believe in trying to do it myself before paying someone else. The worst that can happen is that I pay them anyway so why not try it yourself first, right? I have found many people in the Club who are willing to help and provide advice and I thank you all. In particular Jon B at Partsrack, Mark Jorgensen at Woodhouse, John Gastman at Roanoke, Dan Lesser at Viper Specialty, and of course Chuck Tator.

Here's my new garage, man cave, snake pit and dog house all in one...























I told my wife that I now had cars, cable and brew so I was set and wouldn't need to come inside that often. Except for, well..

My joke went over like a fart in church.

Pics of Venzano interior in next post..

Thanks those of you who have spent time teaching me about Vipers!

Looks Great! That's a lot of hard work, but it was worth it.

I keep seeing dream garages here on the forum Maybe a sign?

EDIT: Also, what rear deck lid spoiler and front splitter is that? Love the Z06 + snake combo btw :thumbup:

[01rt10outlaw]

[01sapphirebob]

That. Is. Awesome.

 

[plumcrazy]

just the way YOUR garage should look.

looks GREAT !

 

[coupe]

Inspirational. Thanks!

 

[JohnnyViper]

thanks for making my garage look like crap, you did a great job

 

[maxdaddy]

That looks great!! I really like your floors!

 

[tpduke112]

I love it because it looks functional! Some garages are cleaner/nicer than a house. Yours looks like I could actually get some work done in it!

 

[cfiiman]

Sweet, I'm in the middle of doing all this to mine too! Where did you get your floor tiles? I've looked a couple of places but want the best quality/value I can find. Were they easy to install, how did it go around the edges?

 

[Roffey]

That is some VERY nice work!

Thanks for the great ideas

 

[mach4444]

Great job! really like the floors.....

 

[markk]

Very nice work. I love the logo on the floor. I have some unfinished tiling in my basement if you're not doing anything now that your garage is finished.

The splitter looks like the Eurotek carbon fiber lip splitter. Steve at Vipair also sells one like that. The spoiler looks to be the Autoform style. JonB Partsrack for that.

Just looking at the pretty pictures? The wording says 'concrete stain'.

 

[tucker]

Awesome space.

 

[Mr. Mom]

Very, VERY nice!!
I really like the side-lift garage door opener and the fact that you could get a lift in there. Makes me wonder............

 

[big-n-italian]

i love the colors! well done!

 

[kcobean]

Very nice!

FYI, I moved this to the General Viper section so the Gen 1/2 guys can enjoy it too!

 

[PDCjonny]

Where did you get that Viper clock, been looking for something similar.
Those side lift jack screw openers are the best, just put two in my new garage build.

...My joke went over like a fart in church.

Or a fart in Malawi.

Nicely done!

 

[BLUEVIPER]

Great Job....very jealous...can't wait until I have the time to create something like this...GREAT JOB!

 

[Ricketts]
