Shelby GT350 Garage Photos

The day after Thanksgiving I hosted family for a happy hour. Everyone always ends up in the garage

I'd eat my turkey in there! and sleep in there! LOL...

Finally getting mine put together. I have a gas heater on order that should be installed the 3rd week in December. This is going to be a monumental event for me. Never had a heated garage, much less one that I could move around in. Want to finish the slat wall organizing, move stuff out of the middle section so I can rotate my Shelby around for taking care of winter projects....

So, I don't have a GT-350 but I'm so dam excited about how my floor turned out. This was fitted in about 8 hours, me working non-stop while my father kept feeding me tiles. Extremely exhausted as I type this so I will let the photos do the talking.

As you can see, the painted concrete was pretty jacked up.

Finished, and ready for return of the toys.......

To say I am pleased with the outcome would be an understatement. That said, I am so tired that I don't fully understand or appreciate what we achieved today! I still have a few hours relocating various bits and pieces, but the big job is done!

Great job mate , looks awesome! You blanked out your number plates but I see the Aussie Falcon there, so I’m guessing Australia?
What sort of tiles are those and how much do they cost per square metre.
I would love to do something like this later down the track some time.

Nice spot, yes I'm in Australia (Northern Victoria).

Pricing for these is by the tile which makes comparisons a bit harder. The overall cost for me was substantial as I have an unusually large space to cover. The mess and need to gut the entire garage in preparation ruled out other options like Epoxy or Polishing. For me, the fact I could simply cover up the jacked flooring underneath with nothing more in preparation than a quick vacuum was a key factor in my choice of Swisstrax. That and the fact I could stay in control of the job with a self install.

I ordered these through Flexico Storage and Floors in Perth. They were so helpful in calculating how many I needed and the general layout. They also have a YouTube channel showing you how to install it.

Looks good! Something I will have to look into myself for the same reasons you listed in your other post (no need for much preparation vs epoxy, etc.) Any idea how this stands up to lifting the car up and using jack stands?

In terms of using jack stands, trolley jacks or moving heavy items on Swisstrax, you most certainly can.

I'm looking at this myself. Here is their FAQ page...

How do you clean it? Seems the grooves would be a prime place for debris to get stuck in between. If there’s a fluid spill I’m assuming you would take that portion of the floor up to clean it?

Cleaned with a leaf blower or vacuum.

The beauty of Ribtrax is that it keeps the dust and debris settled at the bottom of the floor, keeping the actual floor you stand on cleaner for longer.

yeah, you can blow out light dust or dirt under the surface because you have a 3/4" rise. Otherwise shop vac. If you need to lift a tile, just purchase a paint can opener tool and lift up the section where the spill or large debris is...
