    Seeing your pics makes me miss my SHO. I had a 93 White SHO, just like the one that is parked next to yours. Mine had the grey interior with white wheels. Don't let the looks of one fool you, they scream!! Just before I sold mine, I went to the SHO Shop in LA and had alot of work done on it. :D

    Your car looks great! What have you done to it?

    Another SHO fan huh? Mine is an 89 with around 160k miles. Have done plenty of work to it. Only SHO Shop items are their rear strut bar and subframe connectors. Otherwise, most of the other upgrades have been suspension related, 91 Slicer wheels and a police grill. I still love it and drive it about everyday.

    Again, thanks for all the compliments on the garage. I have since installed a few more items and will need to provide some additional pics to show the full layout. I am still struggling to find a suitable answer for the wall to floor trim. As you can see in the pics, I still have the rough edging on the walls and need to find some sort of trim to install. There is about a 2" concrete ledge running along the outer walls. I don't have the same ledge along the front wall and would likely need to rip whatever trim product I use. Any thoughts on a usuable product?

    Had a chance this afternoon to snap a few more pictures of the supply collection along with additional Gladiator storage solutions in the garage. Thought I'd share:

    Another view of the 30" cabinets along with the fold down work cabinet

    More wall track and hangers. Mostly detailing brushes and odds and ends

    This section towards the end of the garage is for my son's toys. I wanted him to have his items near the door so that he doesn't end up walking past the cars with his toys, etc.

    My compressed air solution is currently an older Emglo compressor and a 50' reel of hose. Won't be running any major tools with this but perfect for small tasks and airing up tires, etc. Just used a couple of items from Lowe's to make the shelf.

    Collection keeps taking up more and more space in the cabinets :)

    Got a recent shipment from Phil:

    Yes, finally went for my first product with the infamous Swissvax lineup:

    As most of the cars I want to use this on are daily drivers, I went with the Shield wax. I still have that aching to purchase Concorso in the near future. But for now, I can't wait to try this out!

    Thanks Phil for the quick shipment and excellent customer service.

    Sweet garage, stable of vehicles, and product arsenal !! I grew up in oakville and my parents still live off of telegraph road. If you ever see a -60ish male cruising around in a '70 chevelle SS that's my old man.

    Love the SoFast Odor eater and can't wait to try the Diablo Gel and other products!

    Thanks for the recent compliments on the garage. I am looking to add to the lighting this spring as part of the annual projects!

    Glad you got Swissvax..for a minute I thought you were married to CG and Griot. BTW Concorso is awesome and unreal garage.

    Ok, so here's another non-CG or Griot product! Not sure why I'm stocking up on so many wheel cleaners but purchased this bottle of Bilberry from Barrym here on the forum. Guess I'm just ready for spring and to start getting my filthy cars cleaned up from this winter!

    Got around to doing some correction and detailing on my wife's I35 this weekend. Used Swissvax Shield and looking forward to seeing how it does on our daily drivers.
    [​IMG]

    Also detailed the SHO using Shield as well. Next up will be the BMW but time and certainly energy just wasn't there for the current weekend!
