Default Picked some beauty signs for the corvette room!

Got some new/old signs hung up in the vette room and got the tach needle reattached on the 54. Brakes gone through and she turned over for the first time in 24 years ... took a little persuading....

My wife was giving me crap about that and I used the obvious humor which fell on deaf ears.

That is 1980 with 30k miles, original paint, all smog intact, no headers, no speakers added or cassette deck.... as delivered when new. (Gutless but pure survivor)

Very nice garage but as a former instaler of garage doors I must laugh as you have some of the nicest doors on the market with the cheapest openers on the market.

Once you know the trick it's very easy and safe. If your looking for recommendations on a opener the look at chamberlain (same manufacturer you have now) in the belt drive systems. Most come with battery back up have WIFI capabilities to monitor them if you have a smart phone. You can also open a close then any where with your phone. And they are supper quite

That is the opener I have in the sign room. Love it. The other three in the work garage are older and I plan on getting the same ones you mentioned.

Why not recommend jack screw type openers? That'a what I'm going with next. My friend's jack screw openers are super quiet and take very little space.

Just curious, and not wanting to high jack your thread OP. That's an awesome garage and car collection.

That is the sweetest man-cave that I have ever seen. Is that attached to your home?
