Would like to say thank you for all the great comments on my 73, the car was repainted one time, back in 1990, it was shot the original mille miglia red and the shine today results from hours and hours of clay bar and polish,my display stand was purchased at a frame store at my local mall,it consists of just a hard backboard,plexiglass, and the four plastic edges,just an inexpensive picture frame that works well.

beleive it or not they are .69 cent 12x12 ceramic tiles purchased at Home Depot,they have been down for about 8 years now with no cacks or chips.works great for motorcycle and car storage not so great for floor jacks and ect. on the other side of the garage I have installed Racedeck flooring this is where all the heavy work gets done.
