Man I thought this was a Corvette forum ?
OK, here you go, well I removed the old panel door and installed a roll-up type then epoxy coated the floor, this is a 1964 Garage - do you think I should have left it original ?

Uhhhh, if we're talking about garage mods and not mods done in the garage then in order:
#1)Drywall & texcoat walls & ceiling
#2)Epoxy/vinyl chipped floor
#3)Lighting
#4)Custom cabinetry(gotta have a place for your stuff)
EDIT: OH, MODS DONE TO THE CAR.
Okay, I guess we cleared that up.

Well I have 3 other cars & the most invloved thing I have done in my garage was install a supercharger in my 1990 mustang. I did everything including the fuel system & a home made bracket! I also changed the upper intake at the same time. The vette's mods are mostly cosmetic.

So far it has been installing a number of the Vette Essentials interior pieces and the painted bezels. Makes the inside look so much better.

I am not big on the whole custom interior/painted bezel type of thing, but I must say that yours is among the top 2 or 3 that I have seen. Very tastful.

Not just on the C5's. I have done
motor rebuilds, swaps, cams, intakes, heads, etc
transmission rebuilds, swaps
clutches
shifters
rear axles/gears
headers/exhaust
shocks
springs
sway bars
bushings
steering gears
tie rods
ball joints
alignments
swapped gages and dash
seat swaps and upholstery
body work
paint
mount and balance wheels/tires
refinish wheels
etc.
Most recently on the C5's I have replaced a wobbling balancer, O2 sensors, outside temp sensor, AC recharged, brake pads and rotors, CAGS eliminator, and the usual clean and wax.
Today I replaced the sway bar bushings, end links, and idler arm, then alignment on my 96 Caprice LT1.
All in my garage.

As for me... I yanked off the cheap *** steering wheel logo sticker right in the comfort of my personal garage. This was a huge improvement!
