Bud what kind of tile is that under your Vette?,I like the look and might do the same.
They are a vinyl 12” x 12” self-adhesive type floor covering. The only problem I've had with them is Jack Stands NEED to be on a small 3/8" or so piece of plywood, so they don't cut through the vinyl and, when I let the car down off the stands the rear wheels settle and push the tile a bit. ONCE I figured this out I haven't had any other problems.
They're easy to replace if damaged, just use a putty knife and remove the damaged one and put a new one in it's place
. I really like them, they are easy to keep clean, and everyone that has seen it thinks they look good, esp. with Rare sitting on them
I got them at Home Depot they where either $.89 or $.99 each, they are Armstrong "Afton Series".
Prior to putting the tile down I had painted the floor, that was not an easy task to remove. I spent more time on my hands and knees with my grinder and steel brush wheel making sure all the paint was off than actually setting the tile. 2 LONG weekends to remove the paint, 1 long weekend setting the tile.
OIL LEAKS... bite your tongue... not in my garage
at least there shouldn't be any leaks, esp as much time as I spent changing almost every gasket on her. :J
YES the neighbors think I'm a 1/2 bubble off plumb :crazy
