AND another frustrating day and its not over.
I went to the new shop at 7:30am to meet the lift guys and saw that the garage door guy had cut a hole in our old doors to get into the shop b/c he wanted to start working early. WTF? ever heard of a f-ing phone, who the f does that crap. So now the old garage doors are useless and I already had them sold to someone...so the guy just costed himself $400 by being impatient. So that's how my day started....JOY!
But non the less the new garage doors are in; they look and function nicely.
the lifts are still being installed as we speak and already some things that are driving me nuts, one of the lifts apparently got scratched in shipping/install (I know I know but still when you bring a car to me for work you don't expect to leave with a dent, so it irritates me).
some quick pics, more later

hmm that to me would be breaking and entering cus he didn't have your permission and didn't even call you. That is horrible business by that company. As for the lift that sucks too and also looks like rust is already there so something tells me they sent it to you already damaged. :/ well best of luck for the rest of the day.

i always thought lifts took a lot more than 2 people to put in lol. how deep do they drill to mount those?
lol i would paint it for them free if they paid my gas and fed me food and beer!
I dont think it would cost a lot at all. graffiti artists dont get paid to paint their 8'x 16' work next to the freeway.
The only thing that would cost a lot is to get a print out of the whole thing to make sure proportions were right, but even that could be solved with a projector hooked up to a laptop at night time for tracing.
There you go Gibz, I was down there today and totaly agreed that one was the best but was yet a little too plain. I like what you have done with that, that little bit of color change looks a lot better.
Kyle you also have to keep in mind how much it costs to do all of this stuff for them.
