If you build it, they will come... (Lotsa Pics!)
A little project I'm doing, thought you might enjoy some pictures. Fiat is coming back to the US.
The last 2 are of another dealer being built 30 miles away, but this is what mine will look like by Wednesday. Lots of curves This wall had to be on an exact 60 deg. finished curve with 30.25" radius or the 'Dashboard System', an manufactured interactive playground, will not fit. Some more Curves (Sales Offices) This Light Cloud is 120' long Tile floors will be White 24" tiles mirroring this cloud with surrounding 12"x24 Gray tiles. |

A standalone Fiat dealership? not with Chrysler or anything else to prop it up?

Yes, we are the General. We sub out all the work and my job is to make sure they build it to the plans, fight with the City Inspectors etc.

Dan, Looking great in there. That Fiat logo sucks, I wonder if Fiat knows that.

Looks like you take as much pride in your job as you do in your car.

Are the clouds built to Cal. seismic specs or are they out of the zone that requires seismic specs ?

I want to share one thing with you guys.
This was also designed by Dan. I was going to overdo this project and he helped me out. He even called Max Jax and had a pow-wow with them. Thanks Dan |

This particular cloud was built with 20 gauge metal studs on an existing web truss system (wood) 16" on center, then angled braces every 48" both directions (as typical, using Simpson metal connectors) and then more metal clips (A34s) on each stud to the truss. I think the whole roof will come down before this breaks loose (as usual). No problem, anytime I can help. Well Jim, if I ever go on the lamb, it will probably be a tropical island. If you ever go on the lamb, you can join me and we can remodel our huts together |

Here's some updated pictures EXTERIOR IS COMPLETE (Except the lack of signage and the temporary banner) THESE ARE 1/4" THICK CEMENT PANELS. THEY ATTACH TO A METAL Z BAR USING RIVETS. THEY COME IN VARIOUS COLORS AND SHAPES. FIRST TIME I'VE DONE THESE. TILE FLOOR MATCHING THE LIGHT CLOUD ABOVE (getting ready to grout, so it's dirty) THE GOOD STUFF! LIFTS ARE IN, AWAITING PEA GRAVEL BACKFILL AND THEN CONCRETE PERIMETER FOOTING. |
