Default Solved My Problem
.....with the runners by the lift. Not earth shattering in today's world, but keeps me busy.

For some years now, had the Race Deck snap together tiles as runners, however, I really couldn't secure them to the tile floor without using a heavy commercial glue, lots of it, just didn't want to go that route. The tiles were constantly moving on me, slightest turn on the steering to adjust for a straight pull-in, separating if I stop and go again, tire force dynamics involved, etc.

So I opted for the 2 x 2 self sticking carpet tile, in denim, worked out great.

Sometimes, the best solution is the simplest one.

Seriously, those aren't electrical cords running underneath that carpet, getting ran over by the car, right?

If so, I see a fire in your near future.

The one running perpendicular under the carpet looks like the hydraulic line for the lift

Correct, with the appropriate support channeling under the carpet to prevent squishing the line. The smaller angled line is the lock release cable similar to a bike brake cable, not worried about squishing.

Oh that's quite alright, none taken. Looks that way to compliment my "Military Tribute" display when I'm out and about at car shows and veteran's events, quite popular among those folks.

I know my display and Vette looks are not for everybody, but hey, I'm the only one that counts.

Norm's garage is awesome! Would love to have something similar. With a Corvette or two in it. Just not any C7's as I don't fit in them.
