Shiny!
Would be a shame to get it all dirty with oil, grease, brake fluid, brake dust, coolant, paint, leaves and dirt like my garage.

It just needs a disco ball hanging from the roof (in lieu of the usual tennis ball) so you can judge where to stop the car when it bumps up against the windscreen!

I think you went overboard with steel paneling. On steps it may even be dangerous, as it is slippery when wet.

There were a couple of angles there where I thought it was the inside of a NASCAR Hauler

Yes, very nice work!

One thing to remember: If your garage gets very cold, DON'T EVER LICK ANY METAL! Your tongue will stick!
