What kind of floor is that in your shop?
Hey Karl, thanks! I built this thing to drive and have the rock chips to prove it!

The '34 is definitely a bad a$$ beast. He got into the high 5's in the 1/8 mile and engine was still rich so there was more power to be had. This is all naturally aspirated. No nitrous, no turbos, no blower. Good stuff!

The coating on the floor is from Epoxy Coat (http://www.epoxy-coat.com). They allow you to choose the colors you want. I have the "premium" package which includes a clear epoxy to put over the colored epoxy and acts as a clear coat. It is more expensive, but much thicker. I have abused my floor pretty hard and do have a few spots where the coating has chipped, but that may be due to a poor bond to the concrete usually a product of bad prep. I used the chemical method vs a diamond sander since my floor was new, but I'd probably do the sanding thing next time to ensure there is a good profile on the surface for good adhesion.
