I had to charge up the camera battery, so no picks today...
Both of the work benches are installed, the tool peg board hung and all tools put back in place. This bay of the garage seems to have been made for my work benches. They are 111 3/16" in length and 32 13/16" deep, and one of them fits along the short back wall between the side wall and the trim for the back door by less than 1/16". I was a little concerned they wouldn't clear the door trim and I would have to shim them out about 1/2" to clear... but there was just enough room!
These work benches are 2x6 frame, 3/4" plywood, and topped with 3/4" hardwood flooring. I attach a 2x4 ledge to the wall to support the backside, use some long torx screws to bolt the rear of the bench to the wall studs, then use some 4x4 legs in front. They are heavy to move around... but very stout once installed. I salvaged 3 of these benches from a demo project 15 or so years ago and this is the 6th garage they have been installed in. Unfortunately, with the wife wanting to park her car in the garage and the relatively small bays, the 3rd bench will have to stay in storage until I expand the garage space in a couple of years.
Hopefully I can continue to make progress on setting up the garage during the evenings this week.

Are you setting up to sell parts you produce again? Like the 13inch brake set? Or this mostly for personal shop stuff you setting up?

If you need a 13" kit before spring, then buy the 13" Viper Rotor kit for the 88 Fiero from WCF... it is that simple. Last kit on the page:
http://www.westcoastfiero.com/brakes/13/index.php
It is a little more expensive, but both kits use 13" rotors of comparable weight as well as the stock 88 fiero calipers. So once installed, I doubt anyone could tell the difference from the drivers seat. Problem solved.[This message has been edited by fieroguru (edited 02-09-2016).]

Is it going to be a kit of your own design, or are you back to working on a copy of my kit?

I dont think there are hundreds of ways to make a bracket that holds 88 calipers to a 13 inch Buick rotor ....Copy your kit NOPE .... but yes I will base my brackets on some of your pics.... will i do Resale... HELL NO too much liability issues .... and your brackets are a copy of someone elses design... by the way. I've been sending you many request to buy you kit for my VERT and you always said Got none and wont till maybe 2016 or later. .... buy from WCF nope either.
Hope that doesnt pi$$ ya off but I did find with the help of my brother (manager at NAPA) which disk you were using that way It will have the look I always wanted.... will I share my finding... NOPE ... dont have the need to....... that way I wont be accused of plagarising your kit...

If you know my rotor application, then you know it was never used before in a Fiero until I came out with the kit. It isn't from a Corvette, Viper, Camaro, Mustang, LeBaron, or any other previously mentioned application on this or any other Fiero forum... So if I was the first to use this particular rotor, exactly whose caliper bracket did I copy?
