Kansas City Auto Museum's New Facility - "The Underground"

[5chn3ll]

I kind of like The Underground - there's just enough double meaning to make it interesting.

Webcams members can use to check on their cars might be a cool touch - other than coming up with a way to secure the UI so only paying members can control the cameras, the ongoing cost would be negligible.

I wouldn't encourage on-site wrenching, but having a few services (like battery tenders available for rent. You could also have air pigs for airing up soft tires, and a couple of jump-start packs as "freemiums."

Well, we are getting the first paying customers in The Underground on July 27th. We still have a lot of work to do, but things are coming along nicely. My garage got commandeered to be a spray paint booth by the painters that are re-painting our cabinets, so I threw 3 ofthe hooptie fleet in there this morning.

Good ideas. The security system that we have being installed will have 10 cameras connected via cloud-based software, so we can have an unlimited number of people monitor them. I had not thought of allowing the car owners to check on their cars using it. That's a great idea. The only issue is that the 10 cameras are looking over the entry/exit points, rather than being focused on the cars. They will show quite a few cars in the background. I think we could add some cameras relatively cheaply to do that. That's a really good selling point for the customers.

Battery tenders will be allowed, but not provided. We have an approved list of models (e.g. - anything CTEK is allowed) and then the staff can approve a battery tender. We will have an outlet at each stall for a battery tender.

No maintenance will be allowed, but we will allow detailing. So, you show up early on a Saturday morning to display your car in a show, you can detail it inside before you leave. I hadn't thought about jump packs or an air pig, but I'll put them on the list to procure. We will have a golf cart, so we can just keep that stuff on the cart.

Who owns the "pale" car?

We bought that one sight unseen off the internet out of Dallas back in June 1999. Everybody thought I was crazy for buying a car off an internet ad. Here are a couple of better pics:
