Wow...this is a really old post lol anyways, i did have a question, anyone here work on their car outdoors in the midwest?... Being in college, I dont have a garage or shed to work in and am wondering if i should keep all the major work (99% of what restoring a truck is) till I find a sheltered place or if i should start tear down and just find a indoor place to store my parts?? any suggestions? Thx.....

I lived single for a long time before I got married about a yr ago. I'm talking sense 1988. Got used to doing things my way. I sold my place in the country.(REGRET IT everyday). Now I live in a city. I can almost stretch my arms out and touch the houses on both sides on My house. Not enough room to roll a truck between the houses to the back yard which is fairly large. So I bought one of those 18x20 carports you see around for 699.00 put it up in the back yard closed in the back and sides put a 7x8 garage door on the front wired it for ele. Store all my parts in it. Use it for sanding painting or what ever. The frame and cab are in the 2car garage. I made a deal with my little wife. I won't decorate the inside of the house with dead stuffed animals and other manly things and she won't put her (girlie) stuff in my shop or garage. We get along GREAT. .......................RUSTY

I thought by now our wives knew that we are creatures of simple needs beyond the obvious, all we really need in a home is a large driveway, a garage for our toys and a room with a big screen TV, the rest is just fluff

Shane: Did I hear yellow 56??? Yummy. Just finished one and I will never regret it. Anyway, the porta garage is 230.00 at pep boys with a 30.00 rebate, so 200 bux may save a bunch of grief. Some parts can go in rafters, in basement, at a friends house/gar, in the shed, at the body shop and in the cab. I am still finding parts that I had all over the place but did not use so I forgot them.
Fenders: the S/S bolt kit made of world of diff and looks great on yellow. Buttonheads add lots of detail.

EDIT>Woops,, me too. I just started writing. It's all good, and Fenders will still log in when he can. P/S Good idea Joe (Gaddy)

When i was outting back together my '68 IH my mom (i was 17 at the time) wouldn't give up her garage space either. I started putting it together in the front yard until she was tired of the neighbors complaining and she moved.

The easiest way if you have room enough is to build another garage. Let your wife keep her car in the old one and build the new one big enough that you won't have any future problems. My new garage is thrice the size as our old one
