Scott, saw your ad for wanted garage/unit in the co-op. :D
Ive discused it with the misses and if we cant find a place soon we are going to move out and rent a new place with a double garage. Serious commitment for a serious project :?
Oh, if i get a barn or something of course you can share. But the double garage is one for the chassis, one for the shell :lol:





p.s. thats a 'new find' BD samba boat top, not the one that was found a few years ago.
