Having only a tiny one car garage (that barely fits the car) myself,I have to ask where do you do all your work on it?
A good concrete pad and dry skies goes a long way. I do all my work outside whenever the weather permits. I was fighting the weather a bit trying to get the car ready for Gingerman last spring. Tarps for rain, extra clothes for weather, and a couple LED light sources either outlet or battery powered (elastic headlamps are great) for warding off the dark.

I give you a lot of credit, most of us that have a garage need a second one..

Thanks man. But it's my car that has to take all the credit for putting up with all the rain and sunshine. I'll get a roof over its head one day.

Got it. That probably wouldn't work too well for me in my neighborhood, at least for anything that would take more than a day.

My Summer was great, started building a new 540" BBC last winter, finished it this summer, actually started it for the first time on the 4th of July, and have been leaving rubber all over since! Just put the car away like 2 weeks ago, no big changes this winter cuz it ran so good i want to leave it alone!

Those neighborhood rules are killers. If I wasn't out in the country, I probably wouldn't have been able to do half of my big projects.

due to transmission and roof rot issues, most of the spring/summer was down time..... did manage to squeeze in some dashboard time between repairs though, and remembered why I love my t-tops!

winter will see ironing out a few more issues on the GP, and hopefully get some wrench time on the Regal...

Mine exploded in February, so, nada. I did nab this rare one year only '70 Buick 350 in June for a sweet price though. Quite an upgrade from my 7.8:1 mill from before.

My two gbodys just set the whole summer not touched. The El Camino is waiting on having the new motor torn apart again to have rings replaced. My Malibu is waiting on being put back together and finished to finally be driven.
