Cheapest (indoor) storage for a car around here is around $150 a month.
lol, I'm still cryin' over 3 of the vehicles I have let go in the past. Sad thing is every time it's been because of a storage issue.
Goodbye. Probably my last post here.

Pester friends, relatives, girlfriend's relatives, etc for a place to store it lol! Exhaust all options before throwing in the towel. The old saying, "where there's a will, there's a way", really has relevance. I've pulled more than one rabbit out of my *ss in my lifetime. If you have a vision you can make it happen. It just depends how bad you want it and how much trouble it's worth to you.
Well sh*t man, hate to say it but sounds like ya might be better off getting out of this hobby until your better situated. No shame in that. Can't be killing yourself over stress and wasting money because you have no place to keep it. That is one thing I've learned in my life, If I am gonna need a bunch of help to do something I'll wait until I do not need that help. I hate depending on others. Good luck with whichever direction you take.
ok well heres the best i can do for ya, i can load my tool box, drive there an have most of your issues fixed in a day, or drag your car to my place, free storage ill work on it here an it be sitting here when you can park it there, as for the valve covers i had the same prob awhile back, bought small covers and the rockers were hitting it where the divider bars were and where the inlets for pvc were, so had to get tall covers, problem solved, the eddy carb no worry i have 2 kits, jets, springs to get running, everything else is minor or sh*t man, you pay my gas and i will come, i got a few buds left in the hat that will come give me a hand if i need it

YAY HELPING! 
lol @ Beer's help
on the parking note...
I've heard living costs are incredibly high in Alberta. There is a ton of land and lots of industries...
BUT
the whole classic car hobby and hotrodding business is still a rare concept here... Car storage is only now starting to become more familiar in large cities.
I still find it hard to find storage for my car here in Ottawa... but again, there's not much of a car scene here. I'm not surprised parking is around $150 a month

I couldn't agree more. It's really tough to try to use your project car as your daily driver. I have been there before. :|
Khan, I know what you're saying. I think that's why portable garages sell so well at Canadian Tire.
$150 a month to store a car thats not bad price come to Longisland,NY and see how much it cost here to get a storage to park a car.If you can afford it do it so you can keep your car and put it away when the weather is bad.
I would take Caperkev up on his generous offer of help. You can't go wrong.
