you have no idea. the only advantage of getting his running and driving is to be able to work on mine in the garage. Ill still have to surrender the garage to my moms suburban per my fathers orders. But we do have in the works of possibly building a shop soon...

I have a 40x80 building, a 24x32 and a 3-car atached garage just so nothing has to be left outside, not even my car hauler or tractor.. To much moisture here in Michigan and moisture = rust.. I will buy a building before I buy any classic car if I dont have a building to put it in..

In my father-in-law's warehouse, which is air conditioned. He has a beauty supply business so it is parked between shelves packed with lipsticks, shampoos, nail polish, etc etc.
I have kept it outside my house for a few weeks at a time under cover, but really, it is just not right. I need to build a garage.

Mine will be outside, as I sadly dont have a garage but NEED one! It will be always covered if not in use, and Im going to really rust proof this thing, POR-15, internal frame spray, and I'm also going to frequently detail / clean it to preserve its condition. During the winter, ill probably store it in my grandparents garage.
