Welcome and nice ride!! How much space will you need for this to be set up? I may be able to help with storage facility. I have a very close friend that owns storage facility in Plant City. Units I think are at the largest of 12x35. Let me know I will see what I can do.

Thanks a ton for the comments and offer. Plant City may be a little far away but all depends on the location of the house I find. One issue may be the 12ft. width. Once the lift is installed, there wont be much room to walk around it.
When you get a chance, see if he possibly has anything wider. Also, height is a major concern. I do need something where I can fully lift a car without making it a convertible.
Thanks again for your help and hope we can work something out.

Thanks...It will see a 50/50 mix of track days and weekend crusing. I have a TON of parts plus a cage still sitting on shelves waiting to be installed. I'm just too much of a wuss to go out there and do it in 20 degree weather.

I appreciate you checking on that for me. I really need to go out and measure to determine the smallest unit I could get away with (height, width and depth). Of course location means something too, I'm just not 100% sure (within a 30mi radius) of where I will find a house that suits me. I have found a few and am only looking at ones with a dock on the intercoastal for now. I like boats too!
Thanks again and I will be sure to let you know one way or the other as time gets closer.

Damn, I need to get going on boxing. You never seem to realize how much crap you have until you have to move it all.

Thanks...a little bird tells me that can be arranged!
P.S. I have always loved your drawings ever since I first saw them on BF.C. You have some serious talent!

Welcome to FG.
As for the keg of PBR, if you tap it, we definitely will come.
I almost got offended when I saw "pickups w/ straight pipes" in the original post, but then I saw "overalls", we don't wear those here, so we're good.
To bad you're not moving to Polk County, there are tons of shops, especially in Winter Haven.

I'll take that as a good thing!
A good friend of mine has decided to move with me. She has a sweet supercharged (yes I mean't that..not turbo) Jetta dumped on RS6 wheels. I told her about this site and we both look forward to hitting up some meets soon!
