I don’t have a garage, and my street is a pretty damn decent hill. And to get any serious or major work done, it has to be somewhat nice out, and at that, since I’ll be working 50+ hour work weeks, I’ll probably have to leave things disassembled and stuff, which I don’t want in the street.

Didn’t know if anyone knew of any other websites that advertise garage space, or anyone that knows a of place, or any other ideas I might be missing…thanks…

I know TJ rented out a self storage unit to keep his Camaro in, but he didn’t work on it in there I don’t think. You might be able to work a deal with one to where they give you a stall close to some electric hook up and let you run an extension cord… the economy sucks I’m sure you can find someone willing to take your money.
