Sixty footer of C's

[cbarge]

Took 2 days but all running cars are home.
All 3 C's take up the whole driveway!!
It was only a matter of time that I got kicked out of my storage after the 90 year old owner passed away back in September.
He made sure before he passed that I could stay the winter.
I am gratefull the family honoured his wish stated in his will I stay till I build my garage.
Now his estate is going up for auction and the family needed the shop to set up auction.
But I was not the only one with cars on there.
2 66 Galaxies had to be removed as welll.
My Waygun we pushed outside as the motor is messed up.
We should be starting to build at home very soon.
Waiting on the excavation/ concrete guy.
I have to tear down the white shed behind Grace to make room fir a 32x32 shop with a 12 foot carport

Both are 500 XL meaning they both have the bucket seat floor shift console.
The black one is a 352 with factory sir and cruise-o-matic.
Blue one is a base 289 car.
Been parked inside since 2012 when the owner could no longer drive them due to health issues..

when you build the shop think about allocating some space for a 4 post lift for storage in the winter.

Step ahead of ya, bud!
One side will have a 4 post .
The city has height restrictions, the shop cannot be taller than the house.
So I picked out arched roof trusses for added interior ceiling clearance.

Here is a shot of one side of the old shop, with underground hoist.
The other side was where we did winter storage.
George was a good man. I do miss him and now miss using the shop.
