Hey don't laugh here as I know a fellow that restored a Bugeye in the
house over the Winter , since he had no garage. With the help of some
friends he removed the windshield and wheels , tipped the car on its
side and brought it in through the front door on a creeper! Try to top
that. He now has an LBC shop and makes a living out of them, but not
in his house.
