Actually, I stopped working on it a year ago, when I ran in to a
too-few-ties-desired "wall" and my job gobbled up all of my time. I hope to
be "on the case" now.

Well, there goes my idea of ensuring that The Garage Queen figures
prominently on the tie.

I got a 24W x 21D a few years back; I can do about anything I want in it,
but only on compact cars. My nephew's 1989 Trans-Am fits, but it's almost
impossible to work on in there.

Yeah, and you know you'll always be wanting to bring home another "project
car", so make room. Once, with a hail storm immanent, I got all three
vehicles into mine, even with the divider between the two front doors.
Tough!

And go for enough ceiling height (9'+) for hoisting engines. I found a
knock-down hoist @ $250 cheaper than upgrading the structure of the garage
(and I can loan it out), but YMMV.
     
     >Two doors vs one

I chose two: easier on the electric garage-door openers, keeps Susan from
parking too close to the Tiger, and perhaps (?) adds a little strength too
the front wall.

I chose a perfectly flat floor, thinking I wanted to do my own front-end
alignments. Not sure I made the right move; still haven't bought the tools
to do so.



And also, "" THE SECRETS OF THE TIGER UNVEILED "" , sounded interesting
until the message listing the release date as April 1.  OK, I get it.
