Hello all -
I found this forum while searching for info on a build I'm starting. I'm getting a late start for NY build but I hope to be framed and working on interior stuff before the true dead of winter. I'm planning a 28 x 34 garage which is the biggest I can do considering site / zoning restrictions.
The primary purpose of this build is to complete an in progress full restoration of a 1954 Ford Sunliner that my dad bought new in 54. My dad and I have restored many cars together over the years but always either in a driveway, or at off site locations. Neither of us ever had a working garage. He passed away a little more than a year ago so it's time to begin the build in his memory.
He always said it was his dream to have his own shop to work in. I am retired from law enforcement after my 27 year career ended when I was struck by a drunk driver breaking my hips and back. Having a clean, dry working space with a lift will allow me to finish the car without too much bending and laying on my back.
I will post pictures of the build as it progresses and look forward to becoming an active and contributing member of this group.

hope the garage comes out how you want it. The car rebuild sounds a good idea, it'll keep you going.
oh!! welcome ( a year and a half late )
