whats the details on it ?
basically it is a 28'x16' shed with two lean-tos making up 16x16 of it. The lean-tos are 8'x16' by themselves with the shed part being 12'x16'. The walls are going to be 8' tall. The trusses is going to be another 6' tall. With the flooring almost a foot off the ground it is going be tall, 15' at the peak. I'll have some loft space built in also. All my car parts in my garage will get moved in to the shed and any random stuff in the house will get moved out in to the shed also. I'll have two cars covered under lean-tos. I can't wait! I hope to build a 3-4 car garage in the next couple of years also. I put the project on hold but I got all the permit stuff taken care of so it is back to work.

Looking good!! And its always fun dealing with inspectors. I had one who decided he would add his own rules to my shed build ended up costing me a couple extra hundred dollars. But in the end I finally got it done. But I will never pull a permit again for anything I build unless I am building a house.

Very nice. Got any pics of the trusses you built? I noticed no one chimed in about the connectors, what did you end up doing?

There is going to be an 86 GLHS in the other bay. The shed is going to filled up with Shelby Dodge parts. Pretty much the reason I built it. I stock piled parts before the junkyards started drying up.

"Some girls like em tall", good looking project by the way!
about 15' at the peak. The cost to add on second "floor" or tall loft area wasn't much seeing how it almost doubles the storage space. It would have been dumb for me not to do it since I need the storage.... for the wife's ****. Motors on the bottom, wife's **** in the loft.

They are getting harder to find good parts for everyday. I wish I still had some of the parts we gave away back in the day. In about 85 I fell in love with a garnet and silver SC, Its been a obsession of mine ever since. But just like anything else, the prices are going up and the supply is going down. Glad to see you keeping the parts around!

Smart move building up and not out.

You can move in there when your wife kicks your *** out! Put some truss clips and straps in it make it stronger. Also my blocks settled into the ground after a few years, might need something more under it.

That is a beautiful collection of engines right there! Im jealous. You stay mostly with the 8valves? Ive had both, and had much better luck with the 8's. I even went as far as putting an 8 valve in a spirit r/t, made it much more dependable.
pretty much a 8v guy. I do have 3 r/ts though. one tona with 79k and a spirit with 72k. They arent beat on like the 8v. My daily for the last year has been a 87 CSX.
I have two SRT4s also. You cant beat them. 380whp (430whp dynojet) on pump gasand it makes 32mpg on the highway. They are great and seem to hold up well.

You are ******** for sure! I test drove a demo srt the year they came out with the limited slip. It was a fun car. I always wanted to get one, but just never have for some reason. I used to daily my spirit, until some lady rear ended it. Insurance totalled it, and I ended up using the engine in a turbo voyager. That was pretty fun, turned a few heads aswell. Currently I dont have any shelbys, but have been on the look out for a Spirit es, turbo of course. Just cant find one without much rot.
