Too long!!

[Mariort]

Hello Friends, I am new here and need some help. I jut bought a 1959 El Camino and it is too long for my garage. I dont plan to live here over one year so an expensive investment is not an option. I did see an exterior mounted roll up garage door that might help but I have no idea where to buy. Anyone have suggestions??

THANKS,
MARIO

Too long.......by how much. And a picture would be quite helpful. And, welcome to Garage Journal! And it also might help if we knew where you were from....at least a State.

Honestly, if youre absolutely moving in 1 year why not rent a garage in town somewhere that can house the car?

Maybe a friend or neighbor?

Id spend the cash on that before wasting any time or money on the current home.

How about a car cover?

Like this???

Or you could modify the door....

Beware the rental spaces. I rented a 10 x 20 last year for my 68 chrysler 300 convertible, (19 ft/6") and I had to bump the bumper against the wall with a pad and then pull the door away to clear the back bumper. Oh, it went for $100 / month but was close, clean & safe.

I can offer you some free storage space in my garage.....but you'll have to leave the keys. Just in case.

You trying to work on the El Camino or just park it inside?

I miss my old 59 El Camino........

By the way welcome here dude..

Thanks for the advice guys. I live in Santa Barbara ca and renting a garage will set me back $300. I was hoping to find a door that I could easily mount on the outside.

Same thing happened witha friend I sold my '69 Mercury Monterey to. He had to park on his drive & the *** end of the car blocked the sidewalk.
One morning there was a "Buy a shorter tank" note stuck to it from a neighbor..
