20x29 is big. You could have a lift at the far end with a loft over the door.

I maxed out my setbacks at 26x40 with 13’ ceiling which comfortably fits 3 vehicles with ample fab room. To maximize storage I did 10/12 roof with W trusses, so my attic has 12’ wide storage aisle with knockdown shelving in it, seems to work ok even if it is awkward getting the bigger stuff up top.

I did lots of research over at www.garagejournal.com, tons of great ideas there.

Oh, to have a shop...

Oh, to have a shop...

Dude, you are getting it done!
Driveway style, plus rotisserie...

Thanks for the link.


I haven’t had one since I moved 6 years ago.
Having one before was the bestest thing I ever in my whole entire lifespan.

Used to build big stuff and it was a life saver building chassis or SAS. Just “want” it now. A place to slowly work on Model A too.

Thanks Pablo, yes, getting done, but this is me at the thought of having a shop...

You are well on your way to being a full-fledged member of the “TFBPPTC” now you just need a picture of a baggie with a Toyota part and factory sticker and you’ll get the decoder ring!

FYI, if you want them to teach you the secret hand shake you’ll need a picture of the ever elusive NOS ultra-hard to find Toyota part.

Here are a few more tips

Might get some peace and quiet, eh?

Dropped some tires off at @TachedOutOffRoad ’s house for @Godwin today and was able to inspect the Pig.

I like it. I missed the part that it’s a Pig Ear 1968. My favorite year Pig.

I also see plenty of room for a shop.

Is that a new 55 specific upper tailgate weatherstrip in that first pic?

Were red seats Oem in 68/69? I think I’ve seen another 69 that had em too

In a 55? I’ve never seen anything but black in the early ones

One of the weirdest and funniest things I’ve ever seen.

The dual snorkels takes it to 11.

Thank you

I thought flying out and driving this back was a bit crazy for a crusty Army Chief Warrant Officer but then somehow I missed the part that he’s a Marine to boot.

Its all crystal clear now.
