    my stepfather has one of them, not as big, just can fit 1 truck under it, but it works nice, much better than those canvas car ports

    !Badmav. I have about 1200 in it so far counting gravel, concrete and carport,the carport cost 805. Probably have about 2000 time i close it in and insulate it. I have a freebie 10ft garage door and 4 ft walkin door. Thats doing all the work myself.Rick you might wanna wait till then to live in it so you wont freeze to death;)

    I have another shop to work on the grabber in so this will be for the Comet and our Bikes only. The other carport is mine also but the Mustang belongs to my nephew . He is keeping it here until he finishes college cause he still lives with his mother.

    It looks good!!
    BTW-I am going Sat. to look at that '73 Grabber parts car. I'll
    let you know if there is anything worth having that I don't keep
    IF I buy it.
