you shouldve seen my workspace when i put one truck in it , i barely can open the passenger door and i need a different kind of garagedoor that goes out and down instead of straight down to prevent it from hitting the bonnet when its backed up against the rearwall

If your into this hobby, never build anything smaller than 60x40 for a shop. Anything else is tooooooo smallllllll.

What if you live in Boston and are limited by the town on how big? Should I do without?

The finished height inside came out to be 13' 6".
If you have not bought your door openers yet look at the sidewinder by Liftmaster, gives you a bit clear space above the doors
