Re: 55 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100
Thanks for the complements BUT its really kind of a mess in my mind. I cannot recommend this type of garage at all for vehicle storage. Its basically a semi enclosed carport which cannot be easily insulated and acts like a giant water condenser in moist climates. This moisture will speed rust and why you need to think about your choice of materials and how to protect them. Forget chromed anything in one of these---- only plastic, painted or stainless will survive. Also Rain noise will drive you out and falling pine cones sound like explosions. Due to runaway inflation it cost the same as the really wonderful garage shown in this threads early pics. BTW the inside lights are all on a timed motion sensor which i really like and under 24 hr floodlight net camera which seem to amuse the deer and cougars. (see post 473)
Those who still have the $ to restore these old vehicles need to seriously consider the cost of protecting them from rotting away. This especially now they are easily approaching $40-75K in value
I think converting old florescent shop light to leds is best but not cost effective anymore.
