I wish there was a affordable source for springs. I pick them up if I see them for under 20 a set, but seriously spotty at best. The guys with the large inventories usually let me know if they get any decent amount in.

Let me put this right here in your head
sometimes I regret opening the thread during work
Anyone have experience with the temporary shelter/garage/carport things? Recommendation? I was thinking about one for the hot rod instead of just a tarp this winter. Originally I was going to keep it in the garage, but after cleaning yesterday, it seems I would rather have a work area to make working on the Charger this winter so very much easier.
I was looking at something like this.

Thanks, I thought so, not sure his thoughts if so. Hope he chimes in. @Tooljunkie
Make sure they are tied down solid, wind out here takes it's toll on them.
It does seem the wind is the #1 issue with these of all brands. We can get quite windy here in the winter as well. Maybe just leave the tarp over it
Way before I met him, a friend of mine used to race a white '56 Ford called "Chicken Shift" at MN Dragways, but this was back before they closed in the mid-70's (when I was 10 or so).
I have no pictures of the car, and not sure where Jerry is these days, but as far as I know he's still racing his Y-blocks.

Many farmers here in the valley are usin' these things now
They seem to withstand the frequent 30mph winds we get in spring.
The wind here in the valley would detonate that I'm afraid.
Just my 2 cents , guy across the road from me had one only lasted maybe 2 years , sun and weather really did a number on it. Look into a container like hoppy has I think they have 10 ' x 20 ' .

Hmmm good idea
Looks like I could get a 20' for $2200 or a 40' for $4-5000 ish. Outside this fall's budget.
Damn the fire is close... right at 4000 acres.
Good friend of mine has had one of these for 15-20 years. For the most part it's in the shade (heavy tree cover), and out of the wind as well (ditto). Don't know the brand, or where he bought it, but I could ask, if you'd like some info.
Seems to have held-up to MN winters as well.
(Edit: Just tried to get a Google Earth satellite image of it, but too many trees.)
