Mind if I ask how much it cost for parts? I'm trying to convince my Dad to build an addition to our garage since it is currently full of junk from 20+years ago.

Looks good. At least until it rains.

Enough of my smart remarks. I couldn't resist.

I really wish that was sitting in my back yard. It looks great so far!

The wall thats faces our back yard was torn down leaving a big huge door for my truck to go in. We will have a good supply on jacks/jack stands. And Lifts...ye they cost way to much LOL.
