Finally reallized that I would not be working on it, so I sold it VERY cheap. Now my garage is back full of stuff since I lost my "shed". It was awesome to keep bulky stuff like snow wheels ect out of my way. Now I just put my snow wheels in the truck on my '65 Chevelle, which is also currently just sitting waiting it's turn on priority list.

Post by: roger97338 on March 23, 2011, 07:43:46 am: Awesome! And, if you need to move...find an old axle and BAM! Your shed is now a trailer.

(By the way, I liked your "BAM!". Life would be better if way more sentences had "BAM!" in them.)
