 Oh, I don't know, I've done it, but you're right, I will probably 
outfit the building with an "overnight" facility to house my wife 
and I when we're down there. It'll definitely be a weekend thing, or a 
LONG day, to work on my cars

Are you going to have any AMC's at your house
> or just at the 3 hour away garage?


  I will have some at the house, hopefully only the "running and 
driving" vehicles after awhile. I have room for 20 at home, IF I pack 
the driveway double-wide. LOL. But I think realistically, umm, 
probably ideally I should limit it to about 8 of my cars, and the 
wifes single car. That would leave me with plenty of room to work 
around stuff. I have a nice driveway! One of the main features that 
attracted me to the house to begin with. 

 Did you ever get the new springs in
> the Pacer? 

  I restarted that project 2+ weeks ago, but the purchase of the 
building, a "new" '94 Jeep Cherokee, and some other legal things kept 
me busy, I did get one old one off, and a new one quasi-installed, not 
attached to the axle yet. I hope to get back on it next week for sure!

 The nice thing about the Minnesota club deal was, you could build 
your own enclosed area inside the warehouse, so you could lock your 
tools and car up. Besides, they rarely had trouble, and enough guys 
were there all the time so as to make it difficult for anyone to break 
into a cage anyway. I think my friend did mention they had one or two 
break-ins, all by "newer" club members, and they were kicked out when 
found out, and the tools recovered. But for the most part, it went 
well, if I remember correctly.

  Yes, I think I did, this way it's only MY vision and I get MY way, 
no one else to share it with. But I would have shared up here, if I 
could have found partners. Just no one who had extra money to do it, 
and real estate is too expensive in this area, for the most part. 
  I'm willing to travel a few hours for the price savings, others 
aren't. But if you want spare cars, you need a cheap place, so it's an 
acceptable trade off to me ( 24 cars, hopefully to be pared down to 14 
or so eventually ). I'll need some luck to get alot done quickly this 
year!
