I'm looking in to a gambrel style roof to see if that would work for me.

Revised plans..........
I looked into a gambrel style roof and it would be the same price ($4500) give or take, however it gives me a lot more room to work with. It would give me a peak ceiling height of 7 feet vs 3 feet which would allow me to get full use of the lift just by offsetting it by about a foot. Where as I would hit the ceiling with the truss design. We also talked about cutting the original trusses and I was advised against doing that. The cost of getting an engineer involved would be crazy for the little gain in ceiling height it would give me. Seeing this design makes the cost a lot more justifiable in my eyes. What do you guys think?

One caution I would add is if you decide to store a car in an enclosed trailer is to open it up and check on it frequently and air it out. Or possibly put a dehumidifier in there as well that you can cycle off and on periodically. I also ran out of room due to too many toys so I stored my 69 Trans Am in my 20 ft enclosed for about a year. The humidity is very high where I live in the summer and It "sweated" (condensation) appearantly a lot. Fortunately I moved it to dry inside storage at my business before It caused serious issues.

Overhead Door has a door opener that attaches to the torsion bar to open the door. Way better than the ones most of us have that hang from the ceiling.
You never have to worry about getting the car too close to the unit. Not he one I saw but it works the same.... RSX Operator https://www.overheaddoor.com/commerc...or-accessories

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
