If you had over 50K to 90K to invest in a building what would you have done different to make working on these old type of trucks.Maybe a 15Ton 4 post truck lift.
Whatever size you think you need double it. Crane would be nice but then you get into heavy steel and that pushes the budget out.Insulation for sure, heat and or AC. Other than that my shop suits me perfectly.

My next will be a full warehouse living space or a 80 x 160 +
