Size of car body

[beetlespin]

Sorry....Can somebody please move this into the Roadster general forum.....





I have a two car garage but to keep the wife happy she will get to keep her car in the garage during my build.

Can somebody tell be the length and width of the car body?

I am probably going to purchase a small shed to keep all the parts and the fiberglass body in until needed.

The Roadster body is approx 14' X 6'.

Here is a photo of my 2 car garage. I put the buck stands on wheel dollies and strapped them down. Now I can roll it chassis anywhere when the wife is not home and push it out of the way when she is home.
If the photos don't post I'll post them again in a few days. Some reason they don't like posting from my phone

I plan to build a stand to keep the body on the right side of my garage so I can work on the chassis on the left.

Best thing you can do it leave the raw body outside.

I have been building my car inside my small farm shop an the body has been sitting outside on two saw horses all winter there are no issues with the body except it need a good washing

I left my body outside for about 18 months, summer heat above 110 winter as low as 28. no problems were encountered.

I agree, when I did the bodywork and paint on my dart, it sat in the garage for years, a few days in the summertime heat and a few waves and bubbles popped up.
