I have registered for the "33 build school and plat to build a '33 roadster. My problem is that I only have a single car garage. It can hold a2010 Altima
Is this enough space to complete the build? Has anyone done this and if so how difficult was it?

I know that guys have built the Roadsters in single car garages. Built a body buck to hold the body above the frame and put it on rollers to move it out of the way. One guy used to build the car in the crate it was shipped in, in the parking space at his apartment.
I'm not sure how much a '33 would take, but it would probably be do-able if you could get the body up and out of the way.

Where thers a will...........I believe yes, if a roadster can then a 33 probably can.

For what it's worth, Your going to need more room. I rented a storage container 8'x20'. It cost $75 a month and was worth every penny. You can stage you project and put in your garage only what you need to work on. Get some roll around storage shelves. I got some nice ones from Costco and Lowes. These will help you alot in keeping things orginized. Good Luck! Tom

If its any help I'm building a '33 in a 16' x 30' garage and built a stand that rolls over the chassis (plenty of room left over). I kept most of the boxes in the garage and stored the doors, side panels, hood and trunk panels in the basement. I know I'm slightly larger than a standard single car garage, but hopefully it gives you some perspective.
Either way you'll find a way to make it work...Good Luck!
