Project Car - Storage advice?

I have the project car bug again. The problem is I can't find out where to store the darn thing. My garage is small at my house, and I have one teenage driver and about to have 2 more. The house isn't an option. Local storage units are around $150 a month where I live. I am posting this for some "think outside the box" ideas that maybe I haven't come up with.

Plan B will be to wait until the kids move out, or my OCD moves on to another project/obsession 😄

I deal with this on a constant basis. I don't have a garage, we have 4 motorcycles and 4 cars. It's a constant dance. 3 of the 4 bikes go into my walkout basement in the Winter time and I roll them in for major work in the Summer and use an ATV ramp to go over my door's hump.

My 'project car' is stored offsite in a $75 a month barn that has electric for a battery tender but I can't do work over there so I drive it over to my dirt driveway for projects and use rhino ramps / jack stands for under car work.

We keep 1 car at my in-laws off-season since we had 2 cars for winter, one for summer only so we always have one stored there and we just pull the battery and keep it on a tender at our place in the off-season.

It's not easy but we make it work, not sure how I'd deal with having also 2 kids who drive.

That looks interesting. I'm thinking about adding a carport with solar panels for the roof and versatube sells just the frame. Thanks for the link.
