Thanks goes to Rob Podel (aka: cash68) for a link found in his restoration project (currently featured on Build Threads website).
In the Garages section; Project Garage Condo. Starting on page 1 and skipping to pages 15 and 23 covers most of the finished details. Other photos of the construction are scattered throughout the 31 page thread, including Cobra build projects on photos pages 23-31. Hey, you can never have too many projects!
If you live near Minneapolis [Chris], you may be familiar with the AutoMotorPlex; 11 buildings, 175 garage condo units and a 4000 square foot clubhouse with a bar/big screen tv’s/kitchen for ‘owner’ gatherings, events.
Holy crap - I live about 5 minutes from this place!!
After I get cleaned out in my impending divorce maybe I CAN live here. Great price if I can sleep and cook there!!! I’m thinking Batcave.

I missed their big show a few weeks ago. The photos shown are of the annual show where they open up the garages and let people tour around and check out the fancy cars in the works and in storage. A friend of mine went and said it was incredible the amount of money flowing through that place. Multiple Lambos and Ferarris in one garage. Cobras. It’s amazing.
