You are correct lol,would be badass lol. I live at a apartment complex and you can rent the storage units.I use mine as a mini storage primarly a garage for casper my 1994 caprice. As you can see in the pic below the garage is super tight. Only way car fits in there is if i take the front plate frame off. Check out my lt1 powered water tank lol.

Hey can you post pics of the underside of the hood its self? I realize this is an old thread I'm just wondering how much supporting there is.
