That looks like it should handle a few Corvettes. Looks great.

I like it. Hoping to start on one this year myself.
Why wood? I'm considering it myself. Everyone keeps saying buy a prefab metal but I think I can build it myself cheaper.

It's all stick built by a 4 man crew. I chose wood with vinyl siding so it would match my house.
