........Lastly is it space under a fixed roof (like a garage under a room
in the house) or are there rafters or trusses--if the latter you can often
re-engineer to get a few extra feet.

TR250


I have about an 8.5 ft ceiling in my garage with truss roof construction.
 While not a trivial endeavor, there are approved methods for reinforcing a
cut truss.   I created a pocket about 14 or 15 inches into the ceiling for
the greenhouse of a vehicle to park into.  In the driving season, I stack
my '71 Spit bodied GT6 and a '61 Ford Falcon - either on top.  I have a two
post lift - and wish it were a 4 post lift for the convenience (speed) of
swapping cars.
