Default Need help in the Atco area

Hey guys I am trying to get my car finished and on the track to beat on her a little bit this year before the weather changes.

I am in the Army and they have me TDY at FT Dix. The good news is I am staying at the Summerfield Suites on RT 73 in MT Laurel so life isnt to bad.

Problem is my car is back at the house in Maryland and I dont ever get to work on it to wrap up the final things which right now are:

Belts for alternator and vacuum pump

Making a new lower radiator hose

finishing the intake from the filter to the TB

driveshaft and torque arm

finish getting the collectors on the headers (They are VERY VERY TIGHT!!!)

and then a bunch of little stuff like fenders/hood back on, seat in, carpet it, build a box to cover the fuel cell.

Here is what i am looking for, maybe one of you guys knows some way to get around this problem without parking the car in the hotel parking lot.

I need some place where I can SAFELY store the car and have someplace to work on it on the nights and weekends. I dont know if storage units allow you to workon vehicles parked in them, I dont think so.

Any ideas?????

Thanks
Mike
