Is the garage door frame really much worse than trusting the cheap pos oem bumper holding the whole sled up? Obviously it works... but man that would have been hard for me to put enough trust in the couple 6mm bolts holding the bumper to the bulkhead

she looks like she should be a blast this year though!

Started on the restoration of an eu3000is. Pretty rough shape so it got stripped. All parts are getting cleaned and/or repainted.
New cylinder head from the C.H ina company installed.

Thats what I have in mind with a little more storage on top. Someone told me to try old kitchen cabinets which is a good idea because lumber is so pricey right now

yes it’s hard to beat used kitchen cabinets. Easy to make or order new doors to suit your decor but the basic structure is there, try and find older all plywood cabinets instead of particle board if possible.
garage journal.com has a thread on this

even better is if you can find some cabinets from an industrial setting like a lab or similar.
