What is a decent size/dimension of an enclosed structure to house an M35A2 and also have a workshop in it. And if there's a cement slab, how thick would it have to be? Thank you in advance.

Well... I guess it kinda depends on how much space you need to work around the truck. Me personally, I would add 5 feet on all four sides. that way you have enough room for a wheel dolly if you come across one. I suggest 4 inches on a well packed base of 5000# concrete.

Bumper to Bumper (assuming with winch) measures 328.7 and 97.5 width, Excluding Mirrors.

Thank you for your quick response. I do have room for a 20' by 40' structure. I'll just need to be sure to have a roll-up door tall enough to bring the MV into the structure.

Good Deal! I checked the dimensions for the max height in at 118.3
It can be reduced by removing the exhaust pipe and folding the windshield if you need to go into a tight space.

I have no problem getting a structure with an 11' or 12' roll-up door but I will pay attention to the width of the entrance. This will help when i have to insure the vehicle in order to get a cheaper yearly rate. Presently, i have insurance that does not require me to have the vehicle garaged but it costs more for my enjoyment here in California. Thank you again.

Yes sir! It should definitely cost a little less to have it in a garage.
Sadly, my collection sits out in the yard... :-(
Front yard and side yard too.

Nothing like having a place to work inside!
