My uncle built a Model T Speedster in his basement from basically scratch- collected every component individually and refinished it to new condition. The plan was to build it, get it working, then dismantle it and rebuild it outdoors.
Well... it just looked to good and worked to well, so when his wife went to Florida for a week, he rented a backhoe and made a garage entrance to his basement.
I don't have a photo of his car, but it's similar to this.
