I guess I dont understand the question. My ceiling is only 8 foot in the garage. But I had to take the metal tip off the nose cone to get it to stand up.

He is not building a Nike Smoke. His is correct. The NC is also different. Google it for details.

I can't tell if you have incorporated the larger payload area in your rocket. It's be the blue area in the picture. It was 1.125 inches wider than the 16.5 motor and about 42.75 inches long then there was a stepdown like on a Nike Smoke. Basically it was like they took a Nike Smoke nose cone, cut it at the widest part, added a 42.75 inch tube and put the three pieces together.

There is no payload bay in my sustainer. It is Head End Deploy. When the rocket is fully painted the silver, red, silver, blue, olive green, and 2 white fins will be there. It is scale in size to diameter, height, and fin dimensions. but the slight alterations of the upper portion of the rocket is not gonna matter to me.

When this flies at some point do you want to attend with your set of calipers to check dimensions? I had to say it lol.
