Mine is full, but nothing like that.

See the rhmt shops thread for pics, too lazy to bring it over here.

my 2.5 car garage is clean, has my H-T style civic in it and some spare parts, big work bench, steel shelving for spares. My bay at work is pretty clean to considering the amount of flat rate work that gets pumped out of it.

I don't have a garage but half my parents old 4 stall used to look like that until they moved and I had to get all my shit out. Everyone thought I'd have to just give it all away cause of the short notice and thought I'd be pissed. Best thing I did was spend a couple bucks on cheap 2x4's and a couple sheets of plywood. hell 2x3's are even cheaper and work just fine.

I put all my shit in crates, build a frame out of the sticks 4' x 4' x 4' then cover it with the plywood. That way you can pull any side off you want and it will still hold. when I made my frame I put a shelf at 2' high and a honda block just barely fits under it on it's flyweel so I have 4 motors on just the bottom of the first crate along with a couple tranny's and misc shit. I made a simple sheet that showed were everything is so when I need something it's just a cordless drill and a couple minutes away (course my free storage is 40 minute drive) It's amazing what you can fit in 2 crates and then still have a plethora of room and the tops make a nice shelf.

My friends garages look like that or worse though and nothing pisses me off more than when I feel I owe to help them so I take time out of my non existent free time and waste an hour looking for the right tools or pats so we get nothing done.

Edit: hell stop by old warehouses and take the palets they throw out for a base. All the shit around here is rough cut oak and way stronger then the shit studs they sell at homo depot. Tear a couple apart and use a couple good ones for bases. Then your shit is off the ground so it doesn't get fucked with moisture. And you can make it a better height since you use your garage, mine is in a barn and 4' I only had to rip the plywood in half and my shit was ready to throw together. Make it work bench level and have a great place to work on the top, all you engines and shit neatly below.

ya me and my dad have some ideas for shelves and storage. It wouldn't be half as bad as it is if there was a cabinet or something to put the small parts in. The more i look the less stuff is there its just all over the damn place and needs organized badly. I moved everything out of the way and have the 4x4 backed up to the door now and I have half a truck load of useless junk so far lol. I should probbly sell some of this shit that we have had for 20+ yr and are never going to use $:-\$

I dont have a garage in AL, but the stuff I have at my mom's in NY consumes a 9 car garage, everything from model A parts to three wheelers, snowmobiles, camaros, mustang, engines, transmissions, power tools, machinery, and misc parts. Have no fucking clue how I will ever get it all down here.

caged · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2009, 01:32:09 AM »

I use to have a messy garage like that, then I had to move and promised myself to never to do that again.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2009, 09:43:29 AM »

It wasn't messy, it was just alot of shit in not enough space. Messy now, my little brother has likely fucked alot of my stuff up

I can arrainge moving services for a portion of your perfectly good shit.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #18 on:** June 07, 2009, 04:54:36 PM »

I was going to move back up there, My grandfather had a 60 acre cattle farm just outside Buffalo, 3000sq foot barn would have made a perfect garage/shop. Plus it was on a main road. Wish I could afford to get it, 150k is all its selling for.

Umm, go apply for a loan, everywhere. 150k for that shit is ridiculously cheap

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2009, 05:05:25 PM »

No, disagree. Keep mismanaging your shit so I can get some of your cool shit.

Its somewhat in the works, trying to get the wife to find a steady job. She has serious back problems and cannot sit or stand very long.

Dude, I would kill for 60 acres and a 3000sq/ft barn, around here that is around 3 million dollars= something I want but could never afford.

let me get the 427 I got one in my nova and want another

Logan76 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 08, 2009, 01:42:25 AM »

Holy shit, you need some storage space. Ever think of picking up an old box trailer off a tractor trailer? You could probably find an old one thats out of use pretty damn cheap, then if you ever moved, it would be a simple process?

I wish this one was the normal version and not the tall deck truck version. to run it I would need a special intake and dizzy. I want to put it in our 79 gmc 4x4. The 350 is having a hard time moving it 6700lb lol

I thought of that but unfortunately my yard is tiny and there is not enough room for one
