Default Okay I might be an f-body hoarder

I went out to work on the Chevelle and had to move the black TransAm under the Chevelle (on the lift) to change a light bulb and tried to move the other TransAm convertible car out of the way but have too many f-body parts piled up on it. I have parted out about 15 Camaro and Firebirds in the last 10 years and can't make myself get rid of anything (I might need it someday). My 32 by 56 foot building and a 32 by 32 foot building is soo full of junk (F-Body parts) I can't even move around in either one without pulling something out. I see other garages on here that appear like they were built just before the picture was taken. How do they do that. I can guess how a guy like Jay Leno does it. I see and hear lots of great ideas here so lets have em. My head hurts from spilling this way.

Thanks, Tom

Might still be too ashamed for that but I might just post up so I don't beat myself up with the lazy stick. I have taken a corvette from Motor set-up from running with a hole in the oil filter to six grand smokey tire burnouts in less than two weeks.

The solution is pretty clear to me...you need a bigger garage!

That's another thing I'm afraid of, midnight shoppers got me once that I know of and I had a real nice 12 bolt rear out of a 70 Chevelle that was in a pile of 10 bolt truck rears and one 12 bolt truck rear. Gone...I need more building and a way to organize all this "junk"

Thanks, Tom

Seriously dude, it's a sickness and most of us here have it also. You're asking the drinks at the bar how to quit drinkin!! LoL! Get a bigger shop.... Then you'll just have more junk laying around to worry about. There is some goofy cosmic principle that happens.... Space is a vacuum!! Don't know how or why, but it is! Maybe need to have the government spend millions on a study to try and figure that one out! LoL!

It'll never change unless YOU change man.

What Jimmy said!!




"Stuff" expands, to fill the space allotted to it.






There once was a guy that came on here -- had a yard full of junk cars -- lamented that he had so many projects he couldn't finish them all. From the looks of it to me - he couldn't afford to do one let alone "all"... My advice to him at the time was to figure out the ONE that he wanted most - sell all the others in an effort to fund the one. That way he'd have one running nice car rather than 10 piles of junk.

His response was, that wasn't going to happen because "he needed" all of them. So to Jimmy's point - the problem was himself.
