Where do you keep "The Goods" ?

I want to know where do you keep all of your parts? Do you keep them in the yard? Do you keep them inside? Do you put a tarp over them? Do you keep them in a shed? Do you like green eggs and ham? My problem is is that i have soo much stuff i dont know where to keep it right now its all out side rusting away. I would realy like to put it inside, but no room too many cars in there already. i just dont know what to do and need some ideas im trying to get my stuff organised and the shop cleaned up.

Thanks, Chris

 

Have small walk in storage shed built in your backyard. They make some big enough to put a work bench and still have storage space.

have you put storage in the rafters of your garage??

 

Some are in my garage at my apartment complex, some are in my dad's garage, some are in the shed at my parents, some are in closets around my apartment, and some (wheels.tires, grill shell, steering wheel, dash rail) are in the corner over there. The rest are in other people garages waiting to be sold to me at the next swap meet.

 

Single car garage with my 49 in it and various parts crammed in it so I can barely fit the car in and work on one side of it during winter. Then I have a stockade fence on the side of the house with a concrete pad and a shed in the back for yard tools and bulk parts I need stored long term.

 

Everywhere.......I keep them in a boat, I keep them with a Goat, I keep them in the rain, I keep them on a train, I keep them in the dark, I keep them in a tree, I keep them in a car, Now Let Me Be.........I keep them in a box I keep them with a Fox, I keep them in a house, I keep them with a mouse, I keep them here and there, I keep them Everywhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

1968 plymouth in the garage.
Prepped 327 block on the stand in the garage.
Parts for said block in on and around the bench.
Saginaw 4 speed under the bench.
Swap meet parts for sale in boxes next to the Plymouth.
"keeper" parts in the attic in the garage.
46 ford frame is at work in a garage.
46 ford parts, body, 53 chevy truck, and much more at Dad's place.
54 chevy truck is at the aunts house. I cut her grass in return for storage.

 

Garage and basement, they sell crack about 6 blocks from here...

 

I use the space above 6 feet all around the shop I hang everything I can. Plus I built storage areas above the hanging stuff. Shelves can't have too many shelves. Also I stick stuff I know I am not going to need with in the next couple months in the barn where squirrells and possums, 36 ford parts and Nova parts live. I put as much as I can on rollers so when I need to move stuff it's not a big deal. I had a freind that just past away but he kept model "T"s in his rafters

 

Thanks for the ideas guys. i think im going to organive it in a barn i have catagotize it all and put the small parts and valuable parts in the shop on shelves and hang them from the roof i am also going to build a bigger loft than the one i have so i can store more stuff inside. Ill take some pics when its done.

rent huge building and stack it on nice racking.

 

The good goods go under the bed till needed..........

 

In my shop there is an 8 foot wde by 40 foot long storage area on the second level (behind the fake second story storefronts.) The walls up there are lined with 2 foot deep adjustable shelves. It holds a lotta crap, but as you probably guessed, its full.

 

I got my three kids grown and out of the house, and I'm slowly but surely taking over their bedrooms!

 

I keep the Harley, 41 panel in the garage,
383 stroker at the machinest's till I'm ready for it...
and all my goodies that cost 500.00 or more for a part/piece...are in my house close to the owner, his german shepard, 45acp ...untill assembly is complete, and then I may park the whole thing inside the house...

 

I went to Mayflower Moving and got moving crates and have them along the side and back of my "Dodge House"

 

i try to keep as few parts as necessary in the garage, tools take up all that space. most are in a storage shed, some fairly light stuff goes in the attic above the garage, motorcycle parks in the house. shiney chrome stuff, gauges, mag wheels, etc. goes in the livingroom. now don't go and rob me.

 

I keep stuff in sheds and grain bins.

My wife would not let me bring a motorcycle in the house!

 

all of the above.

 

I miss out on alot of killer stuff due to the lack of space in my meager digs. 17x24 shop dont hold alot. I am constantly throwing stuff out to make room just to work. I'm missing out on a 54 gmc pu in my area for $250 just because I dont have anywhere to stash it...

 

My dad's an electrical contractor so one of his gang boxes disappeared from a job and ended up behind our garage... weird?!

somtimes I keep them in the yard cuz finding space inside is hard. I keep some at my in-laws place...my garage ran out of space. cant shut the door..shit's spilling out. my wife says "NO" so I start to pout.she finaly gives in and says ok can I park this one in yours today. I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them sam I am.

 

I've found that trashcans w/ good lids hold lots of stuff and keeps everything clean and dry all year long- gotta nice neat row of 'em alongside the garage. I write what's in 'em on the lids w/ a mark alot

 

I've got parts all over the place,work,dads house ,I've even got parts on the dresser in my bedroom.
If you have to store it outside, put it on a pallet and cover it up.Try to keep them from rusting any further.

Father in law has three car garage got my frame and drop axle hanging on the wall cause now I have two Fairmont track inspection cars (trains), several original A motors and tranny's on a pallet with tarps over them, Just bought a bldg in Wilkes Barre PA that is empty to move my stuff into. Anyone wanna trade space for parts?

 

In my basement under the deck in my garage and some pieces i have scatered at frin=ends places.
i had a storage unit but iI'm alomost moved out of it.

looks like I'm gonna have to have a garage sale.

 

We keep our Model A parts in an old shed we call the "A Hole"

 

In the back yard, on the patio, in a side room of the house, in the kitchen (38 hubcaps look good above the kitchen cabinets), in the garage, on Ol'Fueler's land in Utah (hopefully only for a little bit longer), and I think I may have even had some in the dining room for a bit. What gets really challenging is when you promise your significant other that her new car will always have a spot in the garage!! Space gets cut IN HALF!!

 

Most of my "goods" are on my car!
The rest is just junk.

 

If there is a vacant place I'll fill it with parts.
