Last Summer’s Big Project

Cleaning the garage. It took all summer. It’s been due for almost 4 years, but alot of the higher activity-type Stuff around here had to be postponed or scaled back due to health issues recently. These pics show only the final stage of the project, where a buttload of car and truck parts, accessories and supplies got properly sorted and stored.

The floor was getting swept from time-to-time, but things eventually got to the point of piling up going unattended for too long. I actually forgot what all was stashed around that engine and shelving in the NE corner. The other side where Michelle parks was similarly gone through, and all the tools were re-organized with new, bigger toolboxes.

Getting the speaker, shelves, engine and toolbox to fit around that corner was a challenge. Pretty sure I tried every possible positioning combination all morning one day, before finding the one that fit – only just. At least the car goes up and down off the lift without having to double-check everything is moved out of the way first. I still have alot of work to do on the Chrysler, but it’s gonna need to be broken down into many smaller projects.

That 440 was running great with around 90k miles on it when pulled IIRC. It’s gonna get rebuilt into an old-school Mopar torque monster someday.

It’s on the far north side of the runway, so that’s true minimum clearance.
