    Ok guys here is what I'm working with. Take into consideration I live in a one apartment that is only given one parking spot. I do the most in it and since I'm the only person who cleans around here, nobody tells me any thing. I out grew my closet for tool storage as soon as I moved in my wife so I rent the small storage under the staircase for 25$ a month. I have about 5 tool boxes organized for my liking, power tools, Jack, etc. Screenshot_20180222-155819.png Screenshot_20180222-160001.png
    In the corner I have stuff too under a bike that I have covered. Engine crane, stand and a junk cadillac 472 block that will be a junk yard core or help with a bop trans adapter for later Screenshot_20180222-155819.png Screenshot_20180222-160001.png Screenshot_20180222-155804.png Screenshot_20180222-155802.png
    Moving on around the back I'm off an alley

    The spot on the left side is mine so I decorated the walls some Screenshot_20180222-155741.png And put a night stand type of cabinet in the corner for fluids and small fasteners, quick hand tools. I have a engine and two transmission against the wall Screenshot_20180222-155736.png And I hide them like this Screenshot_20180222-155727.png
    In the 5 years I've been here I've had long night in here working on my cars and engines. Alot of oil has been spilled but that's nothing some dirt and a good sweeping can't fix. My Buick and Packard are at my mom's house 65 miles away.

    Just finished the interior of this garage my Dad built in 1962. It was bare studs & no insulation when i started in the fall of 2017. Race Deck Floors took it over the top. IMG_1974[1].JPG

    Ouch...we took the boat up to Michigan 2016 but last year the 69 was in front of it with the axle out and no time to move it. I have it sorted way better
    this year! Motivation is up now. This is last year when the boat was blockaded:

    I was just joking :). You've got a great set up to be able to store all those beauties inside. I'm jealous.

    Hey Ronnie, I SWEAR the next time Pat tells me to "Go sleep in yer garage" Ill never complain; Id never fit under those stairs LOL! You do so much with so little! A lesson to be learned. (BTW is that an antique map of LA?).

    This is the new 22x22 after getting the rear end back in and the mad dash installed last week on the XGS. I am fortunate to have this and a 20X30 both insulated and walled in with"decent" lights. The pic below is after dark with 12 100watt curly Q bulbs without the flash on the camera. I still manage to find shadows to work in especially underneath! ws

    Nothing too fancy. Detached 28x32. The bay on the left has 15ft ceilings and a 2 post lift that I picked up used because it needed work.
    On the right is just for parking or minor work, interiors and stuff but has a bonus room upstairs that's 12x20 for my get away.
    I painted the floors and thought they looked so good I better take a picture because they weren't likely to stay that way, I was right. It's enough for what I do and I'm happy with it. IMG_20180219_212254428.jpg

    Dwayne, what are the plans for the Chevys? '68 pickup? '54 Chevy.
    Louie, is that a '73 or '74 Nova? Early front clip I noticed.
