Gotcha. Commonly known as furniture moving dollies. I thought that's what you meant. I had a scheme last winter to make some smaller dollies to put under jackstands.

Thanks.

I've since moved beyond that . This winter's scheme may entail building a rotisserie.

Didn't mean to kipe your thread Sean.

Menards has the wood furniture dollys on sale this week for $8.99. 770 lbs capacity.

I have a 22' X 24' garage. 1/2 is wood stove,wood storage, beer fridge, tool box and junk storage. The other 1/2 has a 68 Impalla SS convertable in it. Front clip is off of it and I'll be finished putting the new floor pans in this week. Next is new rear quarters, interior and then paint. Till then (or it warms up outside) no teener work is planned. Unless I can find another garage to rent.

Our previous house had a nominal 1-car enclosed carport (basically a tiny garage with no door) and no driveway to speak of. The house was basically built out to the sidewalk/street and this thing held one smallish car pretty well but working on anything was -tight-. The ONLY thing that saved my sanity is that the house had gobs of storage space inside plus also a large storage shed in the tiny back yard. I had the shed completely packed with all of my p-car stuff. The key is keeping things organized into well-labeled bins by "function" or regularity of access; i.e., make sure the stuff you need frequently is right at hand but the other stuff can be "buried" if need be due to space issues.

I think at one point we had 5 cars at that crackerbox house. That really sucked -- there were city street cleaning (ticketing) days twice a week and at least 3 cars were parked on the street. Oversleep by 5 minutes and the tickets are $40 a pop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Hell Ive got a nice 2 car garage to work in. But It is full of 2 couches, a chair, a fridge 2 freezers and a tv! And now I thnk they got a microwave out there now! I can barley get a 914 in there. And I get yelled at for using carb cleaner or tearing a motor down! It really Blows, especially in Oregon. I am going to make my own little paint booth out there so I can prep my car and not get yelled at some more.

You want to see that garage get cleaned fast? tell who ever owned that furniture that you saw a family of mice living in it. Offer to bring the stuff to the land fill. After all, you can't bring that mice infested stuff in the house...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Problem solved

At least you have access to your car on site. I have to drive north about 3 hours to get to mine....Stupid neighborhood covenants wield WAY too much power.

We could probably get a small group together and have some fun. I bet Dan would be interested.

You bet. If I'm not already planning a trip up north to work on mine, I'd love to head on down. You're ahead of me on my orange one so whatever I watch/do at your place would be good practice for me.

Had a small garage when I spent a few years in NortDakota. Had a dirt floor too! Tried changing the oil when it was 10 F just for sumpin to do.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Come to think of it, I'm sure it won't ever happen again cuz I'll never live there again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
