Congrats on the new home. 2 years back when we bought ours it was the greatest feeling in the world. Went from a leaning 1 car to a 22X25

I used the plastic trays that they ship the coke bottles in. For a 302ci .020 over piston set and it fit like a glove.

1.remove all trash/scrap 2.sell/give away items of no use to you 3. A place for everything and everything in its place 4. Racking is key. Also things like bikes can be hung upside down from the roof 5. A small garden shed can be a real space saver. I am on step 5. Just built a 10X12 shed...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Made a new wrench wall and moved all my tool boxes to the right side of the shop. I have a truck coming in for some fit/finish work and figured now was the time to re-organize the shop before it arrived. It's a 1980 step side with a 383ci stroker and a...
