More progress. I went ahead and ordered two of the Gorilla racks from Costco. They are only 2 ft deep but they'll have to do. Much less expensive than palette racks and not quite as sturdy - 2000 lbs per shelf. But I won't need any more than that. My config is mostly around racking wheel sets. I wasn't going to have a shelf down at the floor level so I can just roll heavier wheels into those spaces. And I was surprised by the assembly instructions suggesting if you buy two, you can link them together and go 3-wide, just with fewer levels. Fortunately that worked out for me so here it is. That taller ones will fit up to 34" wheels on the floor, which is the biggest I have for now. I used some extra cross bars to hold the wheels in, but that might only work for my m3 and some porsche wheels because they are smaller. I think that cross bar won't fit the larger wheels - so I'll likely use a 2x4 or 1x3 across the floor. Counting it up, I'll have 24 wheels to store - and that's after selling 3 sets. I also have a Porsche motor to move here and store on one of the lower levels. I might be running out of space already.
I had two 24" wide seville cabinets on this wall before. Those have moved between garage doors. I think I said before that these aren't super heavy duty cabinets, which is nice for a number of reasons. I was able to tip each on its side and carry it under one arm across the garage to the new spot. No dragging across the floor and didn't need a second person.
The tables from 4dock arrived. One L-shaped table 6 ft in each direction. And two 6 ft tables that are 2 ft deep. The L table is pretty stout and solid - could jump up and down on it and it won't move. The other two tables are kinda shaky - due to the adjustable legs. I have an idea of ways to reinforce those but even if it stays shaky, they work fine for setting things down on it for disassembly, cleaning tasks, etc.
The table that
@Nolift911 suggested is still being built - expecting to ship in mid-June. It will likely weigh over 1K lbs and will be solid as hell. So that's the last major thing to get in place.
I brought another car up today, my '72 911. Such a great drive with beautiful weather and excellent roads. Next up is getting the fuel system on the '81 cleaned out and having the engine running again. Then a few things to make it more road worthy for the drive up - putting a muffler on it and taking off the race wheels/tires. That car will be a fun project that I'll likely give updates on here as I get to it. With a few cars out of the old shop it gives me space to organize the things that are moving, things that need to be sold, trashed, etc. I'll likely rent a truck in June to get all the 'moving' stuff up here - wheel sets, blast cabinet, compressor, drill press, bench grinder, 12 ton press, porsche engine, other car parts I want to keep, other tools...everything.
