Got it in the garage

For all who have been to my nightmare of a garage hell hole, this may come as a surprise. I cleaned out and organized the garage over the past week or so and am now able to work on my car at night inside without disturbing my neighbors. The tool box was cleaned out and organized as well so I can find what I need when I need it. So now I will be able to work on it when I am home at night. Here is a picture with the car inside the garage. Life is good again. Now I just need to get it running.

maybe you can come clean my garage up next? My wife wants me to put her Honda in it. But that wouldn't leave me much room for my new toy

Wish I would have taken pics of mine during conversion but was ashamed of the way it looked with only a 20 x 20 foot print to work with and never did snap one.

The cherry picker, transaxle, and mound of other parts really hit home. Expect to spend some time working out the kinks once it's running and then you can enjoy the reliability the chevy brings.........along with a spotless garage.

You've got to be getting close now?

I hate to say it.......but, the "before" shot looks exactly like my garage. Maybe if I take some photos, I'll get off my a$$ & clean house (I've been thinking about it for months)

Kool Scott: Mines heading the way yours was, my work area keeps getting smaller becuse when a bench gits filled with stuff I just put up another bench somewhere.
