I lost much of my shop space 6 months or so ago when my ole buddy and partner in wrench twistin' died on me. Sadly, I had to move out of the 60X60, I had helped him build--didn't want to try to get in the way of the surviving family, who are still arguing over who gets what.

Anyway I bought a 40foot storage container to put my parts and tools in and since I'm a bit cramped for space organization is key.

Some of you flathead guys will no doubt, recognise some stuff...slim

 

You want to come over and organize my stuff?

 

Bob, I was thinking the same thing. Makes me wonder how I can fit all that stuff into my 24x24 garage.

Lucky me, I only have 2 flatties, and 2 others in my garage right now

Looks great, BTW!

 

Looks like a veritable flattie museum!

What are the blue things in the flattie on the stand? Painted valve springs or - ? -

 

Also, what's that red "flathead Tommy"? or something like that screwed to the shelf?

 

"Flathead Powered" license plate bracket? I had to blow it up 150%, you've got some eyes!

I was thinking of screwing some of my spare heads to the walls, but chickened out.

 

Sorry to hear about the loss of your buddy and your nice shop........somehow we manage to rebound from lifes "trials"........hey a 40ft. "temp." shop, is better than nothing at all!......nicely organizied too!!......things allways have a way of "working out",
hopefully you'll be back in a "real" shop soon!....good luck!
Later, Doug

 

I'm gonn'a take a wild guess here, are you located in Colorado?........were moving back to the Co. Springs area the first of July.......
Later, Doug

 

It's cleaner than my closet!

 

way to clean and organized ! how do you find anything ???????? cleaned the black hole up sunday myself as the wife was getting kinda upset about my " mess " .didn't last long .... i drug a 88 fuel injected crown vic home pushed the 53 out , gave her van the boot , and poceeded to start parting it out . hades it was free so i'm sure i can find something useful , and the garage looks more like it should ..........A MESS!!!!!!!!!!!! so much better now ..

 

 

Let's see if I can remember.........Yep. New valve springs. They really stand out, don't they?

Cast, red, license plate topper. "Flatheads Forever". Don't remember where I picked it up.

Bigblock--Yep, Denver. Give me a yell when you get here in gods country. We'll get together for lies & coffee!

Julies--wouldn't be no need to have a closet that organized. Hell, I just put on what comes up on the rotation!

Don't worry. It won't stay that way long. I find it's easier to find things if I can keep em nailed up on the wall. Also it frees up my bench for what it's really for--shootin craps. slim

 

Bob,

Whew! no sick mind here..........

 

Let's see the pile of junk sitting out behind the container!

 

Hey....I represent that remark!...slim
