You go through your parts that you store in your mom's barn and find things you don't even remembering you had.. Found 2 sets of 350 headers for one, I also found so many seat belts from all the cars I have parted and many other things.I have managed to find just about everything I needed to assemble a completely stripped body shell back to living. I am going through all these parts and putting the 350 pieces together to get rid of. I have no use for them and when I get through the motors etc,they will be up for grabs or will be scrapped.
What happens to me is I know I have something I need but sometimes end up buying again (if still available) rather than spend hours looking. In the winter I try to organize stuff and it is interesting....takes me back in time and I do find stuff I thought I sold or never knew I had........
You know you have a problem when it's easier to just buy the part you need because you cant find the 12 you already own
My issue seems to be finding parts in better condition then the ones I already have bought. Explains why I have 6 really nice sets of '65 Skylark taillights and 1 car to use them on. lol It's an illness, I say. Loren@65GS.com
Huh, I have spare tail light lenses for my '68s too. Luckily I have limited storage, so my problem's scale is limited.
Speaking of taillights....one time I was backing BQUICK out of the garage and I head a pop....though maybe a slight back fire....continue backing out and hear a CRUNCH.....yup.... ran over NOS 71 taillight in the box. Fell off the shelf from the 675 horses rumbling. Well not all of them.....whatever a healthy Stage 2 makes at idle.
Parts are like a gas - fills up the volume of the container! 200 or 20,000 SF, or should I say cubic feet?
Tell me about insufficient shop space! I started out intending to build a simple covered garage for two cars. Ended up with 40 x 80 (3200 square foot) with all of the industrial shelving from a hardware store along about 3/4 of the walls. And STILL have a short grain silo converted to spare parts overflow.At least I know the goodies are safer than before.
Your a hoarder when you tell your wife " I had no other place to put them " And she said " I don't care , get those headers out from under the bed !!!!!! This did not happen LOL Bill
You know you are a hoarder when your house is broken into but they only leave a note behind saying “Sorry dude” and a twenty dollar bill.
