So... was cleaning up today.... >rant on stupidity<

Well....     I was cleaning up my garage today so it doesn't look like a complete war zone...      and it struck me that I used to have a problem picking things and sticking with them...     My garage now houses a 318 poly, 360LA, a 6.1L Hemi, a 512 Stroker, and a 383...    Also houses 3 4-speeds, a 727, a 904, and a TKO...      I have found 4 camshafts not including the ones actually in engines...     one box marked "run time: 5 hours"   :brickwall: 

Guess this is just a late night rant on my own stupidity....     anyone else just have too much crap ?
1968 Dodge Charger - 6.1L Hemi / 6-speed / 3.55 Sure Grip

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T - 5.7L Hemi / 6-speed / 3.73 Limited Slip

1964 Dodge Polara 500 - 440 / 4-speed / 3.91 Sure Grip

1973 Dodge Challenger Rallye - 340 / A-518 / 3.23 Sure Grip

Sounds like good stuff to me.  I don't have much more than the car in my garage, I'm the opposite that if I'm not using it, bye bye.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I can relate. I would show you a pic of my front garage and basement and other storage areas but I am too embarrassed. Before I moved 15 years ago I got rid of tons of crap. Now that crap would be worth a fortune. Like they say one mans junk is another mans treasure. If anyone is extensively into cars I think most are in the same boat.

I feel your pain, I have a rental property basement filled with parts, and it still seems like I have every part except what ever I need at that time :brickwall:

Well I have two Chargers.  So I have for some reason 5, 70 Charger fenders?  :shruggy:  I only have one 440 block. but SEVERAL tail lights 69/70 a wood grain Dash for 69, wire harness for what I dont recall.  Door, etc. 

I did purge the shop 3 years ago, and go rid of a bunch of stuff.... only now I collect more. :rotz:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I can also relate.  Not only do I have a ton of car stuff in the shop, but everything else.  Living out in the boonies, I always buy more hardware, plumbing, electrical, paint, etc., etc. than needed to avoid extra trips to town.  I think I should get one of those pre-built storage buildings for every building or hobby necessity.  Bob

Yep, I have done that too.  I am still moving stuff out of storage units back to my main storage place, after accumulating it during my years at MU.  So far I have two cars, two hoods, ten Charger doors, five K-Members, a set of 70 Charger bumpers (with the attaching supports), and alot of other misc. parts and cr#p to go yet.  Don't get me started on my main parts stash.....

I wish I had room for all that stuff in my Garage. Hard enough getting 2 cars in there.

Hey rolling...anytime you need space ill take that 512 stroker off your hands...heck if you REALLY need the room ill even come there to pick it up. I wont even charge you for pickup... :2thumbs:  :D

Not me...  :eek2:  I keep no extra stock.   Once I sell a car,  any leftover "stashed away goodies" gets sold on ebay.  Currently, my secret stash contains only 1967 Dodge Coronet (and date coded 1967 parts). Anything else of value was either sold a long time ago, or will be going soon.

My formerly precious "jewels" are found on many other peoples cars!!

I guess I don't like to keep unused parts (.....that could be making money).  Plus, the extra clutter just gets in my way.  :Twocents: :Twocents:

I dont think you can ever have "too many" spare parts. I made a list the other day and i couldnt believe it!  The list got bigger, and bigger  :lol: everytime i looked around i found more parts.

Here is my front garage 26 X 32. It has just enough room for the ole lady to park in. Behind what you see in the first pic and in the second pic along the back window is a another car in there somewhere (drivers window between the two bikes if you look close)  :eek2:

I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

i can relate too.. though i dont have as much cool stuff.. but i have collected "stuff" that I thought would be stuff I needed (you know those parts that are rare and the minute you get rid of it, you will find a use for it).

i wont go into a list, but its significant enough to not the let the wife know about all of it :D
