I want to do my own body work on my Charger.  However, it's starting to turn into a big job and the noise is annoying the neighbors.  Anybody got some ideas for how to find a place to work on my car - I'm in Orange County California.
Thanks!
Plans are useless; planning is indispensible.
Especially with an old car!

could always plan out when to do the cutting & grinding !!  ie when its pouring with rain & dark winter nights !  :yesnod:

Other than renting a garage space and even then they may get a little upset at the dust/noise, I don't see a good answer to this one...I DO know some folks that do this type work in the "Storage" facilities....

Neighbors complaining? Are you working outside of garage? What time of day are you working on it? I would see what kind of noise they do, they probably have noisy kids, drive Harley, etc.

I had a deal with the folks at my last rented garage that I wouldn't do anything loud after 9 PM and, even outside of that range I kept the doors closed. The loudest tools I have are grinders but I guess banging on metal with a hammer can be pretty annoying too. Most of the time a closed door will muffle that pretty well.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.
