Where do you store your parts stash?

I just keep most of mine in a small attic space above the garage where the Charger is kept.  It isn't anything clever or photogenic but some of you must have come up with some ingenius ways to store your stuff?  (it does have a funny way of piling up over the years doesn't it?)

nothing really clever about storing my parts.  I just have them in plastic tubs with lids that are labeled interior, exterior, engine, etc.  Now as for making things in my garage cleverly hidden, I have a 5 gal old oil container cut in half and hiding my coffee maker, my refrigerator that looks like part of my tool box, and I am still looking for a group 24 yellow or green cap mopar original or repro style battery to gut and cover up my toaster.

Everything I have Mopar wise is stored inside my Charger right now with the exception of my spare Duster grille in the Duster's trunk and the spare Duster hood and front bumper on the side of the house.

Overhead shelves in the garage.
An outdoor storage shed - bought just for storing parts.  :rotz:
Under the stairs in the basement - the basement is all finished so this is like a little closet with no door.
A couple of pieces in the furnace room.
Small trim pieces on my office shelves.

I really want to get a big storage space as I could move a lot of that and more stuff out of my way so I can get more work done. However, with rent on a 15x30 at $200 per month, I just can't swing it at the moment.
If I could come up with a clever, self-contained way to store things and have them protected from the elements and critters, I could put a bunch of stuff in my brothers barn. It's not a solid structure, but parts of it are fine. So, I almost need a structure within the barn...

I made custom bed frames for the kids and I. They raise the mattress high enough to slide big storage tubbs (20 inch or so) under our beds. They filled there tubbs with toys. I slept over my six pack, heads, and tubbs full of motor parts for along time.  :lol: I made side curtains out of colored canvas so you couldn't see underneath.

Stored in the shed where I built to store the cars....

I wired lights in my 2nd garage attic and keep bulky light items up there.

I also built 54 feet of shelving in my house garage 12 feet tall and set the widths and heights tall enough for engine blocks on end on the bottom section, then two levels tall enough for Rubbermaid 54 Litre bins, and a tall section on the top for hoods and tall items. I also have a 6 x 28 foot mezzanine for other items along the front wall of the garage.

For my Charger parts I am restoring I took over a bedroom in the house when one of our sons moved out!

Oh and I have an 1150 Dominator in my rec room and my 1/18th car collection on one wall.

My wife is pretty understanding especially since she can now park her car in the garage for the first time in 3 years!

Basement (started as one corner in unfinished side.. to 1/3 of unfinished side)
Garage (above opener)
Parts Car (soon to be gone then I need to make space for what in there)
Dads garage attic

Wife wants her basement back as she starts our veg garden plants form seed and Charger parts have taken over.
I am pushing myself to get further along so I can get rid of some of the extra parts to buy needed parts as most of you know.

Other extra room is full of guitars, amps etc with drum set and larger amps in Finished basement.

When I had an extension built on my shop I included some extra space for pallet racks which were pretty available and not too expensive at the time, the rest of my spare parts are divided among wall shelves and overhead shelves in the shop and some of the cleaner stuff is even stored in the house.

Anybody wanna start up a "Hoarders Anonymous" group?
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Scattered in many places, but pretty well organized.

1) Some of the smaller, & more fragile stuff is kept inside some of the cars in my garage.
2) Boxes of parts, fenders, bumpers, grilles, seats, & items that aren't heavy are on the 2nd floor in the garage.
3) Engines, transmissions, rears, hoods, doors, & other heavy stuff is on the 1st floor in the garage.
4) Extra hoods, doors, deck lids, gas tank, & at least one rear is in the shed.
5) Heads, intakes, air cleaners, a few seats, glass, a spare air grabber hood, & misc stuff is in the basement.
6) Soft trim that I don't want in a hot attic or cold shed, is in a loft storage area above my bedroom.
7) The 1969 Charger NOS "I" moulding is in a box on a shelf in my closet.
8) The Road Runner air grabber switch bezel is on my dresser in a wood jewelry box with condoms & a wristwatch.
9) An walnut steering wheel is on a shelf in the spare bedroom closet next to my daughter's Star Trek Barbie.
10) There's a rusty muffler from the Coronet next to the canoe behind the garage.

I keep all my stuff in a grainry behind my house...with a lock!

Garage, basement, shed in back yard, pole barn about 100 miles away, small locally rented storage unit (trying to make enough room to dump that).  Way too much stuff.  But I could build another car if I got bored.

The big stuff (block, tranny, bellhousing) in my business storage unit, and small stuff in my garage.
