Garage Storage

​So after 'finishing' the resto on my '88, (plus countless parts trucks & junkyard trips) i ended up with boxes of OEM hardware.  Interior, body, frame, whatever.  I cant help but save it!  But it was super helpful when putting the 88 back together, so thats my excuse for keeping it!  It was a bit of a mess though, so i started sorting it.  This is just one of many boxes:

​Bought some organizers from HF, this wasnt enough:

​...so i ended up building a frame to store them:

​The finished product:

​Built it so that it would just roll under the workbench for storage

​So im pretty happy with how this came out.  I figure next time im working on one of the trucks i can just roll this over if i need hardware.  Before you ask: Yes, every bin in every organizer has hardware in it.  Took me a week to sort it all!

So naturally, the night after i finish building this i pop into the lab at work to find out that with the expansion theyre getting rid of all their old cabinets!  Thankfully i had driven the truck in to work, because i scored big:
​
cabinet 1:

cabinet 2, a Vidmar!  Loaded with partitions & dividers:

​cabinet 3:

​cabinet 4:

​random free sheetmetal, some of which ive already used to build a shelf for the inside of cabinet 4:

​black resin countertops for cabinets 3 & 4:

​Anti-fatigue mat:

​the mother of all anti-fatigue mats, this one 4' x 24'!​

​So now the Vidmar is now under my workbench:

​​The other cabinets are still sitting in the center of the garage- im currently trying to figure out where im going to put them or if im using them to replace any existing cabinets, etc.  Currently ive got boxes of stuff all over the place!  Im kinda nuts for item & tool storage, so ive spent all week just looking at stuff & moving it back and forth from cabinet to cabinet, trying to figure out how i want to reorganize it all.  Goal is to get all this sorted next week, and then its back to work on the '88!
