    My shop gets cleaned every Spring, and sometimes at the end of summer. Every fall it gets stuffed with everything that needs to be inside. By this time a year, its a complete mess.

    Its 22'x42' and currenly houses my 57' Plymouth project, 55' Chev wagon project, my old 57' Pontiac that my friend now owns, and his 69' Cutlass project. Not to mention I just added a couple of big block mopars with transmissions on the floor. I am tearing down the 440 so it will fit under the bench and will put the trans into storage.

    At least large parts are leaving the shop - I have to pull the trak lok and gear out of the 8.8 rear before I scrap it, and move the early camaro rear to the storage shed. I also recently pulled out the 454 block and brought it to the machine shop - I guess I should grab the heads, and crank too. I need the room under the bench for the 440!

    i dont have a pic ready but i do keep the shops clean and organized most of the time.the hotrod shop stays pretty well clean but the bike shop seems to catch all the car leftovers because the storage buildings are full.but even when i was a kid i kept my room clean, bed made. yes i was a strange kid.my freinds even made fun of me.mom was proud though.lol

    The hottub is only seasonal,,come in end of November,goes back out on the deck the end of March.Ya there's a small bar next to hotub and a flatscreen. Honey gets me sidetracked sometimes and don't get a whole lot of work done.Gets a bit chilly up in my neck of the woods.

    Dude, when i was a kid i'd have given my left hand for a Soap Box Car. Totally unattainable. I still think they're cool.

    Its a rule of nature i think, that your stuff will expand to fill any available space.
