I saw this on another forum and thought it might benefit someone here.

Looks like a good haul for someone in Florida.

Jack did say he wanted another project... right?! lol!

Yea right, Jack would need to rent a warehouse.

Yea right, Jack would need to rent a warehouse.

And that might not be such a bad idea, Jack.

You like to clean and repaint parts and get ready them for use...LOTS of people don't and would love to pay you for your effort.

Parts cars are plentiful.

You have a dandy Spridget trailer that would make collecting up a parts car a piece of cake.

You're looking for a "project".

Mini warehouse space large enough for a Spridget, with power, lights, and a rollup door big enough for the Spridget run about $100 a month around here (probably a bit more in your area).

A couple parts a month would pay the warehouse fee...you wouldn't have the issue with trying to bring another one home...and your efforts would not only be fullfilling for you, but could help finance your hobby.

Just a thought...one that I'm entertaining AFTER the Spridget Project wraps up...

Hmmm, think I will keep an eye out for some free or almost free space.................Oh, just might have an idea. Got to talk to a guy later.

Hmm, sounds like a very reasonable guy. Get down there, Jack! That'll keep your hands occupied for a few months... (note to self, buy shares in bubble wrap company.)

Guy is 85 and has an aircraft hanger attached to his house with a complete shop for our purposes. Three race cars in there, a Fiat and a Merceds under restoration and room for his van and more, more. Also has very large double garages on both ends. He works slow at his age, but good work. Plays classical music through the sound system, good stuff. He was an airline pilot, a classical Obo player, professionaly, and an architect professionaly. Has lead a long and fun life so far. Oh yea he did race the cars as well in Calif.

Jack,

You just solved your storage issues. Also found a place for Ms. Agatha that is close by. See you do have room to start another project.
