temporary storage question

Depending on how far dis-assembled it is will determine the size of the trailer. A complete car may fit in a 6x12 enclosed trailer if you can secure it in all the corners. It will be a tight fit. How far are you sending it to get done what you want?

my short term need is just to have one place to put the pieces removed from the body/frame. those pieces are currently scattered and mixed with a LOT of other items. I would hope that the 6X12(X6) would give me enough room to store and be able to inventory every thing (except the body). with my current responsibilities I only get a few minutes per day to allocate for this project. for example for the last few days I have been trying to find the exhuast headers and mufflers with no luck.

If you own the home how about a prebuilt shed that is what I did and after I was done I have a place for other items?

the prebuilt shed (or even a sea cargo van) is still being considered. the reason I was thinking trailer as by having all the parts in a convient, ready to roll away container, would allow some one to fairly judge a fair price if I decide just to sell and not rebuild. the trailer could also be helpful in getting this "basket case" to a builder.

Even though it seems I have not made any progress in the last couple months, I want to set a deadline for my self of next month in that the car and all the pieces be out of the shed.

I am limited in availablity in my area and my choices were a 5X10 single axle or a 7X14 dual.

This afternoon I now have a bare 7X14. Now to either protect the plywood floor or start digging parts out of the shed. I don't feel I have taken the first step towards starting the rebuild, but I am facing in the right direction.

Please, encouragement and even harasment is needed.

It's a step in the right direction. You really need to build this car! If you sell it, you will regret it!

Just say the word!

Hi JFB,
As Ron stated...you're heading in the right direction. Organization is key! If the pieces/parts aren't organized headway is near impossible in my opinion. Also, once you get everything organized, you can then assess the whole picture and more comfortably assess if the project is one you want to tackle....or exit from. Should you decide to tackle it, you'll surely get the support you need here. Should you decide to exit it..I'm sure you will also find a member willing to help there (me included ;-).

Good luck with the digging. Post some pics of what you've got going on.....

I know it doesn't sound that way when I talk about the condition the parts are in now, but I have a knack that things need to be orginised and a detail set instructions needed for a task (that is why I hire plumbers, takes me a day to plan, where they come and leave in an hour )

with the advent of digital photography, I was hoping to have a visual referance to my inventory, and more than likely need to post and ask "what is this". there is also some parts from other cars mixed in there.

Now, this week end and first of next week, there is "extreme cold" forecasted (that would be pleasantly cool to you Rob !) but I am looking foward to getting started.

would any one know the size of a "box" that would hold an original seat?
I am drawing up the shelving I'll need.

I have two original seats in a "standard" 22" x 22" x 30" moving box.

One seat is upright, one seat is upside down on top of it.

thanks, I was hoping they would fit in a 24" deep 32" high shelving rack.

It seems like it is taken me forever, but I have been able to search through the shed and started putting pieces into the trailer. I have not inventoried and will post those pictures as I do

Make sure that trailer is chained down to something solid!

Especially with the Isis logos on the outside!

(Now I know which one I am looking for! )

Good work - it's a big step forward!

nice job ! hope it's not becoming a time capsule for the next generations

Unfortunately It looks like Barry's prophecy is coming true

(I just got the trailer license tag renewal)

keep the faith man...keep the faith.

Just yesterday my wife was giving me a hard time that 4042 has been in my care for a decade and I still haven't driven it.....and for the past two years she's been in a million pieces. I just replied ... honey..some things are worth waiting for.
