It a lot more about work space than storage (although storage is a part of it). Matt hit it on the head, angled spaces allow for putting cars in and out without having them blocked in. The spaces are wide enough to allow car doors to be opened without hitting the vehicle beside it.
On things like an engine swap the car would be backed into a space and the center aisle (15’-20’ wide) will give enough room to move the cherry picker around. As I think about it ideally I would back the car into the bay with the 2 post so I could raise it to disconnect and reconnect the under the car items.
I guess I should mention that my current 20 X 50 shop will still remain. It’s partitioned off into a 16’ X 20’ room and a 20’ X 34’ work area a lot of you watched the 57 Plymouth and 76 Dodge get built in there). Current plans will be for that shop to become a body work/paint area.
“……. Lets see now....why six spaces? The Plymouth in one...the truck in another....that leaves space for four more.....”
Jay although a garage full of nice done cars does have a certain appeal it’s just not me. As it stands right now once the walls and roof are up 4 spots are taken up:
37 Dodge: Build the firewall/floor, box the frame, dissemble for body and paint.
64 Ford: Brakes, suspension, exhaust,
68 El Camino: minor mechanical and cosmetic restoration
87 D-50 Small block swapI've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
