Hi Justin (oldstata),
I don't know, man. I feel for you. My mess is managable compared to yours. Don't believe you'll be getting a car in there any time soon. Luckily, a lot of the pieces are already there. I've got three or four buckets and boxes laying around with 65 parts to look through when I need something, but this would really weigh on me.
My garage is not great. I have a front frame section, a couple rusty trunk pans and a rear floor pan I'm saving for parts. Some against the edge and some hung by rope. Still....it doesn't look like that. Car still squeezes in.

Just thought of something after seeing your garage photos. There's an old guy about two or three miles from me who has his garage door open from time to time. He's got a 68 or 69 442 sitting inside and you can just see the rear bumper and tail lights. Reminds me of your garage, Justin. He's got lumber and boxes and debris piled on the roof as well as stuff heaped on the ground at the rear of it. I stopped in about eight years ago to see if he'd sell it, but no deal. Had it for years and won't fix it or part with it. Still there, I think. Saw it again last year. Likely his garage has got him too depressed !!

I think it snuck up on me because, I have my car at work so I been bringing boxes home and just stacking them. Didn't even notice since most days I was coming home at eight or nine from working in the project after hrs

Mine may not be as cluttered but I got a lot of crap . On the floor there is 2 engines you can see one buried under the storage bench, and one on a stand against the wall. 355,355,362 and one 307.




here is what it looked like last year

It looks clean but it only last so long before I turn it upside down and drag more parts home.
