I just need to find a place to do the work. My apartment management my frown on me rebuilding an engine in the parking lot.

Are there any self storage units around your area with 10'x30' bays. My buddy manages one near me so we get to fill the empty units with our stuff. Before I got my shop I pulled many of these trucks apart in 1 of these units. I just used common since and did it during the closed hours.
I still have my 81 stepside buried in 1 of these units until I can find the time to put a motor in it.

Not a bad idea fitz! I'll see if I can find one near my place. It'd help get my tool boxes out of my bedroom closet too! The gf would be much happier anyway!

As well as the dually, which after looking at yesterday is definetly worth the $750 asking price, I may pick up a 79 2wd Blazer roller from a buddy of mine for $500. No motor or trans or interior or top or... well its basically a rolling tub.

This will be the foundation for my barndoor blazer project. I'm trying to get a buddy to do a rear 3/4 drawing for me, it'll be a exercise in engineering for me and a big enough storage unit will be great to build it in.

Slammed, your gf will be mad that your spending all your time at the storage instead of with her! Just tell her that, and hopefully she'll let you keep the stuff in the apt. haha


As far as storage goes, most of them dont allow flammables in them so just watch what you spill. I kept my streetbike in one for 14 months during 2 deployments without problems.

She works 2nd shift three days a week, and goes to her parents in Payson a couple times a month. I have all kindsa time to get it together. What'll make her mad is when I start on the Blazer, and am wrapped up in the roof job.

The storage is definitely tight space wise, but as the saying goes, you gotta do what you gotta do. As Beastie pointed out, you have to be smart as far as the flammables and spilled fluids go.
