If its not money, its the time,or the space

I appreciate the reply but there is only so much you can put on a 37x97 foot lot that has a house and garage already on it. The other problem is security. Nobody i know has a one and a half garage or larger to rent and i check for rentals all the time. Im disgusted with living here the only positive thing is if you own a home its worth good money. The only good thing is when i drive close to 100 miles to work on the car i get to see my grandaughters which always puts a smile on my face,plus i like being at my kids home

Can you comfortably stay the weekend there?

Maybe bring Grandma and she can hang out with the kids for a little while while you work on the car, ya know?

Just a thought....
 
I don't understand what the need for a garage is. I can see needing a garage when you're taking the car completely apart, doing lots of body work, have piles and piles of parts that you need to store indefinitely because you bought stuff like seat covers and interior panels before you even started working on the body. :) But in Steve's case the body is done along with the drivetrain, so what's the real need for a garage?

If I had to anchor a chain in my garage and attach it to the end of my car to keep it from rolling away on a sloped driveway I would do it if it meant getting my car done. Come to think of it, I think I actually did that once. :) I also remember laying under a 73 Roadrunner that was parallel parked on a busy Baltimore street with the front end lifted to the very top of two of those less-than-reliable Mopar jacks changing out a trans in the dark using a flashlight because that was the only way I had to do it.

Where there's a will, there's a way. :)
 
It's about time, it's about space......

Why do insist on breaking my balls. The driveway is to steep and right on the street. Its a busy area as its right across from a school and there are to many "eyes" I can't leave the car out overnight either. I cant leave it on the street nor would i. The insurance is specific that the car must be in a garage. Do you get it now and i gotta wonder why if you have nothing constructive to say,why would you say anything. So shut up and go away. A moment of getting discouraged after breaking your *** all day at work and then listen to some crap.
 
Your insurance requires you keep the car garaged, but it won't fit in your garage? I guess you'll be seeing a lot of your granddaughters because it doesn't sound like you have a place to keep your car even once it's done.

I used to see this setup all the time in Misawa, Japan that's probably worse for space than NYC is. They have outside ones like this and ones that fit in a garage.

No not the entire FBBO. Are you another who likes to break people's balls,pass opinionated judgements or do you like to help folks in the Mopar community? Because if you want to use this forum to attempt to make me look foolish you to should refrain from replying to me. There is a difference between help and mocking
 
Couldn't refrain any longer. What's the point of this thread? To vent?
 
Ive read more than one post were a guy writes in that money is tight or there is another issue. Did you post and ask what was the point of the post? To answer your question i guess it was i was looking for fresh ideas or opinions on how to handle a problem with getting this car done. What i got from most was helpful reply's,what i got from some was more than once knocking me with out knowing the facts. The last one were my grandaughters were sarcastically mentioned was about enough as im going to take. As people's mouth's tend to get big over a computer i refuse to get involved in that and you especially should know that. Another thing you might want to recall. I treated you as a gentleman always. When someone posts a issue no one really knows the true situation so they should remember that when they reply. There are people here who want to truly help and there are some who don't. Were you fall in is up to you
 
You could be like me got a 26x40 shop should be able to get 4 cars in it no problem you would think lol but after we purchased our home my wife loved to have party's in the shop for any dumb reason so needless to say I was donated all kinds of chairs tables and other crap now I barley have enough room to work on the gtx and still let the wife park in the garage ugggh! Now I gotta build a small storage shed to free up room and take money away from my project !
 
Nutz, you can't win sometimes but your obviously a good husband. My car is in a two car garage that includes all the kids toys,bikes and any other junk. I try and clean it up whenever im there. Last fathers day my daughter bought me a shed which i use to store some of the stuff from the garage to give me some more room. I talked to a good friend yesterday who i have helped out in the past. He told me get the engine and tranny down there and he'll give me a hand getting it bolted up.
 
Steve, your out of line, I don't know Bruzilla from a hill of beans, so I'm not defending him, but I've re-read this entire thread several times to make sense of it, and its a public forum and when you post a thread, you'll get comments and suggestions that you may or may not like, in addition, many times a thread is not taken into context correctly, typed word is commonly mis-interpreted. If someone doesn't know your entire situation when making suggestions...who's fault is that? When you start telling people to quit posting an any of your threads, you'll alienate a lot of people who may actually be of some help at some time in the future. I understand your frustrated, but don't take it out here. And by the way, you don't have the authority to tell anyone not to post...anywhere. You can express your dis-like about a comment, but I didn't read any personal attack on his part. In fact, he did make suggestions, maybe not to your liking or of any use for your situation, but basically, your thread seems more of a rant than a request for help, you definitely live in a place where security, insurance, distance and other factors play a big part, you may not have a real solution to your dilemma, without making compromises that you really aren't willing to do at this time.
You've presented a challenge for the readers here, that's for sure, some helpful suggestions, some, maybe not so much, and maybe even the helpful suggestions may not be feasible, you may have to face the fact your going to have to force yourself to have a bit more patience with your situation, enjoy your family as much as you can, work on your car as time becomes presentable, you may have to make sacrifices at times, all I can say anymore is, Good luck, I'll not present any additional suggestions you may or may not like.
 
Steve, my issue with you is you're coming off as someone who wants to gripe for the sake of griping. Most folks post their issues on here because they want solutions. Your post here, frankly, makes no sense.

You have problems, those being...

- Your garage is small and there's already a car in it.
- Your driveway is too small and steep to work on your car.
- You have a school across from you where there are kids who you don't want seeing your car.
- You don't want to work on the street because it's too busy.
- You have to drive 100+ miles to where your car is garaged and you don't like that.
- Your insurance requires you to have the car garaged.
- Your house is worth too much and you don't want to move.
- Renting a garage is too expensive.

Did I cover them all? Oh, and the major stuff like body work that usually requires a garage has already been done, which has been confusing me from the beginning.

Every one of your problems has been encountered by probably everyone on this forum, probably more than once. And when they have been encountered, they have been overcome. So what I'm seeing is someone who's more interested in griping than finding solutions, and you really don't like having that pointed out to you. Every time someone offers you a solution, you come up with a new reason why it won't meet your needs.

So, I'll tell you what. I'll go ahead and block you, then I won't have to respond to any more of your posts. :)
 
Old Your not getting it. I welcome your post and any suggestions you may offer. I do however have a right as you say to ask some not to respond. Bruzzla is breaking my balls plain and simple and he makes it a habit. He continued in this thread to state why i need a garage in the first place and if you take the time to look you will see i did not reply negatively. It goes back to the political forum. Offering construtive critisism is different than looking to break balls or make someone look as if he has no will to get a job done. From the time i last posted yesterday till later that night i was at working fixing a guys truck,i dont need to hear about my will as i work my *** off for the benefit of my family. My post may have been partly a rant about being fustrated with a situation that i admit freely but so what,does that mean i have to listen to reapeated posts questioning why i need a garage when i stated what the deal was. Did i reply negatively to other guys offering advise. Im not a asshole and im not a kid. Ive been around the block many times. I know damm we'll what his intention was and i didnt like mentioning my grandaughters and BTW my family is the most important aspect of my life i do enjoy them. Thanks for your reply

You do as you feel. But dont play the victim because your full of **** if you do. I had no issues with what you wrote the first time and how could i because first off i may not be that clear in what i write and how could you possible know all the facts. But if you followed the postings you'd see what i was talking about. Your second post was a clear swipe at me and don't bullshit anyone or me as that is exactly what it was. This is not the first time this has happened . When you say everytime someone comes up with a solution i post reasons why it wont work. Thats another put down because it is not true. As ive said no one knows exactly what is going on. Snake from Jersey offered a great idea and i appreciate it as did others. Some might work other don't but you didn't do that. This aint the political forum and im done being a nice guy to people who try and build themselves up at others expense. I wish you the best and have a great day

As a matter of fact I do like to joke around a little bit and break peoples balls, just like mine get broke and just like you break others. You don't need my input on this forum to make you look foolish, you have it covered by yourself.

Lighten up dude, life is too short. I think the guys on here have offered numerous suggestions to help with your problem but you choose to piss and moan regardless of the suggestions they give. Good or bad, attitude is everything.
