I’m getting ready to take my 64 Impala apart soon to begin the restoration. Of course, I’ll need a place to put all the smaller parts as they come off the car.
I took advantage of the old saying, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and saw the opportunity to setup some shelving for the Impala parts on one wall of my garage. While moving a family friend out of his house in getting it ready to sell, I found there were a lot of old produce crates setup as shelving in the basement. Since I was in charge of the junk disposal process, I decided to keep them and put them to good use.
There was full load of them in my 86 GMC pickup when I brought them home, and they were taking up a lot of room on the second floor of my garage so this was one new years project that couldn’t wait.
I picked up some 3/4″ x 3″ x 8′ boards to strap them together across the back and then used drywall screws to fasten them to the wall. Presto! Now I have an entire wall of shelves to put my smaller 64 Impala parts on.
Things are starting to come together as I gear up for beginning the restoration. Look forward to seeing more information on methods of cataloging your classic car parts as you take your old ride apart. There are numerous ways to organize your classic car parts for your own restoration, and I’ll cover several options. You can decide which one you prefer to use.
