    Found this across the street in the "garbage" when I first moved into my house. It was a bathroom cabinet, maybe kitchen. I put a chunk of 1/4" steel over the top, mounted my vise, and put wheels on the bottom. I also have wheels on the bottom of the storage racks (behind the scrap door). About twice a year, I roll everything out of the garage and pressure wash the floor (which is epoxy coated for easy cleaup).

    Currently it is overly "used" as I have all my epoxy painting stuff on it from the project last weekend (painting some fenders).

    I have the casters....used them all last year with the yellow car. Those things are great!:yup: And when the winter gets here, I will put it on them again. (y)

    I agree with Dan...and thats my issue...I do not want clutter....I want purpose only stuff in the "gay-rog" (as my kids say).
    Right now it has PINKY on one side and kitchen cabinets on the other, Harley squeezed in there and the yellow car outside :cry: . Once we get the cabinets in. I will rearrange everything and snap a pic.
    Thanks.

    You know, I never really thought about casters for under the car. That would come in handy every now and then, to just shimmy it around a bit...

    I just thought of casters for everything else in the garage.

    man I hate cleaning....but I am done for now :D

    This should get me through winter anyways.

    Once I get all the dash caps shipped...I will be able to move the cars more to that side.

    He can store it at my house, preferably leave the keys. But he don't have to leave them, these old cars are easy enough to hot wire. :evilsmile
