The best investment I've made is to buy a good size load of industrial grade used pallet rack, with cross beams and floor panels. Then, buy a fork lift that works to lift heavy stuff up on the shelves. The pallet rack I have is 12 ft tall, the fork lift I have will lift 12 ft. Bolt the pallet rack to the floor, and the building walls, so it is "tip resistant" [unless you do something really stupid]. THEN, organize all the "stuff" that is taking up floor space on the racks where you can get to it. Suddenly, you can find stuff for each project car because you allocated rack space to THAT project. Suddenly, you have work space for each car instead of clutter.. Go vertical young man.. !! You will be glad you did.
