Long time Mopar enthusiast. My first was a 68 Coronet 500 that I traded for a 69 1/2 A12 Super Bee in 1971. I traded in the Super Bee for a brand new 1977 Roadrunner. ( I know) Well now I am restoring 70 Roadrunner, and a 69 Sport Fury Convertible. I ran across a deal on 72 Cuda' 340 (no engine of course) So now I have 3 great Mopar's in varying states of restoration.

OK, so the E body on the trailer. I work out of a 24x24 garage. The is really no room with a B body and a C body in there so the Cuda' will go into storage for now.

The 69 Sport Fury, also in "sheet meta hell " working on floor pans, there are no full pans, only patches.

Welcome FEBO! Working in a confined space takes a lot of patience,planing and practice. Been there done that. Didn't forget! Now have 30 x 40 still not big enough. 2 garages still loose stuff. My brother runs out of space he builds an other. He's up to 4.Last we built a 24x40 shed.

I just remembered he built a 15x30 lean to garage on the back of one. Finished it just before hunting season. I didn't help! I got out of that one. He didn't put a concrete floor in so he didn't need me.
:lol:

Howdy and welcome.

Thanks for posting the car!
Any unique items on the fender tag?
72 specifically was the only year to have V21.
Any chance of seeing that fender tag?

Welcome. I do the same. Mine is 24'x25'. It is packed, but I make it work. We have built and restored dozens and dozens of street cars, race cars and trucks out of my little space.

That is a crowded but well organized garage. Mine, not so much. I wish I could put in a lift, but I have 8 foot ceilings. Not only do I have two large B and C bodies but also the welders, sand blasting cabinet and the tools, so many tools.

Holy crap that's tight! Glad you can make it work! That step down, I'd trip on it about 37 times a day and never ever learn to pick my own dumb feet up. 😂

Yes, almost didn't buy the house just because of the step down. I have almost broke my angles or tripped over it hundreds of times it seems. The now ex had to have this house at that time. 21 years in this house now and I still haven't been able to afford to pour a new garage floor and double wide driveway. Maybe someday....
