    All of this stuff is super important stuff to anyone restoring Mopars. I commend you on keeping all of it safe for future use, whether it be your use or for someone looking for what they need. Hoarding is such a negative sounding word, collecting sounds so much better. Whatever you want to call it, don't stop, someone will need these things eventually. ❤

    Cold days deserve inside work!Thanks for the tour.
    All of the small parts are so important in a major restoration! Hoarder, yes. But a necessary hoard to have in your business!
    I have been to your property 30 plus years ago to pick up parts from Ben, truly our Northwest parts guru of yester-year!

    What do Mopar guys do when they run out of room for parts? They build more barns, pull up shipping containers, recover the neighbor's unwanted metal sheds, scour the countryside for buildings people want moved...etc. So when there is no more room MAKE MORE ROOM!

    How many times have you had to buy a part you know you had but couldn't find?
    I think I'd build a new building. Start filling,organizing and inventory the new building by cleaning out the old ones one by one. As one empties. Fill it the same way.

    Even for the most popular classic cars the are many parts that will never be reproduced.
    'Hoarding' is often used to imply something has little to no value.
    With old parts, it's the complete opposite.

    • @rocketresto
      @rocketresto  11 месяцев назад +4

      Where I get in trouble is the “take everything” deals. Get a good price to clean out the garage but then end up with a lot of stuff I necessarily wouldn’t buy otherwise. But it’s all good stuff and getting so hard to find.

    Since I've started watching your channel I constantly catch myself eyeing the background stuff thinking that I'd love to wander through your shop looking around. This vid scratched that itch. Thanks. I don't think you're a hoarder, I think you're a fully committed Mopar expert!! Oh, and Jamie is gonna organize your parts stash? I've seen the video of his shop from when he closed it down...good luck with that. LOL

    Well, you do have a 'few' more bits and pieces than I do. However, when it's a good part, unobtainium new, and it fits something still out there, it's definitely not hoarding 😁

    If you didn't have all the parts like you have then you wouldn't be able to keep cars like mine on the road. And with how busy and back logged you are with car projects I can see how it would be hard to keep everything super organized.

    To me a hoarder is someone who collects and is never willing to part or trade with someone who really needs a part. They will never use, sell, or even trade with another with what they have in their lifetime.
