Today was stack the Pintos day!!!
All went well and we had no mis haps, well except we forgot to put the first pinto in before we added the uprights! LOL See, in order to stack them, we had to put the cross rails on the back sides uprights, then put the car in on the forklift, then add the other sides uprights, then finally the boards. Rinse and repeat 2 more times! LOL
Here's the pics!

I decided to put The Green Machine in the bunch because I am still not happy on how she goes down the road. She seems to want to not run smooth once you try to go at a steady pace. Bella was put up on top, but we decided that she will come back down and we will put Shaggy up there till we find someone or have time to paint her ourselves! Which is good because I really would like hubby to get Shaggy going! Other things are being put in front of her though, like paying customers and my wanting my VW Bus running! LOL I decided the bus would make an excellent horse carrier! LOL So I want the big motor ( that needs to carbs to run good, only has 1) out and a nice running 1700 put back in it. I have to trust it to keep running at stops before I will drive it. Right now I have to do the gas and brake at the same time thing! I don't like doing that! LOL
Final pic! All snug as a bug!! Well, Pinto! LOL

I don't know, Kim... I think you screwed up. You should have built it taller so you could have a triple-decker! :lol: Seriously, I have a number of car buddies who would give their eye-teeth to have a set-up like yours! I have seven vehicles and only one of them is garaged... the others all have to stay outside. Unfortunately, I live in a subdivision and I don't have room for a anything like what you have there... but, boy, it would be nice! Enjoy!
Dwayne :smile:
Right now we are using this set up to make more room in the yard, but eventually I will use it to keep my good Pintos ( once they are restored) in. That way they will stay high and dry! LOL
Yah, we are pretty strange! LOL We just bought a phone booth! We put it in our house and once we get a key for the phone ( if we can find one), we are going to hook it up to the phone line!! That and run electricity to the light!! I figure I will keep my answering machine on top of the phone! Then all we need to do is find a SuperMan suit! LOL :lol: :lol: It even came with a phone book in a plastic case that hangs down from a cable! I took it out in this pic because I hosed down the booth before we brought it into the house! LOL

Kimmy, you indeed boggle the mind...lol. A phone booth!?!
Also, in one of the first pictures, is that the yellow Squire or do you have another beautiful yellow wagon? I didn't see any Squire trim on the tailgate.

I'm guessing that is the orange one and it just looks yellow because of being so close to the flash of the camera. Sure wish Kim had bought her phone booth earlier... my uncle worked for a telephone company for about 40 years and his estate included a whole basement full of phone stuff... I'm sure there would have been a key in there somewhere!

Looking at the pic again, you could be right Dwayne...

Phil, you got a nice collection of stuff at your house. Makes me wanna do that. All I collect are bills, car parts & old computers lol.
That garage is just sick. :hypno: I thought the stacking idea was a joke, Wow! :read: Just be careful when stacking and unstacking. Here's to the Pinto Pile. :drunk:
Just a dumb question here,from a guy on the right coast....Does't the ground shake and do some really weird dance steps out there on your side of the country? What happens to the Pintos when Mother Nature desides to get her full Cha-Cha on? Just asking.

Actually I don't remember the last time I have felt an earthquake! Maybe when I was 7 and we lived in Lincoln CA! I think it would take a pretty big quake to knock them down.
As far as taking them up and down, it isn't that hard with the fork lift! The idea is to not have to take them up and down all the time. We will be using it basically for storage of the cars that are not running, then if once we do get them running (which may take a long time to get to them) we will use it to store the one's we don't want to drive a lot. But I think they will be the not runners for a while! LOL Hubby seems to always find a paying customer, so the Pintos get knocked back!! >:( ;D

When Mother Nature wants to do the Wild Thang she usually does it in Southern Cali. San Andreas Fault is down here. The last couple shakers were centered near El Centro (east of me) and below the U.S/Mexico border. I think Kimmy is relatively safe, unless the Big One comes, like the one in San Fran in '06 (1906 that is!).

I don't even think I felt that SF quake either! I heard about it on the tv!!
Uh, Kimmy... you weren't alive in 1906! Unless you look eons younger than you really are, or you're reincarnated or something... and anyway, there were no TVs in 19aught6. lol. :lol:
I was thinking the same thing :) And I wish I had a place like that I might have 4 or 5 by now. I thought she was joking about putting them on shelves too but she sure did :)

Oh, I thought you were talking about the one that collapsed the freeway and took out a section of one of the bridges! I don't remember how long ago it was but I know I saw it on tv! LOL
So Kim.... which one are you giving me as a congratulations gift for getting my own apartment? :lol:
You don't get either of the Squires... I got dibs! lol.
