Well, contrary to what the other person in the houshold would say the easiest way to store all those parts is........ Keep the car! You can roll it around to other places on its own wheels. All the parts stay orgainzied and remind you right where they should go when you swap them out into the car your are going to repair. Roll it where you want it. Put it on jack stands taking weight off the tires ever so slightly. Or Higher if your going to constantly be climbing under it. Infact..... if you can store it higher it will help prevent critters from nesting in it. Invest in a good tarp and change it out every year. Use a weed eater to keep it tidy around the car and make the other half happy. (Also helps with critter infestations.) Put rat traps around so the rats go after the trap food and not your wiring etc.

How do you convince the other half. Remind them that to store all the parts you need to keep can either cost:
1. ----> a buch of money:
- Building storage shed or adding on to garage some storage cabinets to keep everything organized
2. ---->a little money
-jack stands and a tarp maybe a tent style Garage/carport
