They all look like he just fished them outta a swamp, not sure hanging them from the rafters will make much difference. The chains appear to be doing thier own panel work on fenders, front and rear panels, plus no doubt bending frame rails, causing the cars to sag in the midle and rendering them useless.

Sell the cars to someone who will care for and respect them while they're on the ground before you get to this point and stick them in the roof for the pigeons to crap in.

Amen bro !!!
 
how do all these flakes end up with these cars anyways? i seen that on carsinbarns also, how retarted can one be anyways that retarted thats how much.
 
I think if I saw someone do this, you'd find "owner in the rafters" LOL
 
I don't get the point. Why would someone do this?
 
well............they WERE nice cars .. ! another sad pic of wasted Mopars ....

One way to gain floor space..... I guess. At least their indoors. The owner must realize the value of them to go through the trouble of storing them in that manner. Likely, even if he never does anything with them, they will eventually end up in the hands of someone who will know what to do.

Next time on "Bubba and Gator's Home Improvement".............

"How to install Coon *** chandelier's"

Don't miss the 1/2 hour bonus special on "Natural Gas.....A can of beans and a Mason Jar".
 
Guess he wasn't smart enough to just improve his security lol maybe use those chains to hold them doors shut...
 
Thats different!​

Many years ago an old gentleman collector in Detroit who had spent most of his life buying cars... antiques...classics.... mostly from the 20's, 30's and 40's
cured his storage problem by draining all the fluids and stacking his cars on their rear bumpers like dominos. What a sight....!!! 100's of cars in a huge warehouse all stacked like a picket fence on a lean. He passed on and all were auctioned... I bet a lot of those cars can be seen at shows and concourse events around the country.

In his own strange way this fellow is preserving those cars to be restored by someone in the future. They do look rough....but i've fixed worse.

The support system here is somewhat of a crime but I tend to agree with your thoughts. Necessity is the mother of invention, but if I were to do this I would have created something a bit more elegant to support the cars. Then you have to wonder how the rest of the building is. I wouldn't want to be in there and find out that I just put up one car too many :icon_hang:
 
C'mon Meeps, you know that storage system wouldn't last here in the land of earthquakes. Actually, that would be a truly frightening sight.
 
Well, they are his cars to do whatever he wants. I have a Dana 60 complete with ladder bars hanging from the ceiling joists in my shop that's been there for a long time now. Did it to get it out of my way and off the floor. At least it's not outside....
