Garage Organizing - part 53 -- Rearranging, again -- Putting 1/87 scale model cars in the tall flat files.....

All of these came from the annual Porsche Swap Meet at the LAX Hilton, over the last couple of years...  Haven't counted but probably more than 200...

This scale model cars (1/87 or HO scale) is where all the collecting started from about 30 years ago...













Friday, June 5, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Overcast day.  Hardly anyone on the beach at lunch time.  Some big choppy surf...

Garage Organizing - part 52 -- Rearranging, again -- Lancia Dash & Kennedy tool box bases.....

Decided to move the Lancia dash to where these two Kennedy Lower Base cabinets were (on top of the gray flat files).  They were not very accessible being so high and back on the tall flat files.  It's a better location for something to display than something requiring access...

Had to temporarily clutter up the rear counters with the stuff that need homes...

Painful to clutter up the cleared spaces, even temporarily...

Cleared and cleaned the table top of the island flat file...

The top of the tall flat file has been cleared  & cleared.  It's ready for the Lancia Dash.  I measured the dash and it's too wide.  Have to move the Kennedy tool boxes on either side of the tall flat files over a few inches on both sides...

Don't really want to put stuff on the island flat file, but for now these bases will live here.  On the other hand, in terms of access to the drawers, it can't be much better.

It would be better to have the whole top of the island flat files be clear...  Oh well...
