Default RE: The Dodge Room, 2008

were actually well beyond our capacity. if you notice, the one wall to the left of the door, has all of the cards overlapped...we used to have them spread out, but we were out of room. we also have stuff that in storage, because there is no room for it here...boxes of things like brochures, magazines, t-shirts, etc...originally, the dodge room had shelves for those items as well, but when we were just over 1000 unique pieces on the walls and shelves, we are pretty much completely out of room, so we have started to retire items.

we also have several hundred "doubles" (and in some case triples and quadruples) that are packed away in storage. we are trying to come up with a system that allows us to carry a list of what we have, but its tough at things like the mopar nationals, to carry around an 1100+ item list, that is small, but can still be read enough to check the list.

when we started putting effort into the collection, we would go to a store, or swap meet, or event, and buy everything that we could find, that we believed to be below or at market value...but we dont have room for that, so we focus on more unusual items now.

my hope is to have the entire collection as a backdrop to a one of the full sized collection. ideally, id like to have a fair sized one stall garage with a finished floor, where we would keep the demon, and all around it, would be the collection from what is now the dodge room...or, have the mirada and demon together...or maybe the new challenger and the demon...
