Default buried treasure

After seeing the picture Brandon posted of his 72 Vette, buried under a ton of stuff in the garage, (posted in the "winter projects" thread), it got me to thinking how many others have buried treasure in the garage? My 66 goat has`nt been out of the garage in years, and is now serving as a parts rack for Corvette, and 65 Chevy truck parts.
So let`s see your "on hold" toys or projects.

My on-hold project has yet to arrive. I've been looking for an affordable early Yamaha enduro to rebuild next. A 1968 or 69 DT1 would be excellent, but any pre 1975 175, 250 or 360 would work. A Kawasaki triple would also find a home in the bullpen.

Scrap steel laying around the garage, a couple welding rods, a radiator out of the 65 truck we`re building, a plastic gas can, and a battery.
I couldn`t see paying $1500 or more for one, so I put this together in a couple weekends.

Cool stand.

My vette was buried under itself for years.
