Rick, I separate my tools and supplies into categories, then find or buy a storage box that will contain the items. My criteria is that the container must be easily accessible, and will look nice, especially if it is going into the customer's home. For instance, I have separate tool boxes for hammer shank repairs, re-pinning tools, cleaning and vacuum supplies, restringing/string repair, extra parts, and tools that are seldom used. I drive a Toyota Camry Wagon and have room for all my "stuff", my 5-year old son, and a grand action. You don't have to get it right the first time. At first, just haul as much stuff (nomenclature, Tom?) as you think you will need, and when you don't use if for a year, start leaving it at home. Have fun setting up your vehicle. Use your imagination, and don't stress about the "what if I don't have the right stuff with me". You can always set up a return appointment, and charge accordingly.

Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, Academy, etc. Loads of stuff to choose from at these type stores.
