vehicle is a 1999 Honda Accord. It has a fairly small trunk which =
is why I
want a nice big 4-door Ford F-150 or 250 (but that's another story and =
$30K in
the future <g>). Anyway, I currently am using a fishing tackle box =
for
small parts like damper and jack springs, vetical hammer butts, etc. The =
box can
be opened on either side for access - it's about 20x20x7 and has =
dividers which
can be arranged in various configs. There are two large yellow =
tool boxes
from Lowes which store various tools like action regulating, extra =
lever
tips, action support cradle clamp thingees, spring clamps, center =
pinning
supplies, sandpaper, etc. Pianotek has some hard plastic cases on =
page D-18
which I've just bought to organize even further into smaller containers. =
For
instance, one holds all my case cleaning stuff and another damper stuff. =
My plan
is to buy more of these to "compartmentalize" things so I don't have to =
dig
through a ton of things to find that one thing I'm looking
for.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=765083211-25052004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

in the trunk is a case for universal strings, one for plain wire and =
stringing
accessories, 2 small cases for reg. punchings, Dremel tool, drill and =
bits,
vacuum cleaner. several small cases for screws and rubber nails/buttons. =
There's
a box for retail packaged stuff like Dampp-Chaser fluid =
and cleaning
kits. And, even a couple of carboard boxes to hold things I just =
haven't
yet found a great place for yet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

this gives you some ideas to get started. You have a lot more space to =

than I, so you might not have to be as creative about getting everything =

<DIV>Ok, so I've decided to delay purchasing the trailer (mini-shop) =
at least
for the present time. Now I would like to begin thinking about
organizing my Pontiac Vibe (mini-suv w/4.5' x 5' feet of flat fold =
down space
in back) for efficient work and parts access. If anyone knows of =
a good
resource for storage bins and tool boxes that can be easily secured in =
such a
vehicle, or any other good ideas for vehicle organization, =
please
let me know.</DIV>
