Uncle Gump just carried his tools in a TOE SACK, very handy & in rolling around in the sack, they were "self cleaning"!

M1917/M1918/M1928 30 cal oak ammo box for a 30 cal water-cooled machine gun. Early model with leather carrying handle. If it doesn't fit the 30s, why fake it?;) How many here have used old metal surplus ammo cans for storage? I'm sure quite a few so why not WWI surplus wooden ammo box for a 1931 Model A? ;)

My ammo cans are filled with ammo.

I know it not big enough to carry a full selection of tools a mechanic would have with them but, in my case, it's big enough for my AAA membership card!!!! ;)

I haven't put one together for the car yet but will need to get it figured out soon.

I like to use plastic or soft type tool boxes when carrying in my cars to prevent scratching.

I like tool boxes. I buy these Craftsman 6500 boxes used at swap meets and use them for storing tools, like clamps, KRW, rear axle, engine, etc.

They are stored on original Berloy Model A Ford dealer shelving units. I have about 80 linear feet of these 7' shelving units along walls, mostly full of Orbis plastic totes, full of my Model A parts, mostly NOS/NORS or mint used. Totes are also arranged and labeled by contents. This way I know right where to find things. It is fairly organized.

Sheet metal mostly hangs on the walls or from the ceiling.

For my obsessive collection of NOS head gaskets, I like to keep them mostly in old sawzall tool boxes if they are not in original packaging. I also have four large Orbis totes for complete unopened boxed gasket sets. The gaskets are mostly from the 1930s-70s.
