Let's see your tool box...that you use use to work on the stang

Here's mine........

Here's mine:



After I finish my breakfast it's down to the garage to fix a problem with my intake.

Well, this is about 80% of my tools, anyway - not pictured are my few ghetto power tools, jacks, and ramps in the closet to the left. Everything on the top of my "bench" - actually an old dresser turned on its side - and primarily in that lil' black tool box that weighs a good 70 lbs., that's my own little gathering of tidbits I've been adding to since I was 18. Oh, and the two rolls of Cummins Tools combo wrenches I scored a few years back solely for the purpose of working on my first '89 notch.

The "garage" that I keep all of this crap is actually the spare bedroom, which is so friggin' tiny that a twin-sized bed probably won't even fit in it. One of these days, I'd like to at least have a storage shed outside so I don't have to keep running in/out of the house for everything when I go to work on stuff, but I'm paranoid of someone breaking into it and raiding my stash of goodies. I REALLY miss having an actual garage from back when I lived in Kansas City, MO - 10 degrees outside at 3am, yet I'm able to fart around with exhaust projects n' stuff, all nice n' cozy in a heated, enclosed area with all my stuff within easy reach and an old radio blasting Manowar.

yeah... you can see it in my second picture. well just the conner of it.

I sort of inherited my tools from a friend's mom....it's a great story..

His father died when he was very young and that man was a mechanic. Well, the son never cared about tools, and one day later in life his mother went bankrupt and had to get rid of all her stuff, so i was given whatever i wanted out of the tool shed. I got this old rusty/beat up tool box full of rusted up sockets...at the time i was all about BMX and needed whatever tools i could get.

Well, i soon realised that the late father was a smart man and he spent his tool money on Craftsman tools....as all the sockets and wrenches and ratches were Craftsman. So...off to Sears i went!!

The old guy at the counter threw a fit but he replaced every single tool in the box. So i've got one tool box with about 4 socket strips full of sockets, a few necessary wrenches and ratches, pliars and stuff like that, and it all lives in the trunk of my coupe.

There's nothing like 1) having all your tools with you when you break down, and 2) smoking a stupid ricer on cruise night and then showing him that i have a 75lb tool box, floor jack, 2 jack stands and various other junk in my trunk while i did it..lol.
