As I disassemble my truck looking for how to best to keep my parts/pieces organized. I want to spend a little as possible, don't want a bunch of plastic bins sitting around after I am done but would like to keep them somewhat organized as well. So far what I have done is buy 3 HUGE plastic storage bins the size of trunks really. Labeled each of them Bed, Cab and Front End. I put my parts into large plastic freezer bags label them and put them into the big storage bin based on where they came off the truck. As for the large body parts (hood, fenders, doors, bed) they are at a buddies garage where we do the body work. So far that is working good, but having a couple of issues:
1. Some parts are still just too big to fit into the largest freezer bag. - Should I just use drawstring trash bags or something else for those?
2. As I refinish individual parts (say the horn, hood latch, heater, etc. what I am finding is I need a way to protect the new finish on those as I put more stuff into the storage bins and/or rummage through them looking for things. - How should I protect those pieces and still make
them easy to access without a zillion boxes, shredded newspaper, bubble wrap etc. everywhere?
Any other suggestions/comments are welcomed from some you experienced bolters who have been there/done that. I don't have a large shop. My garage space is extremely limited and I stack the bins back up on the bed frame each night when I am finished!
