If you do component restoration it lessons the amount of parts and pieces you accumulate. In other words for instance, remove a headlight assembly, disassemble, glass bead and paint then reassemble and put the assembly away with the correct mounting hardware. I did this on my 53 and never had too much of a muddle.

Also, I liked to number my ziplock bags, then keep a ledger in a notebook depicting what was in each numbered bag.
