Kinda tough to let this kind of crap go but you have to. Just know Karma will probably get that a hole. I had same thing happen, drove to Seattle (2 plus hours) in my old suburban to buy a Landcruiser hard top. I told the guy exactly when I'd be there. I show up, don't see it anywhere, dude comes out of the house and starts looking around the yard and with some VERY bad acting says "Somebody Stole It"! Ugh!

Karma (nature or what ever you believe in) will always make right. You just may not see it happen, usually you do, then I just try not to laugh, again karma. I just try to live by that anymore. A bit less stressful and a bit less drama.
 
I need to get some peg board up in my shop, every time I work on something I'm digging stuff out of my tool box. I found one that can go on the back of my roll around, that one's 52 inches wide. With the height of my work bench I think I only want a 24 inch tall but around 10 feet wide.

Hate the stuff. Gave away pretty much a truckload of it. Grab wrench, hook falls out. Pick up hook and doesent want to go back in board. Remove other crap to make room to get hook to right angle, move more stuff and so on.

a blob of silicone in each hole prevents hooks from wandering off. Hot glue would work.

I had it in my last house/2 car garage and yeah, it's not the best. There are some listed as metal, don't know if that's much better. I've seen those wall mount systems where a bin has a wedged lip and it sits on the wall, but I don't want to have to pull things up and out for the most part and some will be at or above eye level. I have a stick built shop so maybe I'll look at 16 inch or wider row hanging hooks. Also what's getting me right now is tool migration, I take tools and put them on my work truck, forget to put them back in the shop. Right now my socket and wrench selection is way better out of the back of my truck lol!

When my tools were at work, 50 miles away i ended up duplicating a lot of tools. Now that im working at home i have a pretty much complete second set in my storage building. Thats where im working on my fargo when time permits. No pressure to get done and truck out so i can work during the week.

I can't find the gif of that guy dancing by a pool.

Dang, I need to be better prepared for Thursday next week
 
Morning, a new day at Carlisle. My buddy John was going through his stuff as he loaded a trailer full and found two of the three things I was looking for. A NOS left tail lens and a 67 year only bottom trunk trim molding clip. That’s nice not much else to do but enjoy!!

I’m curious to hear how busy it is compared to normal.


Morning everyone
 
Here those trim clips I’ve looked for for so long. One goes on each end of the molding. A nut and bolt rubs on the trunk molding and scratches the paint. One year only they slightly changed design the trunk molding in 68. As you see the two on the left are different from the two on the right. That’s how crazy this got. Now you see how hard it was to find. All the people I asked only two old Barracuda guys John and Barracuda Kid knew what I was talking about. That though is the fun part of parts hunting. Finally I have them!!
