I use metal holiday popcorn containers for temporary storage of oily rags until I dispose of them properly. Save the plastic bubbles from new printer cartridges for mixing small amounts of epoxy or paint. A cookie sheet makes a good soldering surface and also contains the small parts that can easily "get away" when disassembling a project. My parts bath has a tea strainer with a removable top for the really small parts.

Sure wish one could buy a car like this today, but with modern brakes, handling, and MPG. Now, all we seem to be getting are mostly- amorphous crossovers, and huge four-door pickups ill-suited to the tasks they are assigned.

My first car was a 68 Dodge Charger. The headlamp doors didn't work when I bought it used in 1974, but I would manually open and close them by hand because I thought the car looked so much better with the covers down. Wasn't smart enough of a mechanic at 16 years old to actually know how to fix them to work properly. I do remember a few nights driving home from work with people flashing their lights at me because I forgot to flip the doors open. Still one of my favorite looking cars. Wish people would have read the beginning of this article so they would not be commenting about vehicles with pop up headlamps instead of fixed covered headlamps. Save the pop ups for a future article.
