Tool kit or display
I was looking all over the forum for information on what I should have in a tool display for my car and haven't had any luck. Can you guys help me out and show me some pictures and descriptions of what you have? I have several tools from the era, but I want it to be correct for my display. Thanks

Re: Tool kit or display
There is a guy here on FB that makes a box similar to the one Ray shows above:

Re: Tool kit or display
I made some felt socks for mine to keep them from getting chipped. At shows, I take them out of the socks and display them on the tan canvas bag I store them in.

Re: Tool kit or display
I found that only one member in our club had ever collected a full set of Model A tools. In fact, none of the officers had, and even the president did not know what tools came with the Model A. He assumed a jack and crank, but wasn't sure what else if anything. I don't think the idea had ever occurred to him. When I showed them my not-so-great set, they were amazed. Not enough to begin building up a set themselves, but still a little surprised that Ford provided such a great set of tools for free with the car.
But then, none of them are on fordbarn either. I'm slowly working on my second set. But I've learned that very few of these tools are available at the swap meets I go to. So I may need a better source. Back East, maybe? It does make me wonder how long these will be available.

Re: Tool kit or display
The dimensions are:
Length: 22" Width: 12" Height: 5.25" It's made out of cedar privacy fence slats and 1/4" plywood, and covered with teak oil. Nothing exotic -- all Home Depot stuff. The panels are 1/4" plywood with green felt covering. The cut-outs make the tools sink in. White Velcro is hot-glued to the back and poked through slits in the felt. My apologies to Don Turley for copying his excellent design. http://www.donturley.com/

Re: Tool kit or display
They are usually available at swap meets and are much less expensive bought one at a time than in complete sets. There are 13 in all and the most expensive one is the tire pump. Check the standards for pictures.

Re: Tool kit or display
Thanks, I have a tire pump, but I'm not sure if I have the correct wrenches, I need to drag them out and look. I'm not trying to put a set together for judging, my car isn't in that class, but I thought it would be fun to have something for when I go to local meets.
