<VV> Lost Hardware / see through bottles

[Rick Norris]

I keep a supply of cheap pie tins on hand to keep small parts in (such as 
carb parts) when I will not have it down too long. Also go to the cheepo 
store like Big Lots and pick up stainless mixing bowls or dog bowls. Thet 
will not rust and are easy to clean up. I put all the hardware from my front 
and rear sway bars in them when I have the car down for maintainence or 
changes.
One thing about the tins and bowls is, watch where you drag your airhose or 
power cords. You can spend a lot of time figuring out where all those small 
parts go!! Don't ask me how I know!
