Most used box (actual working area). Yup, that's a 1976 Bicentennial commemorative Snap-On top and bottom. Bought it new in '75.

and on and on and on.........

Painting/sanding/electrical cabinet, buried, as usual. Misc. caca stacked on shelving. Lots of those fiddly-bits you never need until you do.

Roll-around mini-machine shop set-up.

The mamba-jamba. Stuffed full of specialty stuff.

Back porch. For that stuff that you rarely use but there might be a need.

I call this the "Lost Boys" section. Not really sure of what all is there but it must be needed or else I would have tossed it. I see a hood, sand blasting cabinet, I know there is a complete rear sub-frame for a W115 under there along with the diff. Lots of chrome goodies and misc. W114 fiddly things. A/C parts, heater boxes, mostly interior cabin stuff.

Don't be put off by the small tree growing. That's a Palo Verde tree. Those things seem to sprout over night with only a spit of water. I cut that weed down to the ground at least 3 times a year.
