    Foam for toolbox shadowing

    I used the perforated black drawer liner that you can get at any box retail store, then used the blue foam mats from Walmart. My drawers look just as professional as the guys who used Snap On Foam. I'll see if the wife can send some pics and I will post them later for you.
