Tool Box for the Road

[JDC]

I have a 61 Studebaker that is on the back burner for now to to life priorities (Paying off debt, children, bad economy, etc,) so I decided to build a tool box for the car. I want to buy all old quality used tools to assemble a set. I tend to overpack so and suggestions would be great.

For the box itself I would get a Excell Cantilever. The tools themselves I would be hitting flea markets, yard sales and here on the clssifieds for USA tools. This is something that can be done on the cheap without a compromise in quality
