had soemthing like that, someone threw it out!!! I use plastic bags, you can put carb cleaner in them while are being stored and then you got shiney bolts!

 

Putting them back where they belong is my style...

Remove the bolt, then remove the part, and then bolt back the bolt where it belongs. Sure that is more work, but it beats the hell of looking for the right bolt

 

Sandwich baggies and a Sharpie.

Group together your bolts how you want them, stick 'em in the sack, label it with the Sharpie.

 

^ that or a piece of card board you can push a bolt through. it works good for stuff like the tranny bolts where there are a few different sizes you can lable the top and put the bolts in the same pattern they are in on the trans on the cardboard.

 

Damn thats a great Idea! I do a combination of putting the bolts/nuts back together, using baggies(mainly interior stuff), or I lay them out on a table I use, but sometimes they get knocked around and the bolts/nuts for different parts get piled into one

 

I usually use ziploc bags w/ labels...it makes for a lot of bags when things are apart for a few days but saves me the trouble of searching hehe I also have a large ziploc bag in one rear bin with many different sized small screws/bolts (10mm hehe) and a bag of zip ties and a gallon of coolant, just in case. the other bin is just a small tool set

 

The Best possible solution, is to put them nuts/bolts back into the hole they came from after removing the item in question. If thats not possible, than use ziploc bags.

 

Zip Lock bags and sharpies! With my bad memory, it really helps.

 

I usually tape them together in a row, or screw them slightly down into a piece of cardboard in the general shape of the places they came out of.

These only work on fairly small projects though...

 

Come on, that is my style....

GET YOUr OWN STYLE

That's what I do to. Just put the nut or bolt back where I pulled it off from. Or I just lay them around the engine bay or floor. I've taken these cars apart enough times that I can usually remember where they go to.

 

I usually just throw the screws wherever. I find most of them.

This backfires though...I'm missing a lot of screws in my car... I need to find a place that sells the right size for the car

 

I'm telling you, zip locs and sharpies..best way! hahaha but sometimes I get lazy and just put them back in the hole they came from.
