Or a piece of aluminum sheet and some tin snips and you'll have a tool bench on your el camino.

Here's mine.

Very nice. I’ve seen a few around, that is very clean. I was interested in directing the air to the radiator. Have you noticed any improvement in cooling since installing?

Unfortunately I can't say. Even though I never had any cooling issues I bought it for the same reason. However, I installed this at the same time I installed the supercharger.

Get a carpenter's belt to wear around your waist. Put the tools in the slots.

Or drop them between the Wranglers and the Fruit of the Looms.
Do consider another option though when using the 7 1/2" circular saw.

It’s the Sawzall I’m always leary of!

Thanks for replies. I do have one of those “filler“ plates on the future shopping list. Maybe I’ll have to get one of these with or without the panel.

Well if your hood opened the correct way you would have this area to use.
