For storing small parts like fasteners, carb parts, etc., I use the clear
plastic containers that you can get from Walmart or Home Defect for a
couple of bucks apiece. They are flat and store stacked. You can adjust
the dividers inside to make big or small compartments and you can instantly
see what is in each compartment. You can even put little sticky labels
over each compartment to show what's inside. Believe me, this is
invaluable during a restoration.
