    Since you plan to have a lift, I suggest you put your tools in roller cabinets. That way everything you need can be close at hand when you are working under the car. I didn't have the floor space available to go that way and hung all my tools on the walls or in wall anchored cabinets. I've regretted that decision every time the lift is up and I have to scoot out to grab another tool or part.

    I will definitely consider roll-up doors. It will help with lighting options as well.

    My toolbox rolls, but I also have a small rolling cabinet that I use for exactly what you described when working on a project under the car.
