Call the tool counter at your neighbourhood Sears and ask them when the 
mechanic's tool sets are going on sale next.
They're normally $200ish and go on at half price.
You could buy either an inch or metric set and also buy the opposite 
socket set
 'cause you need both and they usually go on sale at the same time.
 ( maybe $50 from regular $100)

I had planned on using baggies, markers, maybe photos, etc.  But, I'm sure that plenty of you have been down this path and have lots of ideas.  Then it dawned on me that I may have a tracking book for one part of the project (re-doing the window raises, for instance), and then on the same day, I might work on the front winch (Jeep, remember).  So, it can't be in a spiral-type book.
