This is what I'm currently working on...
(not to scale)(measurements in inches, may not be exact. Still in the concept stages)
Using some OSB board, plywood, or otherwise I will fabricate a very simple 2 part box structure. The two boxes will be tied together. It will house several compartments. The exterior will have grey, exterior grade carpet. This will proved a smoother look, edges, and functionality. The lid will have 1" of overhang, so I can pull out the cargo box, and use it as a part time workbench. It will then swivel back around, forming around the pass. side wheel well. The scrap wood will be used to form the compartments, via dividers.
Four hinges will be mounted on the back, so it can open, as well as a prop to keep it open. One latch will be at the front, to keep it closed. I was thinking foam rubber padding can be placed an two compartments, they will be cut to size and fit both; metric, and SAE sockets. I haven't quite figured out the rest...
