2 Day Restoration

[Darren]

My father gave me the first toolbox he bought for work in 1980. I decided to bring it back to its illustrious 1980 shine. Sorry I don't have a before picture. But just imagine it had survived the Holocaust, it was bad. I took it apart cleaned it all, sanded, painted, and greased the sliders. Good as new. The grey box is one I got for Christmas. Ben helped a little too.

 

I'm so proud of myself. :chillin:

Cool!

 

Overspray on the wheel trunnions though?

[jpdocdave]

[BPB]

Cool!

 

Overspray on the wheel trunnions though? You really suck!!! you should have just payed Ben to paint that. It looks like it went through the holocaust. If I painted something and it looked like that I would kill my self!!!!

 

:agree: I see streaks on the side that doesn't have the cabinet. Maybe another coat or two.

Who gives a $#!+ about your old man's tool box anyway? That's the first Earl Scheib job I've seen done to a toolbox. It sucks. :yes:

 

Oh, and I suggest you never consider rattle-canning your truck. If it comes out anything like that crappy toolbox job, it'll look like a subway train from the Bronx.

LOL, no not at all. goblazers and I take very sarcastic and personal jabs at each other a lot, with an understanding it's all for fun with no serious intent at all, except for when i point out he is ghey. Now loosen up the tension on your self-imposed wedgie and relax! Get it? :brows:

Ummm, getting back to the toolbox ...

 

Looks great.

[87ComancheLB]

Looks really good, But would look better if you wipe the coaster wheels with some carburetor cleaner it will take it right off, give it a more professional look. imo

[jeep_freek88]

Very Funny......Not the tool box just the posts on it..... :rotf: :rotf:

 

The tool box looks sweet

Everywhere he goes - all the JPers know - goblazers_6 has a toolbox that he loves to show :thumbsup:

that's very cool! i have a tool chest from my grandpa that is very early sears craftsman. i display it on a cool little display with an old tire and air hose outside my garage. i've thought about redoing it, but i just can't get myself to change it from the way he left it. i've also got some of his tools including a very old craftsman circular saw that still works. all his tools are in mint condition because he felt you spend money on it once and make it last forever. i really don't use them, they're more of a keepsake. every now and then i use something just in case old grandpa is watching from up there. he'd kick my but if i were just letting them sit! :rotf:
