New Project: Restore Tool Box.

[Marlin]

So, after nearly 12 years of sitting out in the weather, being toss around trucks, beat on at various jobsites, and sitting in the back for the last 3 years. The time has come to restore this to it's former glory. Or, a little better.

I've got most of a can of silver spray paint if you need it.

[Marlin]

Thanks Stu, I'm sure that will do the trick...

A white Chevy Blazer was tailgating me while hauling ass North up Federal tonight around 6:00 pm-ish today. I saw the driver but couldn't tell if it was you or not.


Now back on topic. Are you going to just sand it down and repaint it or what? I guess I've never really thought of what goes into "restoring" a metal box. I have a snap on tool box that is in worse condition. Are you going to keep it the same color? Any flames? In the words of Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "It looks like my pool is tearin' ass around the back yard, but it's just sittin' there!"

[Marlin]

Nope innocent of that. I was home at 6.

Yeah, sand it down, fix a few rust spots, and repair the hinge.

[Irving]

What about a liner for inside the drawers? Also, while you're at it, you should rig it up to play your favorite song* when you open the top. Or a little camera to take a picture of whoever is stealing your tools.
