Nice. Picked up 2 filters for my S4. Thanks op!

Here is the exact same thing. Paint it yourself or leave it. http://m.homedepot.com/p/N-A-1-574-in-x-0-23-in-x-11-73-in-Black-Iron-Extender-Hook-594209/205399646

So jelly. Came out awesome!

I actually thought it would be pretty cool to do the drawer bottoms with that crinkle paint. I used it on the box handle and it came out great. Then again, I also plan on using liners so it would get covered anyway. Plus that's a lot of area to cover, would likely drive up the cost quickly.

I have the same combo, "Pride of America" Edition. No trucks, but its got an Eagle on it, and "Pride of America" raised lettering. Pics of it are in my resto thread.

Update 2 So i was able to put in 2 solid days of work on the box. Got the casters disassembled, cleaned up and re-built. Also managed to finish stripping, and got 3 coats of self-etching primer on the box. The only part left to prep is the drawers. I do have a question on the drawer prep...

That tereflex looks like it would make good toolbox drawer liner

Yes on the hardener. I'll pick some up. I took the next 2 days off in honor of my birthday, so I plan to make some good progress

Update So a quick update. I havent had too much time to dedicate to the resto, but after wrestling around with myself, I have decided to do a full restoration now before I start using the box. I started with the lower unit, full de-grease and pressure wash. Then blew it out with air and wiped...

Wow, nice work. Bummer that re have to start over. I just picked up my kra combo, still in the process of cleaning and stripping. Where can you purchase the "pro" rustoleum?

Yes the black paint is a *****. The PO put on several coats, and was totally careless about overspray. So far I've only stripped 4 drawers

Yeah I took off the friction sliders and let them soak a few days in my electrolysis tank. Good as new. Thanks for the tip on the wax. The BB sliders are all cleaned up and re-greased. They slide smooth like new. I was hoping the trim came off. In stripping the paint, it appears the trim was...

Yeah I fear the same thing. But right now with work, full time student, 3year old and another due in Feb... Time and money are tight. I'd rather do it when I have the money to fully strip it, get the bodywork done, and get a professional quality re-spray. Plus, I need the storage now! Restored...

Hey guys, long time lurker here...finally posting something. A little background: I've been heavily into building and restoring European sports cars for several years, and as such, have a large collection of mechanics and specialty tools. My poor Craftsman "Homeowners" box (gift from the...

Really put in the effort on this one, eh?
