He said the hot rod is in the bodyshop but did not elaborate from there. I think it was a bit of a sore subject.

Wow you did some good work with a porta power. That is one tool I have not yet worked with. I pounded out the bottom drawer as much as possible but have not touched the dents. I plan to let whomever buys it do the body work and paint if they decide. I estimate I will have 3 hours of work into...

I ended up drilling a hole in the bottom and using a couple steel plates to pull it back as much as possible. I have the bottom mostly flat, and ordered an 1/8 inch thick plate to span the entire bottom for $20. I will need all 4 casters and paint on the plate for the bottom but I'm going to...

You were correct. In the picture of the whole stack, you can see the big hole in the sheetrock and the dent in the bottom drawer where it was hit. Gotta love Craigslist!

The force put the bottom about 8 inches into the wall behind it. The casters caught the 2x4 footer for the wall and bent...

I found this a garage sale near my cabin last weekend. I was surprised when my dad and grand father were both stumped. It has a tag that says J.S.H. &Co it is No. XRB and Cost was 2.25 for it the head of the tool appears to be brass.

L.Cheapo I did not think of being hit by a car or something, but that is a very plausible theory. I will ask when I pick it up tomorrow. leg17- I keep looking at the picture and I think your on to something with pounding it out and not cutting. I am going to do everything I can to pound the...

I am heading to pick up this box tomorrow morning and was curious if anyone has ever fixed a damaged Snap On box like this before? I was thinking to cut out the bottom and weld in a new 1/4 inch plate and new castors. That sounds incredibly easy, I hope the repair goes that smoothly. The drawer...

Clean the subfloor as much as possible with a scraper and then lay out your cement board. Once laid out use a 1/4 x 1/4 trowel and put a layer of thinset between the plywood and the cement board and then screw it down. this will save you a ton of headaches in the future. Now you are ready to...
