Agreed. I had one in college

I found this picture and forgot I had it. This is Coke project I lost steam on after my father passed. After all this paintwork and a new gun purchase I think its time to finish it out.

Well its been a few weeks and thought I'd follow up. I am just about finished up. There are a few more detail items I still have to get to but its almost there. I found this stamped sheet of aluminum that is almost identicle from the black trim I destroyed when I broke the cabinets down...

Why in the world would you buy **** tools and expect anything less than **** tools let alone take the time to review them. You make the mistake of believing that they care about your opinion or offering you a value for your money. If they pay for and host a website to promote their junk and...

I used structural grade diamond plate aluminum I got at the scrap yard. Looking back I would probably try to find some used stainless steel prep tables out of a commercial kitchen.

Depending on how bad it is 00 and finer steal wool will clean the surface or you can use a clay bar to clean it then follow it up with a good liquid polish. You will have to keep it polished regularly.

I have a really nice one on craigslist now for 275.00 I had an older guy in a rodded 53 custom line stop buy this week take a look at it and say if it had roller bearings I'd buy it. This thing is 70' s vintage with no dent or dings. Dad bought for home use and hardly touched it. I showed...

I'm guessing around a grand. It's kinda like a taco cart. They are so cool but often shunned because of age or size

Since your in cali and just curious I put down a bid

Look at the drawer side from the inside you will see a small dimple stamped into it. On the outside of the drawer its a bump covered by the slide. At the end edge of the drawer slide you will see a small flat blue strip of spring steel rivited to the guide. The end of that impacts the bump on...

There is a NAPA auto parts in Tomball that fabs hydraulic hoses they most likly have them. You might also try Fastenal in the woodlands if its close.

I agree I went to McPherson college and the rep offered the same discount at the time. I respect the reputation but at 50% and still making a profit it goes to show what the mark up really is. I just bought a fridge and the wife found a mismarket model 200 less than list she said we have to...

You could beat them flat and take them to a local fab shop. You would pay more in labor than material but it would be the finishing touch and probably cost less than if you sourced them through SO

I really appreciate all the comments. I ended up buying two of the top boxes. I really like the style. Once I get these finished I'm moving to the other roller and top. I want to span the two banks with my side box and the double door cabinet overhead. I cant decide if I want to continue on...

Your right. I hadn't thought of that but I do have a thing for old coke machines too. Thats probably why I really like this top box.
