Re: restoring 6os Texaco sign pole Hi Don Long The work on the Texaco pole is awesome! Rothko

That's the business!! What would that be, at that quality, at todays prices new!! Nice one. Rothko

Yes but it doesn't,it's the OTHER ONE I have(I've got two of them).Same model,with the 12 drawers,but in great condition. You'd think it WOULD be this one but it ain't! I will be trying the picture send /resize later on today. Rothko

Hi rtole That's amazing.All those things and still no result!! Same boat mate! Rothko

Thanks all !!!! Good work there Jasper.It's the same model as second photo,but in great condition. I was looking forward to renovating this one,but the other good one came up,and was a kind of spanner in the works.This one in the photo here is in poor condition, but again ,such a brilliant...

Hi Yer Car wax smell that's ok, but this is something else! It seems to be contained in the molecular structure of the paintwork and NEVER stops building up when you shut the lid down.Horrible old carwax/vomit smell. It really is a super box though.I think it's what you call a road...

Hi Again The tool box I was discussing a while back is now in my garage.Possibly the best box I'll ever own but really it's got to go.Very down about that. That smell of 'gone off' car wax is something I can't live with. Lots of ideas here but nothing worked,I tried the lot. I know it...

What I omitted to say was the contamination of the paintwork is coming from the toptray,the fixed one.I have done all the applications to the empty drawer area and will now concentrate on the fixed top tray. I am going to try T-cutting over and over to try to get rid of the top layer at...
