And another one in SoCal that might be a good deal with the top box. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/390343201619746/

I used a 9ft x 5 foot piece (trimmed to 3 feet of height)for the front and sides of the cabinet. If I had known about how to use cutting tape to make seams I could have done it with a 6 by 5 piece. Since the front of your cabinet is all drawers your layout is simple, separate pieces for left...

Hard to tell from that angle, but I would say wrapping it should be pretty straightforward - if the cabinet opening for the drawers is set at 90 degree angles it would be very easy, if (like my MAC) the corners are rounded it gets tricky and that's where I struggled the most. Using good quality...

I used a single piece of vinyl for the cabinet as I wasn't too confident in my ability to hide seams - while there are some overlapping pieces of sheet metal, there is not trim on the cabinet to tuck a seam under. In retrospect, it was very difficult to get the single sheet placed correctly...

Bought this a couple of weeks ago from a pawn shop, in good shape mechanically other than sticky sliders but it had pretty dull paint that turned my shop towels red when I gave it its initial cleaning. After some research it's clear this is a common issue on this vintage of box due to the use of...

So wrapping is done approximately 12 hours of effort later. It's definitely not a perfect job (I'd call it a five footer), but came out much better than if I had tried to spray it I'm quite sure. I learned a few lessons especially how much easier it is to work with the premium wraps like Avery...

Too late, wrapping in progress lol. Pictures to come.

Looks like a pretty nice one in the SF Bay Area. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/554671048622327/

Well now that everything is working as it should I'm at a predictable crossroads where I'm a lot more bothered by a couple of areas of paint damage, the worst of which on one of the deep / wide cabinets that has flaked off to metal. It's about silver dollar size right where one of the pull...

So approximately 12 hours of labor later all of the slides have been removed, thoroughly cleaned using the capped PVC method documented in other threads here, then reinstalled. Like an idiot I didn't take pictures before hand so re-installation took a lot longer than it should while I figured...

Yeah I would say this box is very solid. Very little grime on the inside of the cabinet, just a layer of dust and dirt on the horizontal surfaces and even the worst slider is still pretty good and will clean up just fine. All of the drawers are super straight and show just a bit of paint wear in...

It was actually a close call for me as I do want to be able to roll it around the garage a little bit and the Taco Box is a lot more mobile though with a bigger footprint. I wasn't planning on this being my primary tool storage unit so the limited drawer space wasn't a huge deal, but the...

OK I figured it out. If you extend the sliders all the way out there is a small screw attaching the slider to the cabinet which was hidden on the first couple of sliders I tried that weren't extending all the way. Tugging hard on them exposed the screw, after removing it just pull up and out. Voila!

Just picked up a pretty solid ball bearing MB1500 with what looks like a factory stainless steel top for use in my home garage. Box is very straight and paint is decent enough not to require an immediate repaint. All the drawers operate but a few are sticky so I thought I'd just yank the sliders...

Just to circle back on this, I ended up talking myself out of it at $300 as I found a Mac MB1500 that works a bit better with my garage setup. This one is in Chowchilla (Central Valley California) if anyone's interested in it.

Yes that's the cart. Trying to finalize arrangements to pick it up tomorrow.

We are negotiating and are at $300 now, have to decide whether to make the drive or not.

Resurrecting this one to ask about opinions on this box that I'm considering as a mobile workstation for bicycle repair and maintenance. Would add a wood top, vise and potentially a repair clamp. I've got to drive 90 miles to check it out and the seller inherited it from his father in law and...

Yes, it was the HF Airless HVLP unit I used. It's been a while now but I believe I settled on thinning at 80/20 and added an ounce of Valspar 4625 hardener per quart (nasty stuff that needs a very good respirator and adequate ventilation.) I'd say the results are a solid 5 footer, with some...

Lordy, that's an awesome mix and should keep you endlessly entertained. I do hope you have tall fences and your neighbors don't mind a talkative pup :)
