    I think so too. I was originally going to go with the standard red/blue for SAE/Metric but said screw it. I think chrome sockets will look good against the highlighter color. Plus I just got a bright white tool box that this stuff is going into so it will really pop. Not that any of this matters...

    bending a sheet of stainless without a brake.

    I'm in South Bend, IN. There's a supplier "Alro Steel" huge warehouse about 10 minutes north of my work. That's who I originally had in mind that might be able to get it done.

    Not exactly a tool but my tool organizers came in today. Ernst socket boss, plier organizers, and wrench racks. Can’t wait to get it all set up. Went out on a limb and went with the “HiViz” green/yellow color.

    bending a sheet of stainless without a brake.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I may make a phone call to local metal supplier to see how much they would charge to bend it. It’s a little dirty but I’ve already tested out a small spot with some wd40 and scotch brite pad and it cleans up well. I’d hate to attempt to bend it myself and booger it...

    bending a sheet of stainless without a brake.

    Is there any way possible to put a 90 degree bend in a sheet of 14g stainless without a brake? I'm sure its a long shot, but wanted to check first. I got a free sheet of stainless about 6ft long by about 36" wide and want to use it as a top for my work table. My work table only measures about...

    Beautiful cars. I had an 89 LX convertible close to the same color as your fox, with a white top and interior. Shouldn't have sold it.

    Best 'bang for the buck' garage cabinets you can buy at the store?

    I really like the Seville cabinets, was ready to order a couple online but the small ones for $100 are out of stock. Estimated in stock date is like August 28th. I’ll keep my eyes open until then. Still would like to just pop into the Restore just to see

    Just checked out the sams club website at the Seville brand cabinets. Those might be worth a look, price didn’t seem terrible .

    Yeah I hear you on that. I also like the look of the New Age cabinets but damn they are expensive just for something to hold some spray paint and chemicals lol

    Best 'bang for the buck' garage cabinets you can buy at the store?

    Thanks for the replies. I do have a Restore building about 10 minutes away so I I’ll probably stop in there and see if they have anything before paying full price for something else. Also have all the major stores within 15 minute drive so lots of options. Lowe’s, menards, Home Depot, HF, sams...

    Best 'bang for the buck' garage cabinets you can buy at the store?

    Thanks for the replies so far guys, I’m taking mental notes. I do still have my eyes open on Craigslist and for giveaway type cabinets but not seeing much. Chances of that are slim to none that’s why I was looking for store bought cabinets. Probably should just go into the stores and see if they...
