Did I do a good Job?

[Turfbassert]

Snap on tool box I found on CL for $125. I had it acid dipped and powder coated. Trimmed it with some badges and drawer trim. Any one help me find locks for it. One box is a KRA-380 made in 1979 and the other is KRA-59F Made in 1983.

I had a Vespa scooter body acid dipped and painted, and some of the acid seeped out of the seams after painting, and led to some rust spots. I hope your toolbox was completly dried out before powdercoating, so you don't have the problem I did. Looks great!

It's still draining. That's why the pictures were taken with the boxes laying on their side.

Looks good Turfbassert and at $125 you got it at a good price.

A steal at that price, well done.

[creativecars]

Don't ever let it get snow on it or it's a goner.

Can't go wrong with $125 for classic snap-on boxes.

just get new tubular lock from snap-on.

Acid dip-$275
Powder coat-$175
Seems expensive but well worth it and the results were good.

 

[kythri]

I'm assuming that this cost included all of the drawers and what not?

That honestly doesn't seem horrible.

+1 on the new locks. I just ordered a full set so I can change my locks out so I only have one key for everything on my 1988 Snap On boxes.

Can I ask why snow would be a problem? Newbie here
