V8muscle...Neither of us is "vintage" we're just considered "old farts"

I have a Kennedy Tool Box that was my father's last box at work before he passed. It been disassembled for a couple years and I have root beer brown candy paint and a silver flake base to go down as a base. I just need to find some time to tackle the project.

Awesome box!!!
