My CL Find - Upgrade my bottom

[netcaretaker]

I have been reading this site for sometime and thought it was time I joined in and had some fun. I have a very old 1967 KRA-300B that I bought used in 1981 (man I am old) and I was like the newer boxes with larger deeper drawers. So this weekend I found a Ford Motor racing KRL756 on CL for $400 and drove 2 hours to see and and bought it. No one wanted it because it had the crazy Red/Pink chrome edges, but I used some Greased Lightening and my polisher and ****, looks a bit better, just have the sides left to do.

Before and After below, I am so much more room I have to buy more tools

Sometimes less is more. Good job that box looks great now.

Very nice. You can not go wrong for $400, the condition of the box is prestine.

That is awesome. Nice score.

Ya, it still needs some clean up, but it is very clean. I could not figure out why there was a snap on sticker on the bottom drawer when I got it, and when I pulled it off I found a very small dent you can not even seen in the pictures

Thanks!

Yes, my wife who is very understanding, told me that I should stop looking at tool boxes now and get rid of my old one. And honestly, I have no idea what the hell is it worth it is so old, I just might keep it around......
