Hey guys,
I've been lurking here for a year or so, but decided to introduce myself. I've been an amateur wrench for over 50 years, cutting my teeth on Briggs and Stratton lawnmovers and helping my Dad with our various vehicles. I was a British car fanatic starting in college, with my magnum opus being the total restoration of a 1974 MGB-GT V-8 (yes they had V-8 ones in the UK!):
I've since graduated to cars of the Axis powers, my daily driver is a 1993 Toyota pickup. Since I never was able to buy one new, I decided to restore it last year to showroom condition...no one ever does that to Toyota trucks it seems, so I built up a brand new engine from OEM Toyota parts, re-did the interior, and got the beast re-painted in the original Forest Green:
So earlier this week in preparation for my retirement and being able to wrench to my heart's content, I ordered a 72" Extreme 18 drawer toolbox. Even though I can finally fit all my tools into it, it will be sad to pass on my vintage, sticker-covered rollaway to the next guy. I just wish I could find some young college guy with automotive dreams and grease under his fingernails to pass it on to:
Cheers,
Paul
