Plastic toolbox modifications

[MR2FC]

Morning all,

I have a Tstak set-up used for model car racing, but would like to modify the lowest box to be front-opening in some way.

Any ideas gratefully received, I'm thinking about cutting/hinges/adhesives, whether to aim for a hinged flap or a drawer arrangement, literally any experiences you have had doing this kind of thing, or even third hand experiences?

Thanks in advance!

This is what I'm working with...

I've cut the guts out of a few plastic boxes and used an oscillating tool.

...and I get to buy a new tool, bonus!

Thanks, any more for any more?

Get a pelican case. They are available in a ton of sizes and not crazy expensive.

You can get a deck hatch (used in boats) in a number of sizes. Comes with a mounting flange and hinged door.

I like the way tstak stands up and takes up very little floor space, not sure the Peli cases work like that?

This could be the answer, will have a measure up. Cheers!

Working on the possibility of opening up the front of the trolley box so either a deep tstak box or the tstak tote slides in and out.
I'll lose a bit of internal space, but I think the convenience will be worth it

Don't laugh...

...needs tidying

Won't let me post a video, but that might be for the best!

Fortunately I was gifted a small Bosch multi tool the day before I started, fantastic!
