very nice. I have two of those. One older generation and one newer. You’d be appalled to know the one is my shop sink

Wow that looks awesome! Did you strip it down to bare metal?

Yes the whole thing. I media blasted it, used Evercoat filler on the pits (no rust/cancer) and a few deep dents. Blocked, feathered, primer and wet sanded. Shot it with PPG 73504, wet sanded again, and used Graphine Ceramic to finish it off. I wheeled the sliding door, and replated all the caster frames. Only original hardware I couldn’t use were the rivets. However I used stainless rivets. Inside the box on the backend of the slider are three original straps that were in perfect condition. There was NO COST spared for this 65. So asking $700 is a small price for this can. Every drawer was media blasted and shot with the same care as the outside. Each drawer has padded, molded liners. The lock is brand new with a set of Flank Drive PLUS keys. I put out about 5 boxes a year, most of which are pre-1970. I have a 1929 that I’ll post later.
