UPDATE 8/3
------------
Finally got a few friends over and we were able to lift this monster out of my utility trailer.
Here it is... my $2,000 SO 761/791 combo box.
It is VERY clean but could use some black touch-up paint on the trim work.
One question, will I lose much value by de-Mustanging this thing? Under the lid it says that it is 1 out of 5000.
Is it really of any value to a Mustang collector or can I just start using it and rip off the decals without losing anything?
This is what it is replacing! I had run out of room and am so glad for the new SO chest!

A few of you may remember this thread a couple of days ago asking for advice on purchasing a Snappy 761 791 combo for $2,000.
Well... I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. It is a very large chunk of change for a penny pincher like myself but I trust that this will be my box for the next 50 years, God willing.
Now, I was really hoping to show you guys a photo of it set up in my garage, but it's too damn heavy to get out of my trailer so I'm going to have to wait until a couple of friends can help me unload it.
You weren't kidding... these are well made! I could not believe how heavy the boxes were.
For tonight, the SO sleeps on the trailer:
