Waterloo 6 drawer top box resto.

[USMCdodge]

Thanks for all the info guys. I learned a lot on this project very rewarding to finally finish it. Got this box from an estate sale for $25, it didn't have have an emblem just some snap on stickers. Wasn't sure if I wanted to do anything to it. recently decided to strip it to bare metal and repaint. I used goof off to loosen up the paint and a wire wheel to get the paint off. worked really well but made a huge mess. I sprayed it with sunrise red enamel and ordered a new emblem from waterloo because its nearly impossible to find an older one.

Looks nice, Great score for $25. I had a Williams box that looks exactly like that one.

Wow great job, thats quite a shine on that box. The modern emblem is a good touch, though Im not a big fan of the latest in waterloo.

 

[USMCdodge]

Im not a fan of their newer boxes either.they look a bit too generic.

Great resto on a great box. How long did it all take, do you figure? Too bad Waterloo doesn't sell the old badges..

Definitely. Nice job on the resto.

I used to have a MAC box with that same configuration.

Looks great! Similar (but much nicer) to one I refinished a few months back. What's the date code on yours?

It doesn't have any date codes. The only thing I found stamped on it was on the drawer slides "s" was stamped... I swear i stripped the whole box naked and examined it.

Mine was in the front left corner of the floor of the top, if that makes sense. It was pretty faint, though, and disappeared after wire-wheeling, priming, etc. You can see it at:
