DoogyRev Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 All Tooled up and ready to go The Angle Grinder was a bargain . . . . $25 Bought a couple of wirey attachments for that and the Dremel and some red oxide primer. Next time you hear from me, expect me to have removed most of the skin on my hands and sprayed it all red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is also rather tempting . . . . http://vancouver.en....3622029749.html Could save me a few cans of paint . . . . although cans would still be cheaper than also having to buy a compressor I gave into a moment of temptation when I was offered this kit at a great price Will get its first outing on the Mini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 So today I set about removing the rust and old paint. The angle grinder with wire wheel was not much good at the nooks and cranny's, so the dremel will be out along with the sand paper. Bad light and a numb hand stopped play, four more drawers to go Now you might be wondering why I did not start with the chest itself, well I have shamelessly cheated and sent that to a nice chap down the road call Ron. Ron going to sand blast it for me When I dropped it off he was saying that he had done a few 1940's Snap-On tool chests recently ......... which is exactly like mine, even have the same holes where the chrome logo went If this is an original, should I be painting it "Snap-On" Red? Although I am quite liking the thought of a dark blue or a deep crimson red Thats all for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) You could paint it universal silver and put a Zed badge on it for old times sake I reckon - 1. Go original snap-on red will look mint 2. Go a lovely deep purple Edited February 24, 2013 by spursmaddave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 A mechanic I used to go to had a black snapon toolbox with green lettering graffiti style. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a fake If your going to all this effort may as well make it exciting. It's not exactly a limited edition collectors item that your restoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 So this evening I popped down to Canadian Tire, its only 2 minutes down the road . . a bit like B&Q for you english lot Anyway I got some more wire type attachments for the power tools ready for another weekend of prepping. So instead of a picture of my purchases, I though a pic of the car park would be much nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
