LRF4N Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 It snowed here 3 times today but still got out to wash 2 cars Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Todays Update . . . . Ok, remember those bits of metal I purchased from yesterday . . well when I was waiting for the shop to open, I got chatting to a nice chap called Brad . . . who does a little bit of welding in his spare time. Dropped round this afternoon and this was the result. . . . Plates drilled and bolts for the new dollies welded in place, plated welded on and some shelf brackets added. Huge thanks to Brad for helping out a putz like myself. Thats what I like about Canada. . . Its like the Zed Shed . . but everywhere P.S I did not take any pics of his "Shop" (thats a garage to you english folk) . . but OMG He has every conceivable tool and piece of equipment, including a car lift Apparently his son has a 240z as well Anyhow, it will be back to sanding, and priming for the next week or so. Thats all for now Quote

glrnet Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Nice work there. Got me thinking about refurbishing my classic snap on road chest. Excellent, another build thread in the making Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Nice work there. Got me thinking about refurbishing my classic snap on road chest. I can highly recommend getting as much as possible sand blasted I will give you spacers and lowering SMD Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 Bit more progress over the last week or so . . . Trolley Frame treated with Red Oxide . . Primed . . . Finished in Gloss Black and the wheels put back on . . . I have started spraying the cover to this with its final coat . . . so we'll see how that turns out More updates maybe in the week Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Ok so a little update After prepping the frame, I started on the cover . . . .... And I have ended up with this . . . . Photo's dont really do it justice, but its a very nice shade of Smurf Put new bolts in to hold it together - job done, looks good to me and pretty pleased with how it turned out. I will be measuring up for two Tread Plate shelves Thats all for now, don't expect any progress for the next week or so, as I am off to sunny San Francisco for a week Next up will be the Tool Box Quote
