Re: Toolbox Assy Restored

It has taken me about one year since I started this but no idea of the hours since it was just a parttime project. I had to rebuild everything including all three hinges and patch a crack in the fiberglass box. It was a learning process and I enjoyed it but have two more to restore now. They will go much faster but welding, machining and bodywork skills were all required. I also suggest adding drain holes to the backside of the door below the hinges to drain water that inevitably can get in if you ever take your truck out in the rain or wash it. I'll post more pictures of the process later.
