Matco Toolbox - Restore?
I will post up a picture later. My father-in-law brought me one of his old Matco toolboxes that is a big ****. It is about 52" long, 40" tall including the wheels, and 30" deep. I was thinking about restoring it because it has some dents and scratched up pretty good. Has anyone done this or am I crazy? I just like to have nice things, but no way I could afford this new. How would you go about doing it?

What do u have to lose if ur getting it for free then fix it up and pai t they way u like think of it as a clean canvas to do what u like with. Aside from cosmetically the ball bearings could probably use some grease and put some new drawer liners and make that thing havE a second life.

If it was a husky,kobalt or Crapsman I woulkd say NO, But a Matco,Snap On, Mac, Or Cornwell would be well worth your time/money..I love my Box and had an autobody shop paint it (Snap On red) and ordered all new aluminum droor guards/pulls from snap on..Looks brand new, and you can literally stand on the droor! I used to have a Matco box, and it was nice! Matco may carry replacement parts for it...Only problem is you are going to have to fill it up with equally as nice tools..
