18 Automatic Tool Box

I would put both pieces below and fasten by welding in the screw holes so there are no bolts showing, but that won't be the best for water proofing. I can't see you letter it get wet either though.

That's some nice work in my book................

Thanks, I had a go at disassembling the hinges, in order to find out if I could get the cosmetic parts plated. This was a success in part, as I ruined a couple pieces. I have more on order, with the intent of a more careful and knowledgeable disassembly, this time. I am leaning on the "Both halves above" method as a necessity in order to make the water-proof endeavour more of a simpler approach. Current plan is to cut a piece of flat rubber {with adhesive backing} to surround the toolbox top perimeter area. This should act as a seal against the underside of the cover, when closed. P.S. I have taken the cover to the... are you ready for this? ...chrome plating shop! Yep, chrome cover and hinges, but at a cost 6-8 weeks out till complete. Oh well, I'm sure I will find something else to do in the mean time.

Here comes the bling lol.

Bling is right!! How is the tractor coming along??? Did post any pics of it yet here??

Thanks Trouty, no I have no I posted any more pics yet. The tractor isn't coming along very fast, I have just received word from the gentleman doing the custom extended axles, they are done except for the hardening; however, I am not quite progressed far enough along to be able to assemble them when I receive them as I am still working on "page #2" of my Assembly Order List {the tie-rods and drag link and tie-rod ends.

P.S. maybe I will post a sneak peak picture later, if I cam.

Here are a couple of pictures of the tie rods, drag link and tie rod ends. More bling I suppose!

Bring on the bling!
