Craftsman Toolbox Project (Before)

So here are a few picts before I started working on the bottom toolbox.

So far, I have hammer out dents, used some bondo, and have started sanding and priming. Not even close to being done, but getting there.

Wakefield Willys Update 3.0

Not much to say, but there are a few things....

Craftsman Tool Box

Have tried out the hammer dolly set and it works great! Seriously, it straighten up lots of edges and even a few bumps.

The only trouble is that the big dents are inaccessible. No way to fix them, so it seems frustrating to fix a whole lot of little spots only to still have 2 or 3 big dents.

So, as crazy as this seems, I am going to try and use some puddy, and see if that would smooth things out a bit. That will have to wait until warmer temps.

Willys Jeep

Still hunting for a tailgate and a fiberglass front fender. I passed up some good opportunities in the fall, and now I wish I had not. Oh well, what can you do? Just need to keep looking.

Other than that, I have done little. I need to do some removal of rusty screws and bolts, and the fact is I am not looking forward to it. The cold temps are a good excuse to keep putting it off.

Honestly, I am realizing that there is a lot of work you CAN NOT DO when it is cold. And the cold does not motivate. A heated garage would be great right about now.
