So as this restoration project has progressed, tools have been acquired. A ratchet here, a grinder there, sockets and bits everywhere!Well as far as storage, I had very little to begin with, and my work bench in the house, as well as the shelter where the Willys is located constantly had tools lying everywhere. In fact, the Willys itself was often a tool chest of sorts, holding lots of goodies in the tub.
But that can not go on forever, and more and more tools are making there way towards the project. So a tool box needed to be purchased.
I love vintage stuff, and so when I saw this tool chest combo on craigslist I was thrilled. What would look better beside a 1960 Willys Jeep than a 1960's toolbox! This old Craftsman tool chest has been repainted at least once and is in need for a restoration of it's own. So as soon as the weather gets warmer, I am going to restore this as well. Should not take long, some body work will need to be done, sanding, but for the most part it should be easy. The top box is actually in great shape, the bottom needs some work.
Keep a look out in the Spring, I will post picts as this side project gets underway.
