    I have a few old ones, but collecting new stuff seems bizarre to me

    How do they get old if they never have a chance to live a normal life?

    Cars are made to be driven...
    Guitars are to be played...
    and toolboxes are to hold tools and be used...

    This is a traditional hot rod message board, we talk about old stuff....sorry!

    Your boxes are nice, they just aren't what we discuss here. Chaz's box is a bit more on topic.

    I have a tool box that belonged to Tommy Box, a US Border Patrol agent (guess he's famous with the USBP guys) way back. (30s,40s?)

    I guess I should just thank you for pulling up the cover on the Rat Fink box to take a pic for us. NOT.

    Alot of newbies have been coppin' mucho at***ude. Oh well we all gotta be ****s sometime.:D Collecting boxes is cool I guess. But who has the room? I like to p*** mine on to anyone who can use it when I get a new one. Those boxes cost too much to just sit around. They're like having a car with a 10k paint job: you're too scared they're gonna' get scratched.:eek: -stick
     
  15. WOW!:eek: Is right.
     
  16. I like a nice box for my tool. Who doesn't? :D;)

    I recall stepping on my **** when I first posted a few years ago but I wasn't stupid enough to talk **** about a rulers fabrication skills.

    I tried in vain to PM a few words of wisdom to MADMILLER the very same thoughts an old HAMB member p***ed on to me when I first joined

    "look at it like you just walked into a strangers garage filled with a group of guys who know and trust each other, as an unknown with no reputation, hang out and listen awhile, get a feel for the direction of the conversation"

    I asked him to consider if his dads group of dragracers and the group he runs with is impressed with shiney toolboxes. and I got this response

    .

    Think of it this way

    You are a brand new nobody, who walked into this semi-private garage to show off a couple of new rollers, when one of the veteran members doesn't fall all over the rat fink box you bought and you call him out. Thats a punk move. Try showing us what you've built with the tools in your shiney box instead of mouthing off about the quality of another members build. Or just go away none of us give a really give a **** and mouthy punks generally contribute very little, no big loss.

    to who you are to get into this convo ,i dont have to prove nothing to you or anyone, my talents have spoken without this board ,how am i wrong to defend myself,am i just supposed to lay down and **** **** sorry to hurt your feelings.

    this is how it really was said

    I'm guilty of paying enough every month in tools and tool box that I coulda bought a new car by now:eek: ! Have a large Snap On roll cab (about 6.5ft long) covered in Realtree Camo Wrap ($600 worth) but this box is used and makes as much as I pay for it, or else why have it. I also have a Kobalt Cabinet and chest that gets used for all my grungy stuff and ******** work at home. Scratched, dented, dropped, and stickered up but its got character.

    personally i have always wanted one of those big snap-on roll cabs.i have just never been able to justify a tool box that cost more than all my cars combined.so i am stuck with crusty old craftsman .but i can still wish .
