LBX, I just read this thread from start to finish. It took a while but your stuff is always worth it. I’m super jealous of the SoCal rummage scene. We go to Santa Barbara pretty frequently and my FIL and I always end up on runs to find old stuff for our projects. He finally had enough stuff stashed in his mom’s attic to drive down from Alaska, buy a trailer, fill it, and drive back. I haven’t quite gotten to that point *yet*. I’m really surprised to see the Caddy gone! I remember when that thing got pinstriped. But I feel you on projects feeling like more of a liability than an asset. Congrats on the family growing again! Your kid is super cute.

At first I thought you were going to do the offroad thing and just have plastic door cards, which would 100% not match that car. I bet the vinyl will look good.

I bet a welder could build it back up and then it could be machined perfect again. How much that would cost is a very different question.

LobsterboyX posted:Another neighbor came over and said "hey I rent space from this lady and her husband was in to old ww2 jeeps and tanks and stuff, she gave me this box, you want it?" I am way, way behind on this thread (I’m so sorry, it’s worth reading every single post! Mental note: at page 25), but I just saw the box and had to comment - those totes are awesome, and if you come across any more I’d be very interested in a couple. I kill plastic totes sliding them in and out of vehicles, plus the opaque totes won’t show random tools.

I believe that style is actually an aluminum medical chest, but yes it is surplus. Unfortunately I live way off the beaten path and everyone wants $250 just for the shipping to send me one. At that point I’d rather fly down and meet the legend himself at cruise night. Speaking of the legendary LBX- awesome to read about Pebble Beach!
