Wife said I had to get a new tool box for prep for moving as my old craftsman boxes are pretty tired.. Researched a ton and found the US General to be one of the best values out there.. Yes I know it is made in China.. I can tell you I worl with snap on boxes every day at work and these are built on par with them.. Attached Image

Good to know. I looked at those very briefly last time I was in HF and thought they looked amazingly good. I walked away pretty quickly though so I didn't wind up spending money.

I’d still using the silver and red Craftsman box my dad bought me in the 60s. Nostalgia causes one to not throw old tools away, just add more to your collection!

A few update pictures.. Hung doors and rough alignment, put door handles and associated parts so the door can stay shut.. Bought and installed the inner door seals from 914rubber and little did I know that when you order them its for a set of doors not just one so I have a brand new set extra.. Put sound deadening in the doors and that really keeps things quiet. I will eventually find new solid and rust free doors.. These were really bad if you reread my thread you will see how bad they were.. Wet sanded a few sagging spots in the clear. Attached Image Attached Image

Ben....you're a trouble maker with those tool boxes.
I have to have a set now. Ha

Your car and especially the color looks great, killer.

Your 1-5/8" SS heat changers that I bought from you really put out impressive heat/defrost and make nice power. My 2.7 dynoed at 230hp.

Fun to watch your build and skills.

The tool boxes are impressive for the money aren't they?..

230hp is really impressive..

Looking good, keep 914-6 badge.

FYI...finally got cold enough to test out your header/heat exchangers. Lots of heat coming out, thank you. I called James a Patrick and told him to quit using those useless BB systems.

Ben's headers/heat exchangers are the proper length for a 911 engine. There's a reason why Porsche did all the bends. None of the other 914-6 heat exchangers are equal length or the correct length. And the heat works like factory.

My buddy has two in commercial use settings and 5 years later the things still function like new. We're convinced they are the highest quality thing HF makes. Jealous! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
