The thing was built around a 2-bay Matco box, with a hutch, work surface, six lockers, and the whole thing sits on a 2"square tube chassis. There's electrical hookup on the front, with retractable cord reels in each wheelwell front and rear, compressed air hookup, and provision for a full-size nitrogen tank that's being used for a tank that fuels a propane torpedo heater. I replaced the rotten work surface with 1/2" ply, then glued some hd vinyl tile to that, and put some trim around it. Also added two 4-light LED light fixtures under the hutch. There was space for my surround-sound receiver, CD player, electrical cords, spray cans, the list goes on. I had a few metal GTO signs laying around, which were put up to cover some of the dents, along with some "Ram Air" emblems. The drawers had been divided with pieces of riveted aluminum, which were modified to suit my needs, and new drawer liners put in. It's a lot of work, but I figure it'll last forever. It's 6'2" tall, 25" deep and 9' long, so things are tight, but if things go well, I may just possibly build my new garage this summer.

Now fellas, it's your turn. Lets see your toolbox or boxes in the garage where you work on your Pontiac. I'm sure there's some wild ones out there; I'd like to see them!

OK, you've got me beaten but not by much...
