I've got a Park that is really similar to this one. I am using electrolysis to strip the rust and paint off of it. My plan is to strip down to raw metal and then Clear coat it with Rust Oleum Universal clear. I just finished a Kennedy roll around and I used the Rust-Oleum Hammer Black. It looks really good. I call it $30 and some Sweat. When you get down to it there were just a few Tool Box companies and they built boxes for everyone. Waterloo was the builder of Snap-On and they competed with Kennedy. I just posted a video on Hobby Machinist forum telling the history of Kennedy. Thanks for bringing us along.
I watched a few guys restore a few boxes, you did the nicest restoration. You could have used a million different colors, you picked some nice colors & did a super nice job. Nice vintage custom color combination. Keep doing your thing. You’re doing a wonderful job. I’m doing a few Snap On, Mac, Dalton, Craftsman , & Kennedy top & bottom boxes for my own use. I’m trying to keep the patina on the boxes, I’ll spray them with a clear coat.
Ha! I restore these boxes too, glad I'm not the only one. I have a Kennedy (Craftsman) and a Kennedy (S-K) I'm playing with now. Working on the Craftsman now, S-K box is next on the rotation. Generally speaking, I use JB Weld instead of bondo. I just don't let it fully cure before I sand on it. Nice video bro.👍
how did you take the top handle off? And how did you take the latch off? Would be great to understand these steps in more detail. I have an old Kennedy mechanics tool box / cart in dire need of repainting, paint flakes off in huge chunks. looking at your video for guidance. Would really like to see in-process how-tos vs installment status. Thanks for posting! Very nice work!!
That came out great looking! Love the hammer tone on it! I have my dads old one I was going to redo it's in bad shape after a flood lots of surface rust on it. I was debating powder-coating it midnight blue white like what you did but now i see the hammered effect I dunno i like you look a lot. I don't know how to replicate that in powder. Anyway great job you gained a follower!
Wow, that's the best small toolbox restoration I've watched here on RUclips. This toolbox came out a beautiful job, looks brand new!
@@peterironrope thank you 👍

I just drilled out the rivets
Really turned out nice great color combination thanks for sharing your expertise
Thank you and your welcome
Nice work. Looks great! I work at a Hardware store and the Hammertone green is expensive and hard to get.
Thank you!
