Blue Point Tool Box -- Repaired and filled

I had taken the drawers out (required bending some metal tabs at both side of each drawer).  The bottom of the box was pretty bent up (about 1/2" in the middle!).  Used some hammer and dolly work to bend it back pretty close to straight.  Also took a bend/dent out of the top opening of the box to make the lid close better (nearly perfect after).  Then, everything was cleaned.  Turned out pretty good. 




There were a couple of sharp dents in the back of the box (can kind of see the the white area). Hammered these dents out also.
Started filling up the box with tools and other junk.  The pictures that follow below show the progression of adding more & more stuff...
