Proto Tool Box -- As Acquired (free at the Buena Park Swap Meet)

It's a little rough but has a nice PROTO plate on it.
Will remove the stickers, take out most of the dents & maybe repaint it  some sort of a texture coat...  (or maybe not paint it at all...)  Will decide when I get to that point.

Hazet 18 & 19 mm open end wrench -- Before & After Cleaning






















After Cleaning








'59 Chevy 2-door hardtop -- at the Buena Park Swap Meet

This is a really nice looking car with super thin pillars (no B-pillar), lots of glass & those cool horizontal tail fins.  Notice the backlite that wraps pretty far up the roof.

Couple of wood handle tools -- Before & After Cleaning







AFTER
Cleaned and refinished the wood handle (using cherry tinted danish oil).

Vaco, Maruto & a fawcet wrench -- Before & After Cleaning




AFTER




This tool has a unique tip that would only fit a certain shaped fastener...





Had not heard of this brand before.  A little search shows that it's a Japanese company.  The tool itself is not marked with the country where it was made.


After cleaning


 New tool.  No need to clean...

Looking down on the south bay beaches (first is Redondo, then Hermosa, Manhattan, the power plant then LAX).
Just on the way up PV Drive East.  Looking down over the Trump golf course...
