GAS CAN TOOL BOX
A WWII gas can converted into a divided tool box in Gulf colours.
THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WRITE-UP
THE STORY & THE BUILD.
I was really lousy at taking progress photos of my projects in the beginning. Case in point is this tool box made out of a WWII gas can. Cleaned thoroughly then filled partially with water to absorb sparks I took my cutting wheel to open it up. I made some basic steel dividers which were riveted together. The inside was treated to some etching primer, then a couple coats of truck bed liner to make it nice and clean and durable. The outside go the classic Gulf Livery that you’ll see in so much of my stuff, including my beloved Volkswagen Super Beetle!
