I know one Second Amendment Model A guy that keeps a loaded 1930s pistol there.

Click on this link it will take you to Bratton's page where it shows how we mounted this box on Walt's pick up.

That streamlined box of yours looks great. I'm going to see if I can add one to my 32 B |

Hi Clem, I am fine and it appears Lymphoma is behind me. Long time no see. I am still running trains on my O-gauge railroad, and it occasionally makes me think of you (see photo). It's a scene on my railroad. My Coupe has a significant amount of room under the front seat relative to Model A's that is, but my Victoria has no storage room except for some horse blankets behind the rear seat. So that front apron tool box is Godsend!

Re: 1930-31 Front Apron Tool Box
Jim,
I looked on your web site and couldn't find the tool box. And on Mike's A Ford Able, they only list one for the 28-29 models.

Re: 1930-31 Front Apron Tool Box
My box came from Mikes and it was for a 1930. Why don’t you give them a call.

Re: 1930-31 Front Apron Tool Box
Carl G - I looked at my website www.olympicspeedsters.com and it is truly difficult to navigate and needs improvement by one of my sons. However, I found the tool boxes by clicking on "Gallery" then on "Design and Fabrication" then on "Tool boxes". I hope I can get the site much simplified and also somehow add more images from the hundreds of "How-to", "Design and Fabrication", "Procedures", "Completed Projects", etc. photos. If anyone has suggestions for simplification and improvements for my website, please let me know. Thanks.

Re: 1930-31 Front Apron Tool Box
Synchro99- If you put a 3/4" drip lip on the bottom side of the lid, surrounding the box, but not visible when the lid is closed, the rain will drip off the lip and can't get into the box. Then you won't need to make a cover. You should still drill a couple of 1/8" holes in the lowest part of the box, just in case. Weatherstrip on the top edge of the box won't hurt either.

Re: 1930-31 Front Apron Tool Box
I put weatherstripping around the top of the box, mainly so the top fits tighter when closed. I never drive in the rain so I can not tell you how "water proof" it is.
The only drawback I have found with this tool box is I can open it without the key, simply by pulling the lid toward me while standing in front of my car. |

Jim - just wanted to say "Thank You" - I really like your toolbox, and it was just the thing I needed to carry the spare parts & tools that otherwise were taking up space in the passenger area of my car (stuffed inside toolbags), and a lot cheaper than buying a rack & trunk. |

Re: 1930-31 Front Apron Tool Box
I contacted Mike’s. The 30-31 has been discontinued. The 28-29 will also be discontinued when current stock is exhausted.
