18 Automatic Tool Box

I have one cup on a parts tractor, and may try to find another, the tubes apparently will need to be custom made, bent, chromed and flanged. The damaged parts are defiantly unusable, so I may just have some reminders to not go there again. There is a chrome plating shop in Dayton I will try this next time, it's about the same distance away.

Had a go at cutting a section of the left and right side panels from my parts tractor, to be used as welded on extensions for support to the tool box. I am also considering extending the fender supports as well for a bit more support. Received the panels back from the welder but did not take any pics of the cut-off sections prior to sending them out. You can sort of see from the pics, the area that was added on. I failed to instruct the welder to fill in the extra holes as these will not be needed. I still need to sand the color coat and do a final spray on both panels. The rear end cut geometry is necessary due to allowing for clearance of the three point hitch, when in its fully upright position.
