What became of all the bodymans dollies and files that were in that light blue CRAFTSMAN rollaround? Those are almost museum pieces as all the body and fender guys now a days do is change out tinwork and use fillers because the metal is so thin it won't take being 'encouraged'.


They're now nicely restored & in another of my toolboxes :)

The previous ownere must have been a long time, master body man! That's a heck of a set of hammers and picks and odd, 'special job' dollys.
Nice job in cleaning them up-

I've been collecting them for years, carting the vises home is hard work, I can carry a lot of hammers tho :)
Picked up an old Plumb 7oz claw hammer a while back for $2, someone just paid $31.80 for it on Ebay.... There's money in restoring old tools, but I keep most of the ones I drag home. I have 30+ vises, only sold 5.... 40+ hammers, sold 2.

It's had a bit more detailing since that pic was taken.
