Fridge-to-toobox kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Putter · 03-07-2008, 07:20 PM

Somewhere I once saw a kit that makes your full sized "top/bottom" fridge look like a commercial sized SnapOn or Craftsman red toolbox. It was basically the required red paint, emblems, and strips to simulate the drawer-pull edging. Now I can't find it anywhere on the net. I have the fridge for the garage, but wanted to make it appear tool-box-ish.
Anyone have a link, or even photos?

If I can find it, I will do two, because I also store the upright freezer out in the garage, too.
Nothing like having the cold drinks and fudge pops close by while you weld in some patch panels!!!!

Wow man, good luck. I looked for quite a while & could only find this page: http://www.streetchopperweb.com/tech...xes/index.html
Showing what it looks like. Can't find them for sale though.

Putter · 03-07-2008, 08:23 PM

That's the one. A little red paint and some black plastic panel from Hobby Lobby, some stick on chrome trim from Autozone's "Tuner" isle, and it will look just like that.

Thanks,
ERIC

I have one somewhere , WHEN I find it I will snap some pics .
I remember thinking it would be easy to duplicate.

Google "too cool kits" , about the 4th entry down is Red Ball Product Development, it lists the same address as too cool kits (looked at an old link) in Oregon. There is a phone number there, good luck and let us know if you have any success.

Why would anyone have a Fridge in their shop? What would they keep in it?

Pretty cool, wonder what type of paint that is?

You may have seen the kits at Northern Tool. They carried them up until about a year ago.

NONHOG · 10-15-2015, 05:41 PM
