mattcrackers Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Cheers Embs, Hopefully I can get some better photos next time I see the box. Was lucky with the JPS decals I purchased off Ebay that they were the lettering only and no clear parts to the stickers. Even surprised myself with this one as it does look the goods in the flesh.

I Am The Walrus Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Very classy - gold piano hinge too. You should be proud of this Quote A wise man once said...

mattcrackers Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Cheers, yes this one did come up better than expected. I am a little disappointed with the latch, couldn't find one like the others I have used in the polished brass. I will post some more pics when I see the box again, glad the new owner was happy with the result as well. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS41T Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi matt thought I would show you one of your Boxes No 7 I bought from a bloke I painted it myself hope you like I painted all the way over the back as well with the strips, I used Matt black with flat clear Rossko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodSlot Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Excellent boxes Matt and the painting looks superb. I'm eagerly awaiting the promised photos of inside the Ford box, and the outside of the JPS box. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcrackers Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Nice work Rossko, I did see the box in some other photos you had shown, thought to myself that it looked like one of my boxes. Your box is my favourite size, my Gulf box which I use for racing is a little too big. WoodSlot, I'll see the JPS box at tonights racing so hopefully I can take some half decent pics then. I'm pretty sure the Ford box is the same as Rossko's pictured above, the Monster Energy box is probably the only box which is different inside as it holds cars in the doors as well. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Matt, just out of curiosity, what does a box weigh empty? Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

mattcrackers Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi Lynne, Off the top of my head I think they are around 8kg loaded with cars, not the lightest but you only really carry them from home to the car, car to the track.

mattcrackers Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) This is a box I made for Ron at WASCRG a while ago now and he had it painted up for himself by someone who clearly knows what they are doing with an airbrush. No needs for words on this one. Pity my dodgy pics don't do it justice. Absolutely beautiful in the flesh. cheers Matt Edited September 7, 2017 by mattcrackers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 You are right Matt the pictures don't do it justice! It really is awesome and I will have to take some photos of it next race night with the camera. The boxes are certainly a credit to you and that paint job is unbelievable.
