Slot Car Pit Boxes (Page 2 of 2)

I finished applying the clear coat to my latest Ebay box.

It doesn't look any different but, it is sealed now so the exterior won't regrade further.

I don't remember exactly where I picked this box up. The lid had a silver plate (probably from a race event somewhere) that just happened to say Checkered Flag Raceway. It also had an original Hoffman sticker still in place, and some other damaged stickers. I replaced the damaged Redline Racing Lubricants with a reproduction one and added a vintage "Hobby World" sticker as a tribute to my buddy Dave Smith. The front fold down door retains its original hand lettered "Slot Cars Unlimited", and I added a Rat Fink repro sticker and an MRRC repro sticker, both purchased off Ebay.

This small box was an Ebay purchase I had made a number of years ago. It was pretty badly damaged in shipping, but I repaired it to the point of it being useable. I did not do much in the way of the cosmetics, I just cleared coated it leaving the "battle" scars.  Being so small and with how the shelves and drawers were arranged inside it was not much use as a 1/24 racing box until
.....Steven and his neighbor came up with this really cool idea for an attachment for race boxes that would house your controller. Well, I had to have one and Steven was nice enough to hook me up (thanks again Steven!)! I attached the controller trunk to the backside of this little box. It fit perfectly! It is hinged on one end and has a magnetic latch on the opposite end. It works perfectly for this box!
