Well, my Texas buddy, let me know the next time you run across one of those easy deals. I`ve been searching for 2 months on CL and elsewhere. Maybe at Mullins next weekend.

eaglerunner88 Posted March 31, 2013 Share #29 Posted March 31, 2013 Great job on the build. I`ve been tempted to build one myself. I have a `62 vintage locker that is identical to the ww2 ones thatI have repainted the outside of to a more respectable ww2 color and then cut out my own stencil. I hate to repaint the inside and cover the orginal `62 stamps, though. I`m just about ready to show the top tray, I just lack a good ww2 soap dish and some pin ups. You wouldn`t happen to know a source for a good plastic soap dish? I keep watchin Ebay but " no soap" yet. Thanks these are the specs my grandpa used if you want to give ita shot: http://www.hardscrab...ocker_crate.pdf As for soap dishes did you see this? http://www.ebay.com/...=item2ec735c52d And I found the easiest way to get pin-ups is to buy an old beat up cheap YANK magazine and tear out the pin-up so she can be seen Link to post Share on other sites
