Vic Edelbrock Sr.'s tool bench, tool box (Kennedy) and tools (Plvmb)

I point out the Plvmb (pronounced plumb) tools because they are very high quality Los Angeles made from before 1947, after that they had to change the company name to prevent copywrite problems and are now made in the name Proto tools (PROfessional TOols) http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/professional-tools-which-were-plvmb.html 
This display is part of the Edelbrock facility in Torrence, I was there for the annual Revved up For Kids charity car show the Edelbrocks put on every year. Inside the building is Vic's Garage where the cars from the 40+ years of Vic Edelbrock Jr company, publicity, research, and personal cars are on display, and I'll have them posted shortly. One of them is a 1969 440 6 Pack Super Bee Thursday, April 14, 2011

Building the best tool chests possible that can be handed down as a family heirloom, Michael Genovese has improved on the tool chest, and improvised a brilliant drawer handle idea, rocker arms and trunk handles!
He realized that he could use his fine woodworking skills to build himself a rollaway tool chest to store his mechanics tools. That was the start of what is now Wrenchers Tool Chest.
Using only the finest of materials in the construction of these tool chests, each one is custom built by hand. They are stained and sprayed with multiple coats of a satin clear acrylic urethane to give a rich look with a hard finish.
Mulitple sizes and priced accordingly from $800 to $4000, 18" high to 60" highhttp://www.wrencherstoolchest.com/index.php to order

The work of an artist is pretty cool, and a lot of people stopped by to watch, to compliment, and to talk
Now that is a cool signature

In disguise with a fake beard, or a rare two tone?
Wish I'd thought of this!
When was the last time you looked at an 8 track player?
this is not the only twin plug flathead I've come across, the Lattin was another
