Cool New Tool Box

So I Built a tool box at my work. Had the outside pieces cut out of 12g steel & the inside pieces are out of 3/16 steel. I have 3 of 4 sides bent out of 1 pc of steel & the lid I have 3 edges bent down to make a lip. over all its 24inx36inx6in.

The toolbox looks pretty good. I like it. How did you fastened it on the rack? Only some screws through it?

For right now its fastened down w/ 1in tap screws that go thru one of the main supports for the rack. plan to run 1/4in bolts later. It was windy as all hell the day I installed it which made keeping the lid open a PITA.
Total cost was $70 w/ all materials and steel and I got it powdercoated for free at work.
