Thanks in advance.
Yes, these metal boxes will make a perfect shield because it's all made of steel. But the paint on it act as an isolator, you don't want it to redirect EMP. Only make sure you file it to remove paint and dirt. Then you connect (weld with tin) the wire earth ground to it. Or buried into the ground.

Namaste, Steven
