So when I saw a member her post a pic of his great Quikold Jr find... I was one pf many who congratulated him on it,  and had a dream that night that I wish that were me making a find like that.
Fast forward a few weeks and that very same cooler is sitting at my shop! (I'll spare you all the details of this hunt, as it basically involved a computer and me sitting on the couch lol)

1refrescofan, I just want to thank you for all your help, and for letting the cooler go to someone who will enjoy it forever, and even pass it down to my kid!
I know pics of the cooler were posted earlier, but now that it's new for me, I just gotta post a few more  smile

I just picked it up yesterday, and since I'm slow at work, I already tore it down and started to work on it.  I'm attaching a few pics of the sides where I cut off the rust of  the  lip and will be welding in a new pc in to support the new base I have to put it.
I'm also having to make a new liner.
Sending it off this week to get acid dipped (free for me as I send off about 50 tons a year for galvanizing... so the guys at the plant do me a solid  smile )

Will post more pics as the progress goes..... this is my first resto that I am EVER undertaking, so I hope I don't screw it up! (seems like this Jr. is easy, as it came apart pretty easy..... I guess I should be carful what I say lol)

Everything it doesn't have Rod carries... the lid, cap catcher and gasket....  Ace hardware carries a handle almost identical to the original if you don't have one....
let me know and I can get the part number for you... also check out quikold.com (the site ld26 built) it has other info for parts and new casters...
Can't wait to see it finished.. best of luck and congrats! happydrinkers
