Seeing the other post makes me wonder...what have you guys done to your machines and such. Have you transformed it into something wild, useful, useless?

I was going to convert a gas pump to an aquarium but never got around to doing it.

Anybody?

I'm sure someone here has a old issue of the CLUB SODA magazines... but there was a W-12? (bowout Coke Chest) converted to a go-cart. Was nice looking, and
the model standing beside it when the picture was taken wasn't bad either... Pics anyone?... I think my wife threw my copy away...

I used a Westinghouse chest cooler that was gutted for a mobile stand for my Big Green Egg smoker, I use it all the time!

You're never going to score big with details because Dan used fairly heavily screened photos. State of the art for the time I guess.

Issue #20
He incorporated an ice chest " under the hood" for refreshment while driving. It had an 8 hp motor and actually drove.

Ahh yes, I will have to dig out my old issues...I have then going back to when it was called the "Soda Pop Press". laugh

If you think about it there is so much you can do with them.

Although some may frown doing it to any piece... glare

There isn't much else to do with these bow sided coolers. They used to make really cool motorcycle trailers out of them, but I haven't seen one for a while.

Yep.. that's the issue... that cooler is so... cool... I think I have all my issues also... Even when it was called
Soda Pop Press... I think a member here was the dad to the little girl holding the Cherry Smash dispenser on
front of one of the issues... Now they are boxed up somewhere... the want ads were fun to read through...
loved the spot light collections and seeing what folks had collected... You couldn't wait till the next issue...
to see what would be found next. the internet sure changed all that... Thanks for posting! happydrinkers
