Sorry .. I haven't gotten around to getting the catcher off completly yet... one screw came out like day one the other is beyond I've broken 3 new bits trying to drill out... used my Rotozip to try and grind and hit the catcher so I need to get around to getting my dads dremmil tool and buy a bit small enought not to damage the catcher any further... just have to many house projects/problems and Job surplusing going on to deal with fun stuff right now...
Post a pic of the cooler so far would like to see how you did the decals and lettering...

Alright... went downstairs and bent it out and traced it the best I could... will send out tomorrow....
the gauge of this catcher is light I would say a little heavier than a soup can and the top edge is bent over
and inward for a nice clean edge.... made of stainless.

Thanks much Eric .....Ill post some pics next week (don't have my camera)
  I did not repaint it all white.. the lid is blue (to much white makes it look like a freezer ) im using some decals for the top of the lid and inside .

Still have a lot to do to it yet ...
 Cap catcher hasn't been mounted yet (just there for looks now)...
 Still need a gasket for it and some knick knacks here and there ...
 Found a good copy of the lid chains in my garage ...I tried 4 different ways to do the red embossing on the front just don't have the talent to do it ...im still going to have it done (embossing) and paint the blue part of the cap catcher ...   I did not want to do the lid in white as it makes it look like an old freezer ...

Wow, that looks really sharp!

Are you going to end up paying a sign painter or the like to paint the embossing? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Yes im looking for sign painters in my area ...seems hand lettering is becoming a lost art ...

Just got off the phone with a lady who has been doing freehand and embossed lettering for the last 30 years .
 I emailed her a picture and she called and said she will do it for 25 $..
  Im taking it to her in the morning ...I saw an old cavalier chest that she had hand lettered all the coke logos backs on it.... she is craftsman/person ....
