i agree you can make a planter  out of it--or cut it up and get a wagon frame and make a swap meet wagon drop the wagon all the way down rat rod style

What could you possibly need/salvage off this cooler...?   :upside:

       The lid handles are steel. They can be chrome plated and look great on Cavalier 72 bottle doors. The rest goes to recycle (if they will take it)

        Well looks like Tom is high bidder, and for $2K I will drive it the 500 miles to his house this weekend. :biggrin:

Sorry Glen - unlike eBay, I don't think this is a 'binding' contract and upon closer inspection it is not the model I thought it was (Victor Cooler Grill)  :biggrin:
But I'm glad I won!
