It was the original cooler used in the Marina back in the day. Title: Re: LARGE COKE CHEST COOLER FINISHED Post by: georgescustompaint on April 25, 2014, 02:48:48 pm another..

Title: Re: Large Coke Chest Cooler Finished Post by: georgescustompaint on April 25, 2014, 03:10:31 pm Thanks Guys.
Jim - The stainless is new, but was able to keep the undersides, just painted them. They are fiberglass/plastic... if they where metal I would have powder-coated them.

Nice - my WE-6 lids are pretty well rusted out.Jim - The stainless is new, but was able to keep the undersides, just painted them.

I have always liked the two-tone paint scheme on the bow out chests. It really pops! Title: Re: Large Coke Chest Cooler Finished Post by: HowDueYouDue on April 25, 2014, 06:39:52 pm Great job Shane

Title: Re: Large Coke Chest Cooler Finished Post by: Pixel on April 25, 2014, 09:01:42 pm I see similarly designed coolers fairly regularly on CL, usually rusty and in an overall pretty bad state of disrepair. I think "eh, they're nothing special."
You've changed my mind. Excellent work, it looks sensational! I wish we had an applause smiley. :jawdrop: This jaw-drop smiley will have to do for the moment. Title: Re: Large Coke Chest Cooler Finished Post by: SIGNGUY on April 28, 2014, 10:58:04 am That stainless looks awesome... did you have to create a special form or mold to bend it...
I could see a pretty good market for remaking those stainless lids? Looks great! john Title: Re: Large Coke Chest Cooler Finished Post by: georgescustompaint on April 28, 2014, 11:46:14 am John- The stainless on the lids are skins we had made up. My buddy owns a sheet metal and fabrication shop, I gave him the old lids and he made new skins from them.
After they where made, I polished them. They where actually pretty time consuming, but the end result turned out to be worth the time. Title: Re: Large Coke Chest Cooler Finished Post by: mznb1u on April 28, 2014, 03:14:55 pm Looks great Shane! :happydrinkers:
