If I didn't have so many unfinished projects, and cobwebs and dust balls in the cool stuff fund, I'd seriously consider making a run on the mailbox. I remember that style on almost corner as a kid, redone, with the lettering red on a white background, maybe the the Mr Zip logo, it would look cool in the game room a few feet of the Gas pump. Maybe as a liquor cabinet.. There was also a wall mount unit, I had a plastic wall hanging of one as a kid, that would be just as cool. Title: Re: Jacobs starter kit. Post by: bubba on March 11, 2008, 09:48:20 pm I think thats pretty cool also.. If I had the space (and the money).........................
Title: Re: Jacobs starter kit. Post by: davethebirdman on March 12, 2008, 02:16:35 am I have a mailbox.... A more modern one (1962) powder coated in DP Green... Don't suppose there are many US Mailboxes in UK... Even has collection detaills etc... Title: Re: Jacobs starter kit. Post by: Larry on March 12, 2008, 06:36:21 am They still have this style of mailbox in Chicago. Next to them, usually, is a green mailbox for storing their cart. The green one is the one you want for a cooler. It has the same shape, but it has a front door that opens from top to bottom. The blue mail box only opens from the bottom. Unless you want to use the bottom as a cooler and the top swinging door as a serving tray.
I just thought it was funny when the guy said to use your imagination on a beer cooler. I figured I'd use a little more imagination and make into a Jacobs. Yes, I did see his torture chamber. But I'd rather have the iron maiden. Title: Re: Jacobs starter kit.

there was one at the over priced antique mall (just down the road from my office) for $250 and it was just as nice with a old lock on in all polish up and it looked good. |
