         We all know of a lot of these chests turned into trailers or couches but this has got to be the nicest conversion I have ever seen, and doesn't seem to be priced too high considering all the work that must have been involved.

I guess it's a nice looking piece of eye-candy, but I can only imagine what will happen to the paint if the grill section were to be use, the high temperature would destroy the paint at the very least I'd say.

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Pretty neat concept idea!
What if it were powdercoated?? That would hold up I imagine..
How could/would you PC the embossing?

       Hmmmmmm. Maybe powdercoat the box, use high temp insulation and vinyl lettering? The charing of the inside would also be a cleaning nightmare.
       Like Jonnie said, it looks too nice to use as a real BBQ.

THis must be the VERY VERY rare Westinghouse cooler grill Smiley. Yep I would think no matter what you did it would bubble the paint. Especially with Charcoal since it gets so hot inside. It would have been smarter to put in a gas burner and make it propane and the paint would probably survive. Cool idea though.
