Great Job, came out really  nice!
Far from finished. Just excited to finally see some paint on it.

Attached is a semi-blurry pic of the underside of a repro V-81 four-tab bezel next to my WD-5 BO opening. The WD-5 has a wider opening and instead of two tabs on each side, it has one on each side and one on top & one on bottom. Fun-Tronics also carries a Cavalier 51/Westinghouse cooler bezel, but it has six tabs. SJW offers the same two.

Thanks for the heads up. Does the bezel fit other than the tab alignment? I'd hate to do it but new tab receivers could be put in the hole to match the part available. The old cut-outs would be covered and nobody would be any the wiser.

I'll start hunting for the correct one. If a new one is not available, I'd prefer a used one and polish it up vs hacking the hole.

It is one model of the bow out chest coolers - Westinghouse and Cavalier made.

....Does the bezel fit other than the tab alignment?.....

My pic above shows the repro 4-tab bezel held flat up against the machine. It barely covers it, but it does. I have never seen the 6-tab variety, but either supplier could help with exact dimensions. The four tabs don't reach, but I'm sure something else could be used to secure it. Liquid Nails maybe??

Here is a pic of mine. It is different and the discerning eye could tell. Is the machine for you or to sell?

I'm thinking this is a keeper. Love my WD-10, it's my workhorse, these chest coolers are so versitile and you are not forced to buy expensive bottles. This is the machine it would displace in the game room if I can bring myself to part with it.
