Great job John. Many Nelsons in the future will be grateful for the effort you've put forth.
Now that you have those graphics dialed in, it may be a good idea to do up a generic slider shell

Outstanding John,
I wasn't familiar with the story of Ol'Smoothie and read the earlier post. Great cooler to go along with a great story.

Really awesome job! It's always a great thing to create something from the past, especially when it has that much meaning to you and your family.

That is a great story. Nothing better then a cool family history to go with your collecting. Good choice on the color. Nice Job!
