Looks like it's coming together nicely Eric. Please post some more pics as it gets closer to completion.

        Nice, is it going to become another master, or a standard or junior?

That's what is sweet about Quikolds, they are all bolted together.. guess they were made to order in some cases..
This certain cooler started out as a master but was pretty rough.. compressor was gone, base was rusted and lids
beat and the back panel dented, the ends were alright and solid with the exception of 2 hole drilled and some hooks
welded onto them... I had all theses parts left over from a 7up junior that I cut the bottom off of for my Nichol Kola,
so I took those left over parts and decided to bolt it all back together as a junior to see what it would look like...
looked awesome... all I needed was a nicer (solid) lid and a base... Had a base made and bought a lid from Rod....
Body work is pretty much done, got to get all the colors and paint lined up, get vinyl masking made and some casters ordered.
If all goes right might be able to have this done in a few weeks... but never know what life will throw at me. But I'm hoping.

In primer now.. going to get the panels from the shop and bolt it all together this week to make sure everything fits and all the holes line
up and ready for paint...
And a photoshop image I did a while back of what it should look like when done...
