Vintage cooler....custom!

[Moter]

Last year I found a Knapp-Monarch Co. "Therm-A-Chest' cooler in the classified`s on the HAMB forums.

Pretty cool little cooler that fit perfect in the trunk of my 32 Ford roadster. The paint was ok..but I wanted a little more out of it..besides keeping beer cold. https://www.pro-touring.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

So I spoke with Darren Wenzel one day and asked if he could pin stripe it..he says sure but it would be a bit cause he was busy. Well...fast forward to last Friday and I am astonished at what he has done! https://www.pro-touring.com/images/smilies/eek.gifhttps://www.pro-touring.com/images/smilies/eek.gif The pictures do not do it justice. I lost count at 8-9 different colors..then gold flake in the clear!!! I am going to enjoy this cooler for many years. If anyone needs any custom paint,striping,sign,air brush work...Darren is THE Man!! He is here in Austin. You can look him up on Facebook. His business name is Gasoline Art.

Anyways...Enjoy.

I'd be afraid to use it. At the very least I would have it chained down.

That is awesome!! Heck, and I thought my old coke cooler with pinstripes was pretty cool! Not any more!!

[Samckitt]

That's cool, great job.

awesome work! (actually a functional work of art!)

I can honestly say that is the most incredible cooler I have ever seen! I would keep it in the house just so I could stare at it!

That had to run in the $600-$1000 range I'm guessing. Pretty spendy on a cooler.
Looks pretty badass tho.
