Look what I found today

Hi folks,

just visited my neighbor to have a look on a crack in his house (I’m a structural engineer). When leaving, I took a look in his garage and from the edge of my eyes I spied a familiar face:







he bought that thing from a guy who imported it from Australia. It’s made of old oil drums and he’s using it as an ice cooler for beer bottles. I found it awesome and wanted to share it with you. Have a nice weekend!

by the way: all the best to all the Aussies! I hope, you all are save and that they will kill the fire ASAP

That would explain the right hand hinges. There's some pretty serious talent. Very cool!

Makes me wanta build a '56 Panel truck version. Wouldn't it be cool to use non-useable '56 body panels?
