65 Mustang Cooler Box

admin

I teach Autobody in a high school.  We got the opportunity to show off some of our work at another high school.  They are putting in a new serving line and it will have an automotive theme to it.We are building a cooler box for mil and juice boxes.  It will have a complete 65 Mustang front end, complete with a bumper and hood.  You will reach in under the hood to pull your drinks out.  We cut about 12-14 inches off the back of the fender.  We then took the fender re-enforcement piece that we cut off and welded it back on to the fender after we did some modifications to make it fit.We will also hang some of our hoods on the walls behind the serving line.I will add more pictures of the mustang as we go along.  I have a bunch at school I need to send home.  The artwork is all SKillsUSA projects done for student competitions by the students.Last edited by Crabo; 12-31-2012 at 06:56 PM.

Reply:Here's an update. To make a long story short, we started with a refrigerated cold box, a pile of steel and a pile of 65 mustang parts.  We built the car around the cold box.  It is going in the cafeteria in another high school.  It will hold milk and juice boxes.Here's the space.We painted the hood on the back wall.Here's what they will see as they walk up.A hot rod has to have a chrome air cleaner.Here's one of my main helpers leaning in.We did a lot of work on this.  The students shortened the back of the fenders taking about 15" off.  I am really proud of the work they are doing.  We are almost ready to take it apart and finish painting it.
Reply:We finished it and got it put in place.The kids at the school think it is pretty cool and think we should build one at our school.

Reply:Very cool project. Well done.But I have to ask, is there someone out there that is pissed off that half of their 65 Mustang is missing? You can tell me. I promise I won't tell. kidtigger24  They think I’m crazy, but I know better. It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am MAD!
