Looks nice…and I have a white Alpine…hmmmmThank you for the great idea. Mine was easy, I bought a white Coors cooler and scraped off the decal and added edge molding.
Yeah I can see that now. I thought the new cooler on the website had that bottom trim but it turns out it was a shadow.Tod, the edge molding appears to be the robber bit along the bottom edge. These coolers tend to get a bit banged up on the bottom edges since it's just steel all the way down. As it happens, I have one of these original Coca-Cola coolers... when I was a kid we used it as a family on our annual trips to Tennessee to visit family. Still in pretty good shape, but with a few rusty bits in places.
On another note, if you ever get down to Tennessee, let me know I’d like to meet up!
Ordered it about an hour agoThis is the one I found, I got mine on ebay. The decal comes right off. https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Vinta...t=&hvlocphy=9031717&hvtargid=pla-546406893567
Hey...got my cooler in and it's this weekend's mini-project...gonna be too cold here to be comfortably out in the garage.Thank you for the great idea. Mine was easy, I bought a white Coors cooler and scraped off the decal and added edge molding.
I know you were talking to the other guys, as I am in process, but when I did a similar project with a vintage style, hip roof toolbox, I removed the pins…actually one was already broken off…and glued.Another tempting project to add to the list ... For attaching the Alpine script, did you remove the pins?

I was thinking about looking for my old Alpine scripts that the chrome is old and powder coating them gloss black and install them on my stainless steel toolboxes.Another tempting project to add to the list ... For attaching the Alpine script, did you remove the pins?
