Also did you fit a drain bung to allow you to wash it out and drain the melted ice out and such?
Hi RAEME, thanks and you have some good ideas, I suspect you are a professional piss head to have that much respect for protecting the beer! I will be popping a bung into it as you suggested, but it would probably only be used to hold ice and drinks for a show....to show off. On the subject of exhaust, if the pipes came out the back, they would track right next to the tub but i want to drop them out behind the rear wheels so i shouldn't have too much heat issues.

With regards to the professional at work, his name is Dennis and he is a career panel beater, now i his 60's. He travels around in his truck, fully tooled up to do custom or difficult repairs and worked at Holden from the mid 60's to the mid 70's. He was telling me a story about being asked to cut a corner mounted tail light into the HQ sedan body, so the Holden engineers could look at it as a design option. This became the HJ sedan tail light, which i reckon is a cool story.

Cheers
