    Last year I found a Knapp-Monarch Co. "Therm-A-Chest' cooler in the cl***ified`s here. [​IMG]

    Pretty cool little cooler that fit perfect in the trunk of my roadster. The paint was ok..but I wanted a little more out of it..besides keeping beer cold. ;)

    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! :eek::eek: 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!!

    Anyways...Enjoy.
