Hey Kustombuilder your fridge is cooler that half the cars I have. A piece of work any HAMBer would be glad to grab a beer from.

Don't let any gold chainers see this or we will be forced to endure the high drama of the Boydster Aluma Fridge.

I volunteer to be on the testing team for break in.

This is kinda a goofy *** question, but what's the thermal effeciency like on one of those? Does it even compare to a modern fridge?



Thanks,

That's awesome, you've inspired me to do some more flames on my '54 Chevy. You rule, very nice work indeed.

 

Nice job on the fridge, I was given a working soap bar shaped fridge. But have'nt picked it up yet. This is good inspiration.

 

I call my appliance white, daily driver/parts fetcher "the 'fridge".

The photoshop thievery was a natural. Mike, your fridge still looks cooler than mine.

 

i would imagine it ****S ***!! my buddies had an old 70s fridge in their shop and they said it cost $50 a month JUST to run the fridge.

i thought my welder ****ed the juice!!

4T64RD. thats hillarious. i had to look twice to realise those were my flames...

 

Very cool. Paint's better than on my car!

Have you got any pics of it all screwed back together?

 

it won't be all screwed back together for some time. the inner door is made of moulded plastic and is quite brittle and cracking. i will fix it up with some bondo and then make a new part from fibergl*** using the old part as a mold. then i will paint all the inner pieces a satin silver metallic and have a few stripes applied. then it will go all back together.

just tonight i wet sanded and buffed and polished the door. took close to 3 hours. ofcourse i'm an amature and was being REAL careful. you should see how shiny it is now . i still have to buff out the rest of the fridge body but i hope to have that done thursday.

 

You are NUTS!!!

I love it. Make sure you post pics of it once it's back together again. I'd love to see it.

 

so... will you be cruzn this fridge to BilletProof???

 

Not if Sir Graves figures out where his beer cooler went!!!

 

thats the plan ....

 

So after you get the inside all done, its looking like you need to mount an axle and a tongue to it and take a North American tour with it..... Sandwich, Il.. jot that down. Killer fridge on wheels
