ok i got the cooler all done except for the drain and im going to cover all the foam with cloth to make it durable as the adult beverages are banging around in there. it is contsructed of 3/4" home insulation foam with 2 layers on the bottom. polyester resin ate up the foam so i went back to west system epoxy for this. I am thinking about just drilling a 1" hole with and a rubber drain plug like my original one was. here are pics of the completed cooler.
This is where i am at with my floor modification. this portion of the floor is not really going to be stood on too much as it is right next to the console. so it will be filled up with plywood and 1.5 oz mat.

any comments are appreciated as always.
