Default Car ice chest
Been having a problem with my ice chest tipping over, sliding around so I made one. Went low COG, one inch foam covered in wood. Low enough to open in car.

Before someone says it, it will hold water bottles also. Used beer bottles for size reference.
Inside is epoxy coated, water proof.

Yep, you may have had some thinking you liked to through back a brew or 3 while cruising.

Very nice work.

Nice craftsmanship, and I hope it's water proof, cause the heat in rear, will melt ice quickly, and nothing is worst then warm beer!

Does the ice go on top or under the bottles?

I notice you have it in a forward-facing orientation. I'm assuming, but cannot verify that NOW you have water in it?
