Cool project me and my kids made.
 
It really is cool or should I say it cools. My kids and I made this cooler racer. Let me know what you think. Not everyday you can say you see a ice chest with a 6.5 HP motor. :)

How old are your kids? Is the cooler for juice boxes, soda, or beer?

It holds what ever you want. My kids are 2,6,11,13. They helped with different things when I needed another hand. They are pretty proud of it. They picked the color and the number 6 since there are 6 of us in the family.

Here are some pics of the build. I actually built 2 frames. The first one started to bow since I used smaller tubing. I then built the 2nd one with larger tubing and a cleaner design. My welding skills got extremely better from the 1st one as well. It was better welding with the thicker tubing. There is also a video of my neighbor driving the first one some where in the mix of photos.

I have not been able to find one. I guess that there was a company that orignally made the torque convertors but went out of business. I guess the new company that makes them doesn't make the covers. I may be wrong but have not been able to locate one.
