Speakers on the sides, car stereo wedged in the middle. It was a well done project. Hook it up to a car battery and play!

Posted: 8/3/2012 8:58:12 PM [Last Edit: 8/3/2012 8:58:54 PM by hootch13] i made some "bug out ammo cans" out of a few. i don't plan on bugging out, but i figured if i ever did have to leave in a hurry there was no way i could snag all my ammo. the result was 4 ammo cans with nearly identical amounts in each can of the common calibers that i might be leaving with: 5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 9mm, .45, .22, and 12ga. not alot mind you, but enough so i had something there's a list in each of the contents also

This is her maiden voyage, but the plan is to use it this fall for shore lunch while fishing. I stripped the can to bare metal, and repainted it inside and out. Looks almost original, and functions great. Just a few charcoal briquettes is more than enough to keep it nice and hot.
