I dunno, with a few bends in it, it stiffens up considerably. Plus if you fill it up with spray foam, it'll be at least as strong as the existing freezer.

I'd need to purchase something to do the bending. What would that be? And what about corners?

That's why further down-thread, I suggested a 2x8 metal stud. Then all you'd have to do is notch the corners so you could bend it into shape by hand and do it all with a single jigsaw blade.

I've no idea how to do that. Also, sheet metal isn't too sturdy. I need to mount taps to it that drunk people can't rip off.

What J said. You'd be surprised how much filling it with spray foam stiffens it.

I believe @fly is familiar with 3rd party stiffening agents.

or,

that's a long slow bend. just do a cut at the corners & bend.

or,

Yeah, but I know @fly has a jigsaw. Not everyone has tin snips.

Make a lid out of the styro, then fiberglas that prick with gel and cloth!!! Bet someone at a boat shop could fabricate that for you cheap - FLorida, land of boats. Kind of like an inboard boat engine cover.

Hey fly I think Mr. Asa has been trying to communicate something to you.

Clearly the only choice is 2” thick metal.

I wonder how many jigsaw blades @fly would go through before giving up on that one.

Actually, it would be a minor miracle if his high grade Chinesium axles in the Hyundai even got a 2x8x12' piece of metal home to begin with.

So he should turn his shitty car into a keezer is what you’re saying?

I doubt the ac would be cold enough.

The taps wouldn't sweat anymore.

I'll need access to the art dept again, should be able to get back there Januaryish at the latest. Meantime we can prep.

Send me dimensions when you get a chance, I've got a couple ideas.
