What to do with old A.T.A. flight case - ideas please

[vrinner]

I've got this fairly large (21X16X48) flight case. Interior is gutted. Trying to figure out what to do with it. Thought about maybe putting shelves inside and hang it on the wall but I have plenty of storage already. Anyone have any thoughts on a project to make out of it?

Fill it with cash and bury it in your back yard!

Get some stencils and use them to put some famous rocker or race car drivers name on it. List it on ebay as a road case. Then with the money you get find another case and fill it with the money you got from the first case and burry it in your back yard.

Seriously I would probably use it to store tools. If I wanted to make something out of it you could probably put casters on the bottom and make a coffee table out of it that stores stuff.

Seriously...I like your first idea!

Vintage road case. $1500.00 Purchased from a recent estate sale. Has Jeff Beck stenciled on the sides.

What...too soon?

doll house.

build little drawers into it at the bottom for doll and costume storage.

Give it to a struggling local band who is presently schlepping cables in milk crates.

Seriously: it will be greatly appreciated.

I’ve got 2 very similar to yours and currently use them in the attic for storage. Had them at the deer lease for a few years before that. Great to keep things away from the mice.

It’s been a few months…what did you end up doing with it?

Use it for the booze but stencil
“Do not open, Jimmy Hoffa inside”
On it in large letters

Nice choice! Respect!

I couldn't find any images of a body in a steamer trunk, so there is a gap in the market there.
