Has anyone ever taken apart an ice box door? Circa late '50's?  2018-01-12_03-29-46 by Corvett crzy, on Flickr There is a raised panel on the inside with nails in the corners. Thinking there is wood inside? I've got an idea but don't want to tear it apart if it's not going to work. |

The usually have some sort of insulation. My Corvette had dark grey pressed pads, not sure what was in them...

Mine had a wood perimeter frame with some extra blocking at the latch. The center was insulated and not very well.

Hamlet ‘s also has the nails. I didn’t take them out when we did our rebuild, but I suspect there’s little insulation as well. Is there a way to get the front off so I can beef up the insulation inside?

Mine was a refrigerator from 63, but it had a very small amount of fiberglass insulation.

I have a Ward/Sons icebox, early 60s. I disassembled the door by drilling out rivets that were behind the seal after folding it back. Inside was a wood frame with a piece of fiberglass insulation.
My plan was to paint it and reinsulate it with foam. Built a new wood frame and replaced rivets with screws.
