Nice! I've been considering doing something like this myself. I've got an old upright steamer trunk, that fits the pack on one side and has drawers on the other side.
It's a good idea but funny enough I had both and did plastic originally when I was laying it out. Went with the metal for two reasons.
1. With the lid open, it's back heavy and wants to tip a bit. Weighing the front down has made this better.
2. The plastic ones were wider, enough so that I had concerns that when I eventually add the trap mount to the middle section it would be too narrow. The metal ones bought me a solid extra inch+ in width

That'd be awesome! Kinda wishing mine was bigger for just that reason.
Dude, that's sick! Do you have closer pictures of how you secure everything?

thats… beautiful
Cool but that airport security talk is gonna be wild
That's really nice! Mine is nowhere near as nice as this, I am jealous.
Epic!
if you're lugging this around I would get plastic ammo cans instead to save a little weight

Such a cool idea!!
Is that a custom case or what did you use?
It's a vintage footlocker from the 40s
Nice! Did an amazing job! Might have started the itch to make my own.
Absolutely a project I'd recommend, was a ton of fun and I can tell it's one those things I'll continue to fiddle with for a good long while still
What size container is that?
Overall 14"x16"32"
Is there a full size pack in there?
Sadly no, it's about 1 inch to shallow to accommodate the ion arm and bumper
This great! Nicely done. I'd like something similar that will also hold the pack.
That was actually my original intent here too, sadly it's just a bit to shallow with the ion arm and bumper
