Building a reverse smoker from a 1940's fridge. I'm going to start by gutting the mechanicals and go from there. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Whats your plans to make it reverse flow?
Going to install sheet metal on interior sides of smoker cabinet creating channels for the smoke to go from the lower smoker box to the top of the smoker cabinet and then exhaust lower in the smoker cabinet.
 
Update. Removed fridge components, painted and added wheels. Mainly so my wife doesn't call it an eyesore and I can move it around as I build.
