For the smell get some abrasive GoJo for your hands and arms, use Chris's method for everywhere else.
Get a fish grip or Boga, pliers, and a decent pair of gloves. That combo plus GoJo will keep you pretty fish smell free. You'll be more put off by the smell of your musty gear after a week of this routine than the fish smell anyways.
Coolers will hold ice for a lot longer than you'd think. Get a nicer cooler that seals up and you would be surprised.
If you are going to keep salty stuff inside a hot (or even cool) car without washing it, it WILL smell. I'd suggest finding a hose or bringing a garden sprayer, otherwise make sure you wash the Rubbermaid bin with soap when you get home, then reuse it. If you are working till 9 PM you are gonna have a tough time drying your gear out in between, so that "smell" is going to be there when you start fishing too, so keep that in mind when you are washing your gear at night... The better you do it at 9 PM the better off you are the next day. Also, if you get any sort of "slime" (bunker, eel, bait fish) on your gear, clean that off before you store it... This is where the garden sprayer comes in VERY handy. That stuff will make your stuff smell in an hour flat and the car will hold that for a week.
Get some of those baking soda disks with the suction cups that they sell for fridges, I did something like you're proposing a few summers ago and those things soaked up more stench than I ever could have imagined. They also sell those little buckets at home depot that absorb humidity for basements, if your stuff ends up steaming your car that might be a good idea.
Again, you'd be surprised at how well a cooler will hold ice.
