[mdmead]

Welcome back Larry! Don't be such a stranger!

Would like to see the soda machines.

[Smiliesafari]

Glad to see ya back. I'd like to know the current status of that van with the IRS rear suspension and rack and pinion steering.

[Rebel]

Thanks and miss you guys. Here is the first I did a year or so ago, a Vendo 23 Coke,,Think it was a 1956 machine, Spintop and then the square top 7U I'm about to finish up. The square top is a little rare due to the Peter Max art work on the light up sign. Max did some work for 7UP back in the early 70's.

This shot is after finishing the front but no decals applied yet. Still trying to figure out which to use.

When complete,,this machine will have a green LED strip inside behind drink rack on left behind glass door. The green will light up each selection hole plus all the way to back of rack. Will also have green neon 10" tube under machine that will give a green glow across the floor all the way around machine. LOL Just can't get that custom stuff out of my head.lol Susan tells me I just can't leave anything alone.LOL

not telling ya right now.LOL and thanks for the welcome back Skip. Miss you guys.

Here's a shot after I got the wiring done for 12v neon and 110v LED's Didn't use a flash here so the green neon behind lighted 7up marquee is a little to bright but you can see the green coming out of selection holes and green neon under machine.

I think that soda machine is going to start abducting people soon if you're not careful

How you been? Still running guns? Just same ol same ol here in a lotta ways, not as much as there used to be. My little guy just turned 1 (if that doesn't make you feel old I don't know what will) and has started walking so that's taken up most my time.

Well well,,,,good to hear from you my man. Glad all is well with the little one or almost grown now.lol Know he makes your day. Just remember,,,you never get time back so don't miss anything when it comes to spending time with him. In other words have as few regrets as possible.
Not running guns any longer. When we moved and I applied for new address on my FFL, the ATF came to the house and told me I had a problem. Seems this little town doesn't like guns and added no gun sales from a residence. So zoning shut me down even though most of my sales were through a gun auction site on the net. I wasn't big enough to open store in commercial area and with all going on in the gun area,,I decided to not get involved in legal action.
You take care and will check in with you guys again soon. Thanks for posting and the hello,,appreciate it.

By the way,,,anyone looking for custom decals or stickers,,,,check out http://www.killer-decals.com/index.html

Hey-that link on the decals is pretty cool.Not that I got extra coin for decorations in the shop,but maybe I'll run across a pop machine that needs bringing back.A old Texaco gas pump outside would to address the shop up would be cool too.

If ya can save a machine Gary,,,a good thing.lol Would look cool.


Alan does some great work. He just finished these I got off Ebay but were to small for sides of machine. They were about 4"wide and about 6" tall and Alan enlarged to 10"x9"
