You were the inspiration behind it.  I really appreciated the photos you sent for guidance.   I think you nailed it so I figured their was no reason to reinvent the wheel.  Bout the only thing I changed was painting the selector knobs red.   Can't remember what logo you went on the side.  I went with the 60's theme,  "Things go better with Coke" since I was born in the mid 60s.

Thanks again Josh for setting the standard for excellence.  I hope I did yours justice,

Mark

That does look good. I agree, post some other pics when you get a chance. If you can put the "before" and "during" pictures up , that would be cool too!  Nice job.

Thanks Guys for the nice comments.


Sat back with a friend yesterday in the garage.  Was  hot / humid out.   Ice cold Coke made the afternoon much more tolerable.    drinking

Thanks Guys!  I lost my before pictures but I had started a thread  when I first purchased the Coke machine.  The thread requested others to post their Cavalier USS 64.   The before picture is there if anyone is interested.  Think I posted it a couple times with my daughters posing with it.
