Hey guys.. Here are a few things I just finished. It is a embossed Coca-Cola Ideal 55 slider. This is the one earlier in the year I posted pictures of that I had a guy just give this to me free. It was really rough when I got it, but was well worth restoring. I had to make a new bottom base for it. Those just screw onto the bottom of the cabinet. I had two of them made and have one left if anyone needs one. They are really nice and are powder coated black. I'm thinking of having more of them made and sell them on our web sight. I just don't know if there would be a big demand for this part?
The bottle rack next to it holds the wooden cases to put your empty bottles in. I had a few of these made, and did some in Pepsi, Orange Crush, and Coke. They are also powder coated.

Everything looks good ! ! !
I like the reproduction base as many of these are rusted!

Looks great as usual Rod! Is it a keeper?

On a similar note and not intending to hijack the thread or anything, but I ran across this Patent file for a slider dispensing mechanism and thought I'd share.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2174712.pdf
Notice it says "Dairy Dispenser". The Instructional decal (from my Barq's 55) that I have also mentions vending milk. Anybody ever seen an Ideal as a dairy vendor?
