Was going to ask the same thing about your sign painter.  How did you find him?  Looks like he does a fantastic job.
He is Carl Coates painter and he is an artist to say the least. Carl had showed me some of his other works and he is amazing. Carl is lucky to have him on his restorations.

I agree!
Nice to have photo documentation!
Carl has been great to work with. He keeps me updated with progress photos and will handover a complete restoration file documenting the whole thing as to the authenticity of the machine.

Carl is getting close to re assembly as the majority of the parts are all ready and the cabinet is ready to accept them. From what I see in the photos I am very pleased in how it is coming along.

Assembly has started on the machine. I am really enjoying the updates. Shouldn't be too long from now till machine is ready.

Obviously I'm sure Carl knows what he's doing but where is the new gasket? kinda hard to put that on after the door liner is screwed on?  just a simple observation?

Fun-Tronics sells the proper gasket that is missing and that is needed...

Not picking on his work but I would for sure want the junction box chrome plated to give the compressor area some more shine.
