Love the Frostie and the Crush.  Those were my two favorite sodas when I was a kid.  In general we did not have soda around the house but when we got to hang out at my dad's drugstore, we could have a pop with lunch.  I always had a Frostie.  The only other time we might get soda at the house was when we were down with strep throat or some other illness.  Those days my request was always Orange Crush.  I would love to have both of those machines.

Great work! happydrinkers

They look awesome Rod. 

Really like the Frostie, but I've wanted a fantasy OC forever.  Congrats.

Rod did say he found a Rare Embossed Quikold Frostie Jr right down near Erics neck of the woods and decided to chop it up..  glare sorry Eric..

He did say in an earlier post he used a tin sign that had the same thickness in metal... which I'm sure was hard to find as well... most tin signs are thin metal..
