Corona VMC 81

[Pat Pixley]

 just sharing a few pictures you can see more on CSW Face Book Page.
  just finished up today,  had to pick up the JohnieG compressor for it and get that in today then just install the door liner and few other little things .
  
Some of you may have a fit, "how can you do that to a VMC 81?"  it is easy if belongs to a customer and that is what he wants .





And here is the before

Looks great Pat. 

Hey, it's a Generic 81 - it's no different (in my opinion) than any of the other Fantasy 81's folks on this board have done.   If the owner is happy with it, who are we to judge?   

Sure would like to get in on that .10 beer!

I think is is awesome! I just like the yellow on the 81's. Well Done!

Great looking machine.  I actually really liked the original 7up, but  I am sure your customer is thrilled,  awesome job!

Looks like a damn fun machine. Love the palm trees on the side.

I'll admit it... I'm cringing a little....it looks cool but!  Great job with the restoration. And what the customer wants, the customer gets. They want pink with purple poka dots, who am I to judge.

Looks cool.  Great job.

Wow! Looks great all put together now!  I adjusted the compressor compartment picture to show more detail..  

The customer insisted on using the original compressor, so I checked the current draw & pressures & it passed, so it got media blasted & painted separately, the base-plate , condenser coil, & fan bracket received powder coating in semi gloss black, new components from top to bottom, the wiring harness and T-stat and an electronic start-run relay too.  It's all recharged with MO-49 Iceon refrigerant.

Another job well done Pat!

As for the palm trees, I could have done without.. but like others have said... if that's what they want...  
Question though... whats with the 6 raised "buttons" at the top of the machine (above and below the corona)?  Just curious is all.

Awesome! I have an Ideal 55 slated for "PACIFICO". Anyone know where I can get hi res files for PACIFICO? I would be happy to settle on CORONA as well.
