I finished the frosty machine

[loman4ec]

Well I just finished my version of the frosty machine. I also finished a Vendo 56 Coke today. I deliver both machines in two days. WHat do you all think. This is by far the nicest machine I have ever built. I just wanted to tell everyone about my plesent experience with www.bitw.com and sodadecals.com. They were who made all of the decals for the Frosty machine. They were nice enough to put together a package of vinyl identical to what was used on their machine. It was slightly pricey but everything was top quality and the service couldn't have been better.

I don't know the code but it was Penske yellow. It is the same color that they paint their rental trucks in.

Nice job on both of them. How long did it take you?  Did you use a lot of "new" parts, or did you beautify the originals?

[loman4ec]

I did both machines at the same time and they took about five or six weeks to finish. There are alot more pictures in the photo album section of this site. They are under collections and Josh's collection. I always use a good number of new parts. Coin mechs, signs, wiring, and so on but alot is origional. Thank you for all of the nice feedback.

Wow, that 56 had more rust than my pick-up has!
Did you just sandblast it, or did you also use some rust neutralizer on it?

[loman4ec]

Actually it was rather rust free. It was just painted brown so it looked rather rusty. It was a very solid machine to start from.
