I finally finished assembly of my Hires 55. Dean the body man and painter did an outstanding job on it and makes it really stand out. The powder coating was done by a fellow member and the new parts were purchased from Soda Jerk Works and Funtronics. I restored the condensing unit and did the assembly work and without the work of the previous folks it would not have turned out as nice as it did.
