Curtis I know it is going to be a lot of work but it is so going to be worth it when finished. It's allways nice to bring something back from the dead...  Keep up the good work and the pics coming!!!!

       Curtis, those tear down photo's are incredible. I feel intimidated.

       We  can only hope that you and Larry live long enough to complete this massive project you guys started!

Heck.....It's in much better shape than I thought....lol Nothing we can't fix, this is what we do.

A little help out there, looking for:
Cap Catchers 2
One end cap, can make ours work but nice to find one.
Factory Cup Holder...It's the long one
1 Stainless door, had 2 made for the last one I did $$$$
Track to hold down the Stainless banding trim

Thanks guys

My friend had some parts about a year ago when we chatted about what you needed.  He has a few parts left send a PM or call me and I will set you up...

Looks like an easy restoration,, some bondo, paint and some stickers and she'll be good as new!

Looks like a fun project,,, i'm sure it'll be all worth it when the check is written by the new owner!!!

We are in the middle of metal work and just bought a near mint, complete 3 door victor for the one end, some trim, cap catchers, door pieces. This cooler is so nice we hate to part it out but it has everything we need. Will need to cut out the embossed lettering and plate over the compressor opening. We are currently working on 18 full size machines for customers and a dozen or so smalls, so time is tight. Will post photos of the progress in the next few weeks. Thanks for asking.
