I have  customer wanting me to do a Fantasy Machine out of a Vendo 56 RT for him.  We are researching what logos of what coolers / signs would fit in the area once we cut out the Coca-Cola logo on the V56.. the current machine has a big dent in the logo area arlready and would be a nightmare to try to straighten it so figured make a fantasy machines.. he's thinking Pepsi but not sure what embossed logo would work? I'm thinking out of a large Picnic cooler? or other suggestions?

         Seems there would be a problem welding the thin metal logo from a picnic cooler onto the thicker machine.
The double dot Pepsi logo is smaller on 55 sliders, and it since they are plentiful they should be cheap enough.

I think the embossing from the small RT Pepsi 33 would fit.. would love to do a all Blue Pepsi 56
or if not embossing would one of those 81 Dr Pepper signs fit there?

same thought here, thought would be to mount the thinner embossed metal to another sheet giving it some thickness and then mountain that .. I am not the body guy, by body guy does great work and will make it look awesome.. plus it's for him anyway... so I know he'll do a good job!

Maybe hard to find but how about the 7up embossing from a square top 56 along the lower front door.. would that fit along the top of the RT 56..
Still think the Pepsi from a RT 33 would be perfect .. even has the DRINK as the same as a Pepsi 81

If you could manage to get a RC COLA embossing, I think it would look awesome as a little brother to the 81.

Plus, when we all die, there will be a forum out there claiming that these 56 RT RC machines were legit, and we would all be looking down laughing  laugh
