Some of you may remember the basket case Vendo 56 I bought a few months ago on ebay. Heres a few pics of it before the cutting and welding took place.









It was rough but what I feel a hard enough machine to locate worth saving

Heres a few pictures of it taken tonight. I had a friend of mine do the welding, it turned out fairly nice from what it once was. It still doesnt look pretty but coming along.









More than likely the machine will have a new home on Saturday

Nice! I wouldn't have thought that would have ever been of any use! Great job! Nice stitching....Looks like you may have clipped a car or two!  '<img'>

The only cars Ive ever stiched were the ones I cut up for scrap. I part out Camaros, and Firebirds for another hobby. It helps offset costs of soda machines, and my Camaro. The way I look at things is its never to rough to be rebuilt and fixed. Somethings just take more time and love than others. Sometimes its just not worth fixing things as they arent as valuable or scarce as others.

It's a #### of a lot of satisfaction when you can turn one around as God Awful as that one was. Fantastic job! I'd love to see this one when its all said and done!
