I've had this machine sitting around for a couple of years now and just started fixing it up. It was pretty rusted inside. I wasn't going to pull the liner untill I was advised to by guys that know better. Under the liner there was a couple holes but I fixed them with fiberglass and por 15. The door is off for sand blasting but the body I'm going to leave as is because I like the scratches and chips. Unless of course it doesn't look right with the door painted. We'll have to see.

Welcome!
Nice little machine!
The Pepsi decals are available from www.sodajerkworks.com if you decide to repaint the cabinet.
You may want to think about installing a lighted sign up top. It really sets the machine off!

That's exactly where I bought light parts, decals, misc parts and got awesome free advice to boot! I would highly recommend them.

You have it down this far  you should repaint the whole thing, you will regret it later.
I learned that from a Vendo 90 that I had years back (funny how those darn Vendo 90
keep coming around tounge)  What ever you do Keep up the good work.

        Now is time to paint the cabinet while it is stripped. You don't have to copy
the red and white theme.......do it all blue like Pat's Lacrosse.
        I'm thinkin the bumper is Oldsmobile?
