We can see they are well done! But what is nice to see is the variety of colors in Joey's display ! ! !

Looks better than factory. What do you use for the bottle loading instructions? Is that a decal or ? Just curious because I've never had one before and am not familiar.

Outstanding! I still can't believe you hand lettered the machine!  jawdrop Does it look as good in person as it does in the pictures? And the top is outstanding...Did you say you had it made instead of buying one? If so, how much difference was there? I was thinking about getting a new one and I can't spend a $180 on it...

Top cost $150.00, The lettering is very nice but not perfect. But you have to get down and look at it to find the problems. The loading instructions is a vinyl decal. Its a $2,000 resto not a $4,500 job.

Doubt a 4,500 resto would look any better. Really nice work!!
