Are you going to have the rear panel logos painted?  I had to have a different pinstriper paint mine.  My guy had a hard time landing the brush on the smaller embossed portion...


The machine actually does have all sides lettered at this point, the earlier photo showed the rear embossing was prior to the pin-strippers magic.

Just some updated pic's of this ongoing project...Thanks to Pat Pixley for giving me a hand setting the liner into the chassis, we used the old cardboard trick to keep the insulation in its place while we shoe-horned the liner back into place.

Also shown is the patch panel I had fabricated to address some typical pin-hole rust that is common to this area just under the evap' housing  [It's amazing what a pizza box & some Bondo will do!  tounge] [Just kidding!]

(see this post...http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,15715.0.html )

the old wooden support members were tossed out in favor of a two-piece Dow pink "250" foam lower insulation to insulate & support the tanks bottom including the original steel bottom liners), along with a thin layer of unfaced R-9 to take up any air-gaps. I used R19 unfaced pink stuff on the sides, held in place by some Scotch brand spay adhesive to hold it against the inner chassis walls while the liner was reinstalled, this went way too easy this time.

Looks good JohnnieG!

I think the hardest thing about that machine was lining up the drain tube back down the bottom metal flooring.  I used 1/2 inch wooden dowel ran it through the bottom and had a spotter down below!   biggrin

When you dropping the compressor in?
