Well I got the machine mostly back together and the darn thing doesn't cool now. It worked great when I got it home. when you plug it in it only slightly gets colder than room temp it the captube and the evaporator. When you shut it down you can quietly hear a hissing sound. I don't know what happened. I did lay it down to do some painting but I was carefull and it only laid down for a few hours and I did wait a day before plugging it in. Now just trying to figure out how to get the darn thing out.

Did you say a HISSING sound?? The compressor is doing it's job, pumping pressure into the system. Shut it down and the compressed liquid / gas escapes.
You have punctured a line or fractured a fitting. The hissing sound will lead you to the problem spot. Then have it welded and re-charged.

Well it hisses and then stops for a second then hisses again and it continues this over and over. John G has suggested possibly bad valves in the compressor. When I get back from vacation I am going to take it in and have it looked at. It is a shame to spend so much on something worth so little but I have already put so much time into it I feel I have to get it done.

Well I still have work left to do on it but it is coming along quite well. Besides the fact that it doesn't cool it looks great. I had the front decal custom cut for me and I had it done slightly too small. What do you all think. Should I ad something to the front? What should I add?

Well, I think the top look lid looks plain to me. I can't decide on the bottle cap return either. Perhaps some words that say cap return or something. I was honestly trying to picture that back with a wood grain top and bottle cap cather. If it was me, I would have painted the top red too. But I know you got the red/white thing going on for style though.

I agree on the plain top. Since the picture I have pin striped the top in red and I have a red Drink Coca cola vinyl decal on order. I thought about doing the red top but I thought it might look plain. Anyways I covered the top in Vinyl so that it would be more durable and matching colors would be hard. I think once the top has the decals it will look fine. What about the front?

Josh,
I think it looks good!
The front logo is just a tad to small but it works...
How about adding a couple of "bottle in hand" decals for each end...  '>

I like that. Good idea. I ordered white dring Coca Cola decals for the side but I think That might be too much Drink Coca Cola on it.

I wouldn't go over board on decals but that's just me.
It turned out really nice.
Maybe repeat the 3 starburst from the top sign to the cap catcher.....
