Title: Another Project Aggg!!!
Post by: Ltransam on October 18, 2009, 08:57:16 pm


   Hi ,Everyone
                     I guess I'll never finish 1 project before i get another  :tounge:

  I just came back yesterday from picking up another Glasscock Standard (Like I need It ) Really the only reason I bought it was For the White Script Porcelain Signs mounted on it .I'v only seen them in Pictures & I know there hard to find .These were used on Glasscocks from time to time .They would just paint the Hole cooler on site & then screw these over the signs . My thought is there pretty hard to find in good condition do to the fact there only 1/16 thick Very Thin & as you can see in the last picture they Chip easy .

Well I'v Stripped the Entire cooler down to the Frane & When i get time I'll sand blast the Frame & at least Primer it Before I decide what I'm gona Do Next . The Porcelin White Signs Will Be haing On The Wall & Never back on the Cooler .

         Third Time Trying to post this .Even know 1 pic is 98kb & the other is 78kb its saying the post is to Large .So I'm Trying 1 last Time .

I 'I've been working on the cooler a Little . I've Sandblasted it & Straighten Most of the bends in the framing  (Not perfect by any means ) & Had My buddy re-weld 2 supports & a Leg mount Spraypainted it Dark Hunter Green & Polished ALL the Brass Machine screws . I did also complet 10 of the Fiber board Insulation panel behind the signs & have 2 side ones & 3 bottom ones left to finish . I also layed in place 2 of the 4 Original Panel sins dated 1941 for effect .Not sure I'm gonna use them Or a Repo set Yet  .I'll post 1 pic then the other Fingers Crossed !!!
