Title: Dr Pepper Atlas Finished Post by: Funtronics on December 14, 2009, 07:41:02 am Hi Guys:
Finally got my Dr Pepper Atlas done. You would think that a cooler would be simple, but this on took a little more work than I thought. Had to make a new tub, and had to find a original Dr Pepper sign for the front. Chrome corner caps were pinged up pretty good and took some time to get them all out and buff them out. The lids outer edge was rusted really bad and had to have a new band of steel wrapped around the edge and then rework them. The cap catcher was missing, so I had to build a new one. The end result came out great. :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Dr Pepper Atlas Finished Post by: mznb1u on December 14, 2009, 07:54:20 am Good looking cooler! Nice job!

I like the contrasting colors(red/white) with the clock logos Title: Re: Dr Pepper Atlas Finished Post by: Funtronics on December 14, 2009, 01:25:24 pm I can't take credit for the color scheme. I got that idea from the one that Jeff W has in his collection. He has a lot of great looking machines that are done up in some great color schemes.
