Nice machine! New paint scheme looks good.
Remember - just as with any refrigerator of freezer, most of the heat escapes from the top. You should elevate whatever you are putting on top of it by using a platform. I use two 2x2's cut to depth and a rectangular 1/4" piece of plywood on top to stack my stuff on. This allows air to flow under the stuff.

I think some simulated wood grain panelss on the truck could coordinate with the machine, you can take the Cav to shows and make  a little change sellliing sodas from it  parked next to your Chevy =)

My USS is off to the painter this afternoon.  Mine will be a cross of the one you showed just above my post and the one Josh created.

Can't wait!!   Painter takes his time but it'll be worth it.  Will post when done.  (Probably May I'm guessing)

SIMULATED WOODGRAIN PANALS WERE AN OPTION ON THE 1970'S C-10 PICK-UPS. THE WOOD GRAIN PANELS WERE ON THE GLOVE BOX AND DOOR PANELS. AND YES, THEY ARE SO 70'S ish.

Looks like a smaller version of my new toy.  I just picked up a uss-96 no wood grain.  I actually like that it can vend bottles or cans.  now to get it rewired.

USS64K I would love to see pictures when you get done with the new paint job. I have been spraying some of the shelves with grey hammertone and they are turning out great. I have a hard time wanting to tear her apart to do a full resto as it works so great at keeping my beverages cold. But I think soon I will be doing just that so i can get that older look with my machine.
