Title: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on July 29, 2011, 09:52:03 pm Just thought I would share a few pictures of my Vernor's cooler , there are a few
more things that need to be done to it like the white around the Vernors and few other things have to be painted. Sorry this was taken with my Cell phone and i tried to do this with my cell and it would not go though so I sent the picture to my computer and had to down size it a ton but if you go to my face book page custom soda works you can see a better picture. Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Ltransam on July 29, 2011, 09:53:43 pm Sweet !!! Nice Pat Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Kilroy on July 29, 2011, 09:56:44 pm Wow! I love it, and I'm not a cooler fan!
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: mznb1u on July 29, 2011, 10:36:26 pm Top notch Pat! Of course, I am a Detroiter so I have a soft spot for Vernors! Cooler looks great though!

Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Eric on July 29, 2011, 11:12:39 pm Nice... You doing the lids in green?... Do you have casters for it? I posted under the Double Cola Quikold
the place where I got the little chromed fender style casters. Looks great so far! Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on July 29, 2011, 11:20:00 pm Eric the lids are the same color as the rest of the cooler :smile:
and can you send me that link :biggrin: please. Thank you Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Eric on July 29, 2011, 11:25:39 pm Here it is:
The casters I have are from www.castercity.com chromed covered caster part number # FEH-RD2XF-GR2 with corner brackets that need to be grind/filed down to fit in the inside base corners - part number # MB90 that is what I used on my Nichol Kola... the chrome fender looks are close (better cause they're chrome) to what was used orginally and help dress up the bottom without going over board. Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: oscar on July 30, 2011, 10:07:41 am Nice looking cooler Pat.
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: cokecolaman on July 30, 2011, 12:46:52 pm Not a cooler fan either....but you gotta love the off brand coolers. They look great!
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Kilroy on July 30, 2011, 12:56:40 pm Pat, is that vinyl lettering or painted?
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Slider-Bob on July 30, 2011, 03:05:16 pm Looks nice Pat! I can't wait for you to restore my Hires Ideal 55!

Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: collecture on August 26, 2011, 10:06:43 pm So - Is the burly Vernor's guy painted on or is it a decal? I notice it was not in the first set of pics and you mentioned a few more things for the painter.
Either way, very nice job! Love the colors! Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on August 26, 2011, 10:13:44 pm : the Vernor's gnome is all hand painted , decide not to go around the lettering. Yes it is all Hand Painted :smile:. Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Jim on August 27, 2011, 06:14:04 am Looks great Pat ! ! !
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: mznb1u on August 27, 2011, 07:37:06 am Great work as usual Pat! Your painter did a great job on "Woody"! The classic gnome is my favorite.
Can't wait to see the completed product. :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Wojcik on August 27, 2011, 08:29:35 am Looks GREAT!!! :smile:
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on September 22, 2011, 10:11:30 pm Just posting a update my S&S 1400 Vernor's cooler is done new tank , had a problem finding the right gasket Thanks to Janet for sending the quickold gasket out so quick it just was not what was needed , I did end up just buy some long rubber gasket material to make what I needed it was the upside down L shape.
Well here is the cooler . I've listed it for sale and it is going into a antique mall tomorrow . Can't keep them all found a machine I may want to get ( we will see if the price is right) 8) Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: collecture on September 22, 2011, 10:22:40 pm Is that the cooler that was in Ohio (northern - by Lake Erie) that I pointed out to you Pat? I think it was you that got it?
Regardless - It looks great! I really like that yellow green combination. Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on September 22, 2011, 10:32:57 pm Yes it was, good memory Tom it sure has come a long way.
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: cokecolaman on September 22, 2011, 10:44:57 pm Nice job! It looks outstanding!
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: briandr1 on September 22, 2011, 10:49:47 pm Great work the paint looks like a show quality job for a 34 ford. did you wet sand the finish smooth then buff and clear. Its awesome.
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: mznb1u on September 23, 2011, 06:40:05 am Looks great Pat! What antiques mall are you putting it in?
:drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: rayg on September 23, 2011, 09:26:04 pm Sweet Pat! Gotta love the Vernor's, outshines any Coke cooler.... it's unique!
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: David D on September 23, 2011, 09:55:39 pm Pat, it does look great, the paint looks perfect.
Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on September 23, 2011, 10:31:47 pm it was wet sanded down then cleared the Vernor's gnome was painted with one shot and that was not cleared over my painter
was not to keen on clearing over that. Tim there is a antique mall in Williamston I'm working with he is doing a man cave room and wants cool stuff in there, goes in there Monday morning. plus we worked out a deal on what his take isgoing to be. Title: Re: Just sharing a few pictures Post by: RC kid on September 28, 2011, 08:20:19 pm Wow! Great looking restoration.
