Title: Levels of restoration quality Post by: CoolCat on July 29, 2012, 08:16:38 pm I am beginning to make plans to restore my Glasco Slider and was wondering what features you consider necessary for a restoration to be considered "top" quality, second tier quality, etc. In particular, what is the best quality option for refinishing the bottle rack, and what is the bet option for the tub?

The rest is body and paint. Have fun! :biggrin: Title: Re: Levels of restoration quality Post by: johnieG on July 29, 2012, 09:32:55 pm New casters too! (or add them if it's not equipped) and don't forget the lid-stop rubber bumpers

Won't be cheap but it will look great. Just remember, top quality cost more which is no big deal if you are doing it for yourself. If you are doing it to flip, you can easily end up with a lot more money into the machine than it will ever sell for so plan accordingly and post pictures so we can all see what you are up to! :biggrin:
