Title: Back from painters
Post by: Fire708 on December 05, 2013, 12:11:37 pm
My v56 is back!
After a long break from working on it I finally got off my butt and resumed work. Shell returned home yesterday.
Still have to finish assembling the stack and then start wiring. Have a few more decals to find.
Hoping to be drinking ice cold cokes from this soon!

so you must be selling the machine then? I see.

Actually,
I'm working on redoing three machines, one per son, as Christmas presents once all three are done. This machine is slated for my youngest. When I was deciding what color to have it painted he mentioned he thought it should stay pepsi. I also have a coke v63. Once the 56 is done I plan on using it to keep my soda cold while I redo the 63. Then I need to find a Dr. Pepper or 7up machine for the third son. My final goal is to fill the empty space in the garage with a slider and another 63 and.......

Ahhh very cool.
I reread my post and it sounds as if I was a little cocky, and didn't mean it that way... Very cool that your doing it for your sons.

A Dr. Pepper will be cool as well.
