Title: Dr. Pepper - Frostie - Pepsi -Just finished.
Post by: Funtronics on August 11, 2014, 07:23:49 am
Just finished these three machines. Wasn't really going to do another Frostie, but a friend of mine talked $$$$$$ me into it. The Pepsi machine I put together for a friend because he didn't have time to do it. He probally doesn't want me to mention his name. The Dr.Pepper I loved doing. I have several more odd Dr. Pepper coolers that I look forward to doing.  :happydrinkers:

They look nice.  I like all three.

The real nice thing is that any part you need, you should have at the shop.  Very convienent.  Of course, that is if Janets willing to work with you on the parts and if you play your cards right she may give you the parts at a discount.  :biggrin:

I think she charges me double. I guess I need to be nicer to get a better discount.  :biggrin:

Those all look great!  Frosty machine is a very cool fantasy, and you're right, the Dr. Pepper colors and logos just look great when done right.

Wow I thought only coke and pepsi had deep pockets for embossing and dr pepeper and crush etc were made from generic 81. Very nice work Rod!

Ezra, Even though the Frostie is embossed, it's a fantasy piece, never produced.
