Title: 7up 56 Prototype / Fantasy Machine Post by: Slapshot42 on March 11, 2017, 03:00:50 pm I started working on this machine late last summer until now . It's been a challenging project but I accumulated the parts slowly from different members.
The idea started after I found a really cheap, local Transitional 56 machine in Craigslist locally . After I found that machine I found a RT 56 local that was missing a lot of the parts I already had. From there I had to locate the transional door with the right cut out and bezel and sold out flags. Here are a few pictures of the progress again this is a fantasy machine . I used my RT 56 Coca Cola as a reference for measuring and creating the 7up decals and art. The Embossed logo was cut out and a solid piece was welded in along with the Vendo logo being cut out and removed . The door was covered in bondo and after sandblasting was a disaster. I've also removed the original cabinet flooring and installed a new shelve for the evaporater. I have a few fixes to complete on the machine and hope to start assembly soon..

like it turned out really nice. I think an all blue rt 56 Pepsi would be awesome to do too... use the embossing off a 33D Title: Re: 7up 56 Prototype / Fantasy Machine Post by: Slapshot42 on March 11, 2017, 11:35:33 pm Awesome project..

I think an all blue rt 56 Pepsi would be awesome to do too... use the embossing off a 33D With the condition of the main door it made the best door to be cutting Title: Re: 7up 56 Prototype / Fantasy Machine Post by: Slapshot42 on June 13, 2017, 12:50:28 pm Here is a close up of the door .

Title: Re: 7up 56 Prototype / Fantasy Machine Post by: Slapshot42 on August 06, 2017, 02:07:22 pm A few updated pictures . Was finally able to see the original one and realized the side art was much bigger . I wanted to make this as close as possible. Many may not like the larger decals but I think it comes down to each individuals preference.
It's been quite a challenge and expensive re sizing art and printing several runs of decals to get it just right like the original . Title: Re: 7up 56 Prototype / Fantasy Machine Post by: Zerbie on August 06, 2017, 05:21:50 pm Nice looking machine! You did a great job!
