Wow that looks great. It is easy to forget the wiring. I did it in my selectivend 7up. I can't wait to see it done!

Where are you going to get decals?
I have some Dr Pepper Script I made that you could
make decals out of...
Just thought I'd through that out there.
Look'n good!

Pat,

Does it have something to do with wiring? How do I find the color of that machine? I have a Dr Pepper machine I would like to paint as well and your color looks awesome!

Thanks!

Brian

Pat.......you didn't forget to install hinges did you?  :;):


      I do that all the time  :darn:

And the Winner is GLEN  .    Yes I forgot to put the hinges
in , For those that are not familiar with Selectivend's
some have a nut on the back side of that hing  that hold
it all together . So that why it had to come all apart :O   .
And Brian the body shop that I use , they use Sikkens Paint code's the code is  445 A4 green

Hope you enjoyed the photo's
and thanks everyone
  Pat

Ok it was the hinges wasn't it? On my 7up sv I forgot to run the wires from the compressor to the evaporator. They went behind the breaker strips and I had to pull the liner to get it done. Thats what it looked like in the pics. How is the progreass. Any new pics to post?

Pat,

Which decals are you going to use, on the sides...round 10, 2, 4 Dr Pepper or the Golden "V"  Drink Dr Pepper? Who carries these decals?

Looks Great!

Well I've been working on my SV all weekend and
now I'm at a stand still , Just have to wait for the
chrome and the vinyl art work.
Eric I'm going with the big golden  V  on this I really
like that look on some of those machine with it.
 This is what I'm going with on the front and with out the rays on the side.

I'll drop some photo's later tomorrow.

Vendo 56 with the same thing. I also like that look!

Thanks Bud,

Machine looks great, God choise with the "V" logo I think it looks sharp and not as overdone as the 10 2 4.

Pat - what a great looking machine.  Is it a Lacrosse?  I like the V logo also.  It'll really set it apart.

You got me Pat!
At first I thought it might be a pre-cool shelf, but it appears it hangs.
Couldn't be too many places where it could slip over the head of two bolts
and be in need of the cutout at the bottom.
Are you sure it goes with the machine?
Hopefully it wasn't behind the liner!  :darn:

Pat,
very nice looking machine, I like the colors. A nice machine to be proud of.

Can't wait to see when it's finished.

Very nice Pat!! Any chance that part goes around the coin mech? No SV's here so just a guess.
