Pat,

Looks really nice, I've never seen a slider disassembled to such an extent, it's going to look better than new once finished.

WOW.. looks great Pat,
your a very brave man to completely dissasemble it and try to get ti back together... Did you have to tear all the cooling coils out or did you manage to get it out in one peice?
is it going to be Nebitts?

       Paint and materials are EXPENSIVE!
Who paints that interior that will never be seen?

Super nice project Pat!


Title: Re: Some teaser photo's
Post by: Pat Pixley on January 28, 2008, 01:13:09 am
Well the reason for the interior to be painted is when you have it soda blasted
the whole thing gets blasted ..So in turn that is why it has to be painted.
 
  Bob I have a body shop shot it.

Ok,, Maybe I missed something but was is that little Green light in the compressor area???
Can't wait to see it finished... I have 4 ready to restore... wanna come over and help me get it apart?

Post by: Pat Pixley on January 28, 2008, 11:10:28 am
It's something I've been wanting to try, It just a neon light that's
all.
I've had some friends over who think that it's pretty cool, my
neighbor want this bad for his finished basement when he done
with it.   :smile:
