Title: Pepsi 81
Post by: Marvin on June 18, 2008, 10:21:20 pm
Some of you may remember I posted a pic of my Pepsi project a while back.  I finally got it lettered and moved in the house the other day.  Now I need to buy more product for it.

What's next???  The list is so long....  I don't even know where to start.

I have a Coke 81 at the painter right now and he told me it should be done next week.  I have lots of stuff in the staging lanes.  Just no money to get them going good.  I am thinking the Coke 81 will be for sale when I get it back.  So I can get other projects going.

Looks great Marvin... even though I'm not a Pepsi Drinker, it's still a beutiful machine when all done up like that! Well done... how did you finish the inside?

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I had the insides powdercoated. It looks good, but I am not sure how it will hold up.  I have an extra set of shelves that were zinc plated if I don't like how the painted ones work.  The cooling unit is a new unit from Global.

The machine next to it is a VMC 33 it has been done for about 4 years.  It was in use till I plugged the Pepsi machine in.
