Joey , Buddy I like it notice you did a good job.
 I did notice this in the services area.

The cooling system is done in two ways, If your original
unit is still working it will be torn down, sandblasted,
repainted, rewired, new fan motors, and new
thermostat. If its not working it will done in the same
way as above but will have a new compressor and
recharged with R134A

I just checked the whois information for retrovending.com and it looks like Joey owns the domain. I would think he should be able to change where it points and continue to use it.

Joey,

Looks good ! ! !
If you have ANY questions, don't hesitate to send an email my way...
And yes, you can keep the original domain name and have this redirected to your new domain name.

Joey,

Site looks good.  I noticed a few typos:

On the services page:

Restoration
Complete
End Result of a No
Expense sparred
restoration

Should be "spared" not "sparred".

On the About Us page:

Hello my Name is Joey VanMatre, Ive
been buying, selling, and trading old soda
machines for over 8 years now.

"Ive" should be "I've" or even better "I have"--I am not a big fan of contractions!

Also on the About Us page:

As of right now all im dealing
with is the following models Cavalier 51,
72, 96, and Vendo VMC 33, 39, 44, 56,
81, 110

"all im" should be " all that I'm" or even better "all that I am"

Other than that it looks great!  Sorry to put on my Mr. Grammar hat but Sister Mary Norbert pounded these lessons into me with a yard stick back in 5th grade!

Hi Joey
  I think it looks great. One thing that might help you get your name out there would be to become a part of a Webring. You will have to see which ones you could get hooked up to.
  Many Successes

I think Joey wanted the "Redirect" until he gets his business, Retro Vending, up and running; at which time he'll remove the Redirect and have "RetroVending.Com" as the business site.

As for "oldroundtop.com", Joey, you'll need to look into getting the navigation links' RollOver Effect functioning properly. The code from the Parts link is functioning, but the other links do not have this in place.
Code:
<a href="Parts.html" onMouseOver="document.images['i12'].src='sitebuilder/images/navbar-4-mouseOver-51406.png'"
onMouseOut="document.images['i12'].src='sitebuilder/images/navbar-4-inactive-51296.png'">
<img name="i12" src="sitebuilder/images/navbar-4-inactive-51296.png" border="0" width="137" height="30" alt=""/></a>
