Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: ducatihummer on June 08, 2009, 04:08:11 pm Thanks about the color...
The color actualy has a story behind it. In 1991 I was getting one of my cars painted I always liked differant colors, and I really wanted this color. It was only made on the 1991 Isuzu Amego. The codes weren't in the books so I had to pretend I wanted to buy one and went to the Isuzu dealer. Took one for a test drive and when I was looking it over, had to memorize the paint codes :biggrin: I then went to the body shop with the codes and gave them the #'s. when they started painted the car they had to call me since they wanted to make sure I really wanted that color since they never saw anything like it before. So when I had to think of a color for the stoner I picked this color since i still had the codes and now every time I look at it, I'll be reminded of that story. Jeff, I'm around NE Philly area. Tom is a great guy, he's only like 30-45 min from me. Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: mrsoda on June 08, 2009, 04:22:13 pm Thanks about the color...

Looks great! I also think the color is awesome!!!! Nice job!!!! Brian Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: RC kid on June 08, 2009, 08:15:02 pm keep posting progress reports as the restoration goes along.
i think it looks really cool. Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: David D on June 08, 2009, 08:34:31 pm Looks very nice, it motivates me to start working on my national cigarette machine. I like the color you picked it should look sweet once finished.
Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: ducatihummer on June 09, 2009, 02:06:18 pm I took apart the vending stack, and painted or polished everything. I'm glad I have an extra one to look at to put this back together! I still haven't worked on the pull area part at the bottom, or put the gum parts back together, but here is what the progress looks like so far.
Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: ducatihummer on June 09, 2009, 02:10:00 pm Some more of it painted and polished. Hopefully I can get to the rest soon!

Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: barryra on June 10, 2009, 10:20:15 pm What are you planning on doing with your machine when it's done? Display in your living room? Sell it? It looks nice!
Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: SIGNGUY on June 11, 2009, 08:28:27 am Looks great, I've always been afraid of taking one apart? did you paint the parts or powder coat them? also what did you polish the metal parts with ? they look great.
Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: ducatihummer on June 11, 2009, 08:49:20 am I'm going to be displaying it in my Family room, then in my basement once I re-due it. I'm hoping to have a few of my projects done by next year. Then it will give me a reason to re-due the basement so I can display the things I have nicely.
First I cleaned them all by hand, and used some steal wool on the tuff parts. I could have stoped there since it looked nice once that was done, but then to make it look a little better I just used some aluminum polish on the change mech part, and metal polish on the other parts. I just did it by hand and it looks nice. If I would have used a polishing wheel I think it would have looked like chrome! Thanks for the comments. Title: Re: Stoner Theater with Gum Wheel project Post by: bcharlton on June 12, 2009, 10:13:38 am Great Job!!! I am looking forward to seeing it complete. I also paint the candy trays .

I can't wait to see the finished product. |
