FInishing projects before I move. USS 64, Glassco and Vendo 39

[loman4ec]

Well I am finishing up all of my current projects before I move. I have never had to pull off anything like this before. I finished three machines in about 4 weeks. The V39 had been a work in progress for several months. It was done right. It was stripped down 100% and done inside and out. It looks fantastic. The lettering was done by hand and the paint was done by a local custom car painter and was done in House of Kolor base clear.

The USS-64 and Glassco were done for the same customer. He wanted a budget refurbishment. They both look good but were not done like the V39. He wanted the Glassco as a reach in cooler and since we ar in Cincinnati he wanted it done in Bengals. He also didn't want to spring for the cost of a real cap catcher so I had this stashed away and put it on. The customer is happy so thats all that matters. I attached some pics. Overall these look really nice.

Wow tough crowd Both the USS64 and Vendo 39 still need decals on the sides which I am doing today. I also cant figure out the lock bar on this darn Vendo 39. I cant get it to work. Once I get the breaker strips in the 39 I will post pictures. It looks great inside. I hammer pained everything and polished the drum. I painted the two inner wheels and polished the outside by hand with blue magic. That stuff really works. I got a simple hand polish to look like a mirror.

Looks great, Josh!  That Bengals cooler is a great idea.

Thanks. They were fun projects. The galssco looks good for a stripped cooler. The USS-64 looks great too. The V39 is picked up tomorrow and it is almost done. It is the nicest I have ever done.

Look Good Josh nice idea on the Glasco  .
would like to see the insides of these  always nice to see the complete thing inside  & out .

The inside of the glasco is as is and so is the USS-64. The owner basically wanted a refurbishment and not a restoration. They were done very cheap. I a, still working on the vendo 39. but I will post pics of it. It looks good. The breaker strips go in tomorrow.

That drum face looks sweet!  Will that finish hold up over time or would you have to re-polish it?  I have a V-39 that needs restoring.

I don't know if it will hold up. It does look good though. Blue magic is a miracle worker. I love it. I barely had to run a use any elbow greas. I think it will hold up for  while. Then it is easy to polish

What is Blue Magic? Is it a car polish? I need to polish the stainless candy shute on my Stoner. There's just no way to buff it unless you have small buffs.

Blue Magic is in my opinion the best metal polish on the market. It spreads easily and it polishes with little effort. I have had this tube for forever so I do not remember where to find it,
