Well it's been a really cold and long winter, but I have had a busy winter restoring some great machines. I have included pictures of a few things that I finished over the winter. The Orange Crush machine is a fantasy machine, but the embossing did come off a rare Orange Crush cooler. I would like to thank John Nelson for sharing the panels off of this cooler. The embossing on the Orange Crush is all painted on by my painter by doing it in stages using my decal sets as blockers. The 7-up and RC machines are the real deal and not made up. The Coke machine is the rare 81 C. These are very hard to find. You don't find many pictures of the Orange Crush on the internet, so that is why I am sharing them here before I deliver the machines. Enjoy the pictures.  drinking

Very cool rod. I wondered what would happen to those OC panels I saw Janet carrying last fall at the Chicagoland show. Very nice Indeed. Im doing a grapette machine and hope to have it finished in the coming months!

I just have one panel left and I'm going to use it to do another one to keep for myself.

Grapette will look awsome also. Can't wait to see it. Be sure to share pictures when you get it done.

The decals on the side are one's that my sign guy created for me using an original Orange Crush sign. Yes the Nehi soda in the back ground came from Alan.
