Just cause Ricks show is on TV, one can't then have a "get out of jail" card as an excuse that "you can't believe what you see on TV".
If that were the case, then EVERY show from the news, to documentary shows are fake, and can spew ANY false things about anyone, or anything, and can't be liable for it, cause hey "ITS ON TV" so it's not real!
Rick seems like a nice guy on TV.... so am I to assume that he's not because he's on TV, and one cant believe what they see on TV?
He should have known better as a person who likes old things, that what he did with the 39 changing into a 72, well, that goes against MANY morals or beliefs that I have as a person that my parents raised to be a decent guy.

He's not a very nice guy. The show has made him arrogant and big headed. I have been told this many times before but I sold him a 3 door victor (The one he turned into a cooler grill and he didn't contact me for several weeks and when I got angry when he finally called me his answer was something like this " DO you have any idea who I am"? What a jerk!

I hope he enjoys the ride... What a privilege it would be to be where he's at.
And it's because of viewers that watch his show that he's there now.
Hope he doesn't hurt too many people on this journey and burn too many bridges.
This won't last for him... but hopefully it'll last long enough to maybe put his kid through
a great college and he can save up for a nice retirement as I'm sure in that line he
doesn't have a pension or company match 401k.
Like I said before... haven't watched in a while.. and when I did it was to look at the stuff in
the background... he just didn't keep my interest and I have projects of my own... And there
are several here that do better work.

Did they put the "Have a Coke" lettering on all the selection "forks" on a Cavalier stack? My grandad had a CSS-64 in his machine shops and I thought that label was only on th etopp few so other Coke products could be loaded on those shelves. I was young at this time, so I could be totally wrong. I do know is I would give every machien I have for the one from his shop. Sadly, both are gone now.

He screwed me on a deal too. I have it set to DVR so I can watch when I want to.
I watch for pure entertainment. He does get some neat stuff through the doors. Cant deny that.
I'm not to impressed with the restorations. Seems for the amount charged the final product would be nicer. He's riding the TV wave right now. Saw somewhere else they just moved into a new place. Guess TV is paying off right now.

For $5800.00 he could have at least chrome plated those 2 front doors.

Just for clarification; it a Vendorlator/VMC 27.
Vendo didn't produce the Model 27...

Just as a side note..... I was watching one of the very, very few as in only show that I currently try to keep up on, Top Shot, last night and they had a promo for this weeks installment of Rick's show. It started with him mentioning something about restoring/finding the "Holy Grail of Coke machines". So I'm thinking maybe the dude lucked into a Victor Kooler Grill.....Not quite. It turned out to be what looked like a Coca-Cola branded True N-416 1 Door Cooler. Pretty uncommon but definitely not the "Holy Grail". I guess it's like throwing the title of "Rare" on everything. Maybe it's a subjective term, maybe it's not!  |
