Hey all -

Just finished my first machine.  It is a WD5 I purchased during a car show in PA.  Wasn't in terrible shape when i started, but i stripped it down, painted and striped it, powdercoated the inside and put it all back together.  Many thanks to Eric at global compressors for a first rate job of restoring the refrigeration unit.


 I haven't posted on here yet, but found a lot of helpful topics and information during my restoration.  I usually do cars, and this was a really nice (and quick) project that I had a lot of fun on.

Thanks,
Josh

Sweet!  Is the embossing hand-painted or did you use the masking method?
