Another job well done Pat! As for the palm trees, I could have done without.. but like others have said... if that's what they want...  Question though... whats with the 6 raised "buttons" at the top of the machine (above and below the corona)? Just curious is all.  It's were the original 7up tacker sign was riveted onto the machine...I guess the guy didn't want to spring for any additional body work to weld up the holes.. |

I thought that's what it might be... but then I look at the original machine, and he had a dent there.... I mean, if he's gonna pay for the repair of the dent... why not go the extra yard and fix a couple of holes? I guess we have to wait for Pat to chime in and see what it's all about |

From what I was told, his wife said he was already over budget when he bought the thing...so you can speculate from there!

I really like the Corona design, you did a great job with it. Colors really pop.

Not dogging the work but here is a question. The dent was fixed. It would have taken 10 minutes to weld up those holes and get them ready for a skim coat of mud. After the machine was disassembled and blasted it would have even been easier to fix. Anyone restoring these old rust prone machines should have a mig welder in their shop. I do a lot of restoration work and that is such a simple task that it should not of even been mentioned and just done!

I agree with Joey...The fantasy machine was nicely done but with a little more effort, it would have looked perfect.

Machine looks great, I love the Corona theme, I was going to do a vmc 27 in the corona them but it required way to much modification to be used for corona bottles, dam long neck bottles, figured it was pointless sacrificing a machine if I couldn't use it for it's intended themed purpose, I think a little counter top vmc 27 would look so cool in a Corona theme !

I'm currently restoring a tall Gilbarco pump with station lighter. One door had 22 holes the other 24 where various pump plates and signs etc had been installed over the years. Imagine what it would have looked like if I did not weld up the holes!!!!
