Might work if you just used the orange crush and didn't include the "drink"

These may be too big.. even for the 110... the embossed areas are solid just the bottoms and the sides are rusted/gone.

That would make a cool generic 55 project!

I saw a local restorer in my area that is in the process of converting a 110 Coke in to a Pepsi.  He took some vintage logo and took it to some metal shop and they made an embossed piece of metal out of it that would fit the 110.  I saw it after this was done and he had the lower part of the machine painted blue and the upper portion white.  The embossed part looked perfect.  The letters had not been hand painted yet, but it will be done in red.  Should have taken a picture of it.  He told me he has a client that asked him to do it.

Ive often thought about getting a design done for any logo you want, I personally like the old school dr. pepper.

take the design to a sheet metal place or anywhere that can laser or water jet metal and have them cut the design out in 1/4 thick metal,

weld that to the macine, and then use filler and or welds and high build primer to "round it out" a bit and walla... raised letter,.. sure not embossed but for a fantasy piece? who cares??

just a thought
