Thought I'd round out December by posting an update on my Vendo V81A project, the bodywork was complete, as well as the "Rhino-coating" of the liners backside & the inside of the chassis/body shell, I also had the back of the door liner coated, ( last weekend) and so on to the paint booth it went & the base coat of good-ol' Coke red was applied (this past Tuesday) it was clear coated & lettered today ( pictures pending) & the final re-assembly is for tommorow & a nice run-in overnight for the compressor,
Funny thing happened (not funny Ha-Ha) when I went to pickup the compressor deck of of my bench the capillary line got hooked on my bench vices handle & Pffft!!!!  '> !!! yep I kinked the tube & got a dandy of a leak, well I had to patch the line at the break with a little piece of 1/4" tubing crimped down to fit the cap' tube & brazed it on, & Vacuumed the system & recharged with R12, & got it back up & running ( no leaks! whew!) only when you're in a hurry.
Why all the Rush? why the customer wants it by Saturday the 24th for his Christmas party of course! (it's for Mr. Art-Van of ArtVans furniture himself no less!
Yep! no pressure at all  , Merry Xmas all!

Sounds like the cap tube is analogous to you.

I like that too. That is got to be the cyber-friend mantra.
All kidding aside - looks very nice. I wish my 81 had that shine!
Best wishes for getting it done on time.
