Hello Curtis: Attached are pictures of my Glascock that I was telling you that I just finished. I wish I had a place for it in my collection. I would like to keep it, but just can't find that right spot for it. I think that I will take it to Chicago April and try and sell it. It took a little time to find a color that I thought was close to the original color. I would like everyones input on what you think of the color green that I used. The cooler is pretty much all original except for the handle and hinges.(I wonder where I got those biggrin) Anyway enjoy the pictures, and on to the next project. Curtis when you get some of those projects done that you were working on, be sure to post some pictures, I would like to see the end results.

The Cooler looks great Rod you should have no trouble selling that next month and I think the color is very close. I'll take care of the project you were asking about first thing on Thursday. Take care and talk with you soon. Curtis.

Looks Great Rod,,, I'm sure you'll have no problem selling that beauty at Chicago in April....
Love the Brass, all polished up like that. I restored a full size glascock for my Dad last fall, and I was able to color match the origianal paint that I found up on the inside of one of the rails , but it was a much darker, (Army,Olive Drab Green) that I found and so I went with that look... can't find a photo right now, but it turned out nice as well.
See you in April!

The panels on my Glascock are the original embossed ones. But I forgot to mention that Fun-Tronics now has replacement panels for the Glascock junior and standard coolers. I have the decals that can be applied by yourself or we offer the panels in a reverse paint technique. These look awsome. If anyone would like to see a picture I would be glad to post a picture. These coolers are great to restore, but if your panels are rusted out(which they usually are) it is hard to restore it. Now it's possiable to give it a top notch restoration.

Rod, would love to see the panels you offer... when I restored one last summer, I had replacment panels that where from Vintage Vending... they sold me one of the last sets they had from those reproduction Glascocks they sold or distributed.. since my originals where way long gone.. these look great! they are painted/screened on..

I too would love to see them. I have a lead on a few glasscocks that I've beenb  skirting because repro  panels were near impossible to find.
