It is pretty thick. You can't bend it. He has a machine shop in which he cut it and did the rivots. I am guessing it is 8 gauge, maybe 10?

Here is where it stands now. I still have to replace the gasket for the underside of the lid, put the rack and coin mech in, and finish the light for the back. I got some brass feet off of my parents old stove to replace the rusted ones that came off of this one. They look the same. It runs quiet and cools nicely. The thermostat works well too.

Now, your opinions please: Should I decal the sides or leave them as they are? There is going to be a style star light up sign on the back.

I would add the style star sign and leave it at that!  But I am not a big fan of all the decals and such.

The sides seem to be missing something,  Add the decals

I say find some off flavor round signs (like the CC on the front). I've seen them in 7UP and DP (Chevron logo) - I have an extra 7UP somewhere if you want it. I think centered (off-center) at the top in the white would look cool.

This was the look I was going for.  Here are also pictures with the light added now.

Thanks.
I am leaning towards leaving the sides blank for now. I haven't seen a fishtail decal that small. No worries, no pinstriping.
