Very cool man, very..!!! I used to work for the gaming company I.C.E. we didn't do any pinball games and I was stuck in a crappy "coin pusher" game area, but I had a bunch of friends that worked in other areas... Nice work..!!

Thanks Sublimewind! And if you are ever in the Rochestrer area, come on over and play!

ToolGuy · Post by **ToolGuy** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:46 pm

Thanks! What machines do you have then? I also have a second, a 1987 Bally Party Animal which was my first one...

Quote, originally posted by lovemyraffe Â»Nice, now come help me with my '54 Buick.Thank you! LOL!!! I would love to work on an old car like yours! Actually if I could, I would get something and restore it. The biggest issue is I have no more garage space for one. My friend one street over has a 1959 Plymouth Belvedere and a 1970 Dodge Polara. The Polara runs and drives and is still original the 59 is in pieces awaiting assembly and paint. Sadly I do not think my friend will ever get to the 59 so I keep my ears open hoping possibly he will saw I need to get rid of it! It is not original by any means but if assembled and new paint, it would make a nice driver like his Polara.

You cannot tell but the backbox decals are repos I had made from an original that can be seen in the scond before pics I posted, to the left on a work bench. I also had to remove the black metal siderails, pound out the dents and re-paint them, rebuild the high voltage board... I could go on with what I did but it was more than clean it and install new light bulbs. I get attached to every one I do...

Yep, Driving to work this morning on the "glass like" roads was a breeze, I also got 100lbs of bagged corn for the trunk, from my dad (for his chickens) which REALLY helped stabilize the car on the snow tires..It was like "meh" though, I spent 15yrs in Buffalo NY, this weather is NOTHING...
