Here is my Gusher nightmare restoration from 2010. I had wanted one but obviously was too impatient to wait.... So i guess the 120 hours of restoration made sense, I wont be doing that again. Here is a before and after shot.

Merry Christmas,
I did the Gusher myself, it was really a learning experience!! Man, did i underestimate it. I scanned it, filled the deeper areas with filler, painted the areas with flat color and then proceeded to recreate some of the lettering and artwork that was destroyed on photoshop, printing the pieces on waterslide decals and then laying them down and clearcoating over all of it with autoclear.....

Heres a few photos of the rework...

From the 60's Slick Chick is the winner, Sweet Hearts comes last. King of Diamonds in second place. All of them are really good looking machines with North Star being the nicest.
