Welcome to Oldgas!

I’m looking for a few D-X cans to complete my rack. Must be in very good condition, with both lids. No holes in the tops, drained from the bottom is fine.

1x either Diamond Motor Oil or D-X Transmission fluid

2x DHD Motor Oil

1x D-X Extrinol

Your father's work is "spot-on" .... that is just a spectacular looking piece of work The 3-d Mobil badge that you had printed looks amazing as well! I'm sure that took more than a few hours to complete, what a labor of love. Appreciate ya showing us all.. be well.

Me too, just thought I would ask ya'll that have more experience

It's more likely rust staining.

I've tried various rust removers like CLR before on these, but it didnt seem to help. This last year or two I've been using "Concrete & Metal Prep" from Home Depot to partially derust painted signs, especially white areas. I havent tried it on ad glass, i could see it working but dont know. You could try a spot, let it sit for 5 minutes, and wash it off, see what you get. The metal prep is essentially the same stuff I've been using for years on bare metal before painting in the auto paint business, it removes rust and leaves a phosphate coating on bare metal, on glass I think it would just remove rust, I would think.

Also a chance that evapo-rust could work, but again havent tried that one either.

Maybe someone in here has already tried these before on ad glasses?

I have ruined these before by soaking them for a long time (hours) in solution, whatever you do I wouldnt soak for long periods of time, 5-10 minutes, that kind of thing.

Not sure where/what he searched to find nothing on them.

Thanx for the kind words Fred!
You and others on here are still welcome to come by! I plan on finally building on the property and plan to have it as my home base till I'm gone from this world.
I will still be buying and selling, just no more trying to maintain a "antique store" that is open to the general public. I will probably keep advertising with most of my websites for buying petro but also started ibuybrokenevs . com and starting a whole new adventure with that. So hopefully I'll still be around on here for a long time to come. Once a petrohead, always a petrohead!
Nope, she's too precious to ever give up and probably the only thing NFS in the pic!

There was one on ebay last year that sold for $2300. It's documented on worthpoint, even without an account you should be able to see the pictures and compare. I guess its possible the ebay one is fake, but it sold for good money, so makes you think its legit.

Makes sense, I figured they had something like that. I cant remember exactly where I was on route 66, somewhere in Arizona and I just happened to drive by an old neon motel sign with construction equipment all around it. There was a crew destroying the motel and I asked them about the sign and apparently by law it had to either needed be moved or stay put, can't remember which anymore. I think some of these towns on route 66 have enacted laws about this, makes sense.

Welcome

More progress being made. I think I have all the parts that are to be powder coated done. Here are the computer panels, window frames, conduit, add glass brackets, bell, and all the red parts.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I will enjoy this pump until it’s my time to pass it on to the next caregiver.
