Finally all done with my resto. It's a late 40's Bowser 575 done as a mid 50's Standard Oil Gold Crown Premium. Picked up the NOS crown a few years back. Only thing that's not original is the faceplates and the glass, otherwise it's all restored original stuff. Me likey. It the big daddy to my Bennett 1066! Here's a quick youtube vid of the restoration. And here's a few pics to wet your whistle.

I'm an auto painter by trade, so I like to do minor body/paint jobs on the side as a hobby. I did 100% of the resto myself at my home. It's correct single-stage paint, not base/clear.
Holy smokes it's big, too, like 7 and half feet tall!
LOVE this thing!
