Hi everyone: I've been working on this showcase pump for a couple of years, off and on, and finally completed it this week. Couldn't afford the real thing so I decided to try to make one for my collection. Please excuse the quality of the pictures and the glare from the great sunshine. My camera doesn't do that good anymore but it is what it is.
The signs around the bottom are originals from a bottle rack that I bought at the CTO show a few years ago. I will also post some pics of my ECO Islander Air-Water that I just finished this week, too. Thanks for viewing...

Looks very cool!!! I love the Pennzoil Black/Red/Yellow together!!! And I love the sign!! I need to get one of those! Just curious, so did you make by hand the entire lower half cabinet area with the top being part of an original pump? If that's the case, wow that looks like a lot of work!!

Thanks guys for all the nice words.
Steve: Yes, the showcase part was built from scratch and the pump part obviously is the upper part of a 541 Bennett. I found one that had been shortened years ago. Just had to tweak it a little.
I've probably got 400-500 hours into it. I've worked the last 4-5 months putting in six to eight hours a day on it. There was a lot of trial and error. More errors than trials, lol. I was bound and determined to do this, even though it took a long time.
Glad you all like it...Thanks...Dale

nicely done, like the bell on the computer face.. Thanks Randy. I thought I'd do a little something different. Kinda hard to cut out the bell shape and get it to look right. I used an old aluminum sign to cut the shape out and applied it over the faces. I was very pleased with the outcome...Dale
