Hello all.This is my first attempt at posting an image so I hope it works. I restored this Neptune/Aqua System pump two years ago. I sold it to the guy who owns the Chevrolet dealer where I work. I have restored a lot of pumps over the years and finally got bored doing the usual colors... you know red and white, green and white ect. ect. so my last three pumps have all been painted with custom colors I have mixed myself. I am using a lot of pearl colors to really make the pumps pop. It is more fun to do your own colors and designs than to always do the same old brands and colors I think. I have also read a lot of your old posts and see the debate over restored and non restored rages on. My vote is for restored in any color or brand. When I see an original un-touched pump my mind kicks into hi gear and I start to think of how it would look with new paint. Just my way of thinking, I know it all boils down to personal choice. Well, have fun everyone and
have a good day too.

That pump looks nice. I wish i could paint like that. Although i like pumps to be original it comes down to personal choice. If you like it its all that matters.


Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Not an owner just a dreamer. I used to have a good sized collection of Tucker memorabilia but had to sell it all. Still love the car and the history though. Actually I've always been a 1940's history buff.
Is this site cool or what!!!!?????
