After all the "rustorations" I decided to do a nice restoration. I do like them shiny too. This was a project I worked on and off for over a year. Another reason I like the rustorations, they go fast. This one had to go in the house because the ceiling is to low in the garage.

Matt- It looks really, really good. I was admiring the ad glass too. Who made it?

Looks great. Glad you've got the high ceiling to display it inside.

Matt , we have seen a lot of pumps with new paint and they all look so great but I want to complement you on using a one color scheme on the wayne 70 with such nice add glass. Can't go wrong with seaside on the west coast. Was the union add glass original.
Great job.

Wow! very nice!!
I'm really liking the painted nozzle as well! It looks cool like that!
I have to agree with Les too. It's tough not to love the pumps with lights!

Thanks for all the complements. I can not take credit for the paint job. I did all the body work and a guy I work with painted it. He is a very good painter. It went from the paint booth to assembly, no color sanding and polishing. It ended up with a nice finish with about three pieces of dust in the finish.

The Union ad glass in the before picture are new, not original.

The Seaside ad glass were something I designed using parts from a picture of a sign. Al from decalsbykoz made the ad glass html
