Well I can tell you that I am happy this one is done. Not a very "freindly" pump to assemble or have to open by removing the doors.

I know what you mean.Its a pain to put on the doors without scratching the paint.

I almost want to buy those million hour bulbs so you never have ot open it. Absolutely impossible to open iwthout rubbing somewhere.

very nice. You must be retired to have all that time to finish those pumps, or you always stay up real late to work on them. lol. all your pumps look real nice.

Not retired, retarded. I have a problem in the brain that somehow makes me come home from work exhausted but can't seem to go inside and go to bed. I think it's the only quiet time by myself.

Anybody interested in a nice 565? I will throw in my wife also, trust me it's a good deal. Just think you can replace your old wife with the new and improved version with all the upgrades and she even allows pumps in the house:)

AWESOME JOB!!! I agree with the unfriendly doors. I dread changing bulbs on my TYDOL too.
Love the before and after pics.

LOOKS GREAT! DID YOU HAVE TO FILL WITH "BONDO OR WELD" WHERE THE CHROME TRIM PIECES WERE AT BY THE FACES?
Posted By: SOUTHFLORIDAGAS Re: PHILLIPS 66 BOWSER 565 - Sat Aug 07 2010 04:26 PM
Welded holes. They were there but even after trying to bump round and chrome plate them they were awful

Good looking pump. Do they make LED light bulbs yet? The LED's claim they last like a million hours.

Lovely Pump, i have one also and i have had it 12 months now, the guy who restored it for me in the states told me they are bad to take apart. I have NEVER had the time to start messing with taking the doors off yet, but i have been warned so i will not remove them unless i have to. Mine is nice however i would like to see a close up shot of the reset crank (From the Outside of course) If you have time.

Thanks Tony (U.K)

Sorry if i missed the point somewhere, just noticed the chrome trim wasn't replaced on the restoration, could you explain why? I have noticed mine is loose, as i said i have never been inside it so unsure how they are fixed. Are they popped in on studs?

Great looking pump! I'm restoring the same one now. May I ask if that is a sticker in the middle of the pump (Phillips 66 logo) or is it painted?

The 'chrome' pieces along the sides of the window are stainless, at least the Canadian ones are, and are held in place with a bracket that slides into the back and has two threaded studs and nuts that hold it onto the pump. A lot of patience, time, and picking and filing can bring back most of the dented ones. I used a small hammer and flat screwdriver working the backside and filing down any front areas that were raised too high and then finally using a number of finer grits of paper and compounds for polish. It is tedious but when I did mine I didn't have any other sources for replacement. It is a great looking pump and I still regret selling the three that I restored. Cheers, Don.
