Looks great, nice job. About how many hours do you have into it?
Im planning on displaying mine between my garage doors like yours. Just hope I dont get people stopping by looking for gas at 29 a gallon!
Wanted: Original Jenney Gas, Husky, Marathon, and Frontier Globes

Not sure as to actual amount of time spent on this. I usually only worked on to weekends as I'm gone all week. Got this from wife in August and wanted it done by Christmas.

Merry Christmas. You did an awesome job and just in time for Christmas. I see you are looking for a 60's to 70's pump and Swabby had just posted in the For Sale or Trade about 60's to 70's pumps he might be able to get. Just might be your next project. Mike

I firmly believe that the Smithway L-3 series, will soon be a very collectable pump. I dont imagine that it will ever be a Wayne-60, but I envision it as a Tokhiem 39. Right now, they are affordable, and fairly common. Although I dont know of anybody making reproduction parts for them yet, any missing or damaged parts should be easy enough to find. This pump was also the subject of my recent ROTM feature.
Anything Chevron I'd rather be flying.....

Hi there. I just redid this Wayne pump. Not old, but I added the older Mobil decals. EASY to work on. Guts came out easy. Best of all it was free. I plan on adding a globe the same style as the decal and lighting it. I just got a pump handle, and I found some nice goodyear hose at Tractor Supply for cheap. It sits outside my garage in the summer. I have had alot of compliments on it from passers by. I actually had some muscle car guys want to buy it. I like it too much. I also have a Tok 39. Currently disassembled and awaiting restoration.
Always looking for Ithaca Gun and Lucky Sam soda items!!!
