Since I am restoring a Bowser 585 I would love to see photos of other 585's out there. I have found a few on Google, but would love to see what you guys have.
Thanks!

This was my introduction to gas pumps in 1991. I used it for a few years in the house as a liquor cabinet. I let a friend trade me out of it for a book collection i wanted very badly. He said the only option was the pump so I let it go. I always do pumps with doors that are hindged as they make great usable storage areas, explaning the door pull on the front. Just run a strip of magnet (3m product)down the latch side and no clips or keys reguired.I am on #6 now and I will probably do another 585 If I come across a complete one some day close by.

Take lots of pictures BEFORE you get it to far torn down & burn to a CD, they will help to reassemble.

Here's my before pic. I just finished painting and reassembly will be this week. I've done cars before, but this is my first pump restoration. It's going back to Phillips colors.
