SAWEEEEETTTT!! Good job Hubba, the original paint looks really cool. Was the green in that condition or did you have something to do to it?

Local Frank - yes we should - your Buddy and I miss ya. thanks for the Post card. Morgan... The original green had some chips to it but basically it was dirty and dull. Alls I did was clean compound and wax it. The paint came right uo with good gloss. I left the paint chips as is... seeing they werent too bad. Thanks for the comments everyone. --------------------------------------------- Hubba

Great job on that metro pump Hubba! I like the fact that you saved some of the original paint. You are very talented! Post more pictures. Nice looking Wayne 60 next to it.
