Looking good Eric. Jason did you get a Polly quart yet? Maybe your dad will get you one for Christmas. That would be sweet.

NICE! What green is that? I like it!
I remember the good old days when gold was worth more than rust!

First, thanks Don for posting the pictures for me.
This is my first try at gas pumps, I took everything apart, had it stripped and repainted, new bolts and screws.
The air meter works and the computer is motorized when you lift the nozel and push in the button.
I believe the color is a Porsche green, but I will check and let you know.
I am now working on 2 Bowser 575s to be done in Texaco.
Any comments, positive or negative would be appreciated so that I can do better next time.
Eric.

Eric, you did a great job. Not often that we see someone who put's together a whole display at one time. It's obvious that you put some real thought into this project. Great job, glad to have you aboard. I'm sure you have just sparked many guys into getting their projects done. ------------------ Don "oltoydoc" Sherwood Vintage Gas

I bought the air meter at the Portland swap meet, 3 pumps and the lubster from a guy in the valley.
Supposedly the air meter was rebuilt and calibrated, Not!!!
It was missing the plungers and other parts, but it works now.
I will post the color and better pictures soon.
Dodogas, you posted some pictures with a Wurlitzer Jukebox in the back ground, is it for sale.
I am looking for a few of these juke boxes if anyone know of any.
Next time that I'm in Kelowna, I'll look you up.
Thanks for your comments, Eric.
