#127568 - Tue Dec 26 2006 10:11 AM Finished in TIME!!!
Boxcar2282 Active Member Registered: Sun Oct 15 2006 Loc: Stratford, CT USA	I just wanted to thank everyone in Old Gas Land...I just finished my first pump, a Gilbarco 996, a Christmas gift for my father. I converted it to a display case for practical purposes (he's old school...everything needs a purpose). Without this site and the expertise of the members, I never would have been able to complete it. As it was, I tightened the last bolt at 9:30 Christmas eve to get to my parents by 10! Thanks to Scott (my Christmas savior) and all of you. Best wishes for healthy & happy New Year to all. ------------------ Under Construction & Over Budget...of course:) "I'm just thinking about what to think about" 1951 Ford F3 - "Fred" _________________________ Under Construction & Over Budget...of course:) "I'm just thinking about what to think about" 1951 Ford F3 - "Fred"

Boxcar2282 Active Member Registered: Sun Oct 15 2006 Loc: Stratford, CT USA	Thanks for all the Cudos, but if it wasn't this sight and you guys being so generous with info and leads, it would never have gotten done. I also need to thank Chuck & Sue from Pergl's. Chuck from Chuck's Trucks LLC and my buddy Scott who came to my 11th hour call (cry) for help! Happy & Healthy New Year to All. _________________________ Under Construction & Over Budget...of course:) "I'm just thinking about what to think about" 1951 Ford F3 - "Fred"
