Now you are aware that KRUSE has been have problems paying the cosigners for their cars. If your a vendor I see no problems but if you are putting it into a auction be aware that they have been making poeple wait up to three months to get paid on their cars. Pump looks fantastic!

Good eye. I have spent a lot of time this summer painting a 94 mustang convertible. The owner needs it finished by the 9th so he can go to a show. Now that the pump is done I can finish the car still need to paint the hood, trunk lid, spoiler, and rocker mldgs and put it all back together. Lots still to do. I am putting the pump in a friends vendor booth. Never tried the auction.

You make it look too easy. Make sure you splash some flour on your face so we see the hard work that went into the pump. All kidding aside, the pump looks amazing. Thanks for sharing pictures. Mike

Hey thanks for all of the kind words. I really enjoy using pearl powders in my paint and it is hard to tell from some pics but when the sun hits that pearl that pump GLOWS. I bought the globe and vinyl skelly items from Vics then saw a sign for sale on e-bay that showed the fortefied premium logo so I printed a copy and asked a sign shop in town to make vinyl letters shaped like the sign. I actually made a small mistake and put blue pearl over the top of the red and blue decals and unless the sun is shining right on the pump the red has a purple tint to it. Note to self put decals on top of blue pearl not under. Currently working on another Aqua System pump that is going to be faded a beautiful pearl red over black with water release signal decals buried under four coats of clear. Should be nice. I'll show some pictures if I can ever get it done. Maybe I'm crazy but I like to paint the globe bodies the same color as the pump too. Just would not be the same with a dull blue plastic body would it?

I'm painting the globe body on my 39 tokheim. It gives a very professional look.

The Neptune is the Aqua system pump I mentioned earlier. I'm fading red pearl over black The picture doesn't show it very well but the pump base is already sprayed in the color the rest of the pump will be. The framework was sprayed with some leftover paint that was similar to the base but not quite the color I was looking for. I hope to finish that pump before thanksgiving and will be sure to post pictures when I get it done.
I thought blue and silver were Detroit Lions colors? Hope they can do something this year tired of being dead last or close to it!!!
