I finally finished my outside pump. I bought this one for parts for the other 96c I did and I wasn't going to put this one together but I decided to go ahead and build it anyway. The globe and decals came from another OG member a few years ago, and I just went with a single stage paint. It's set on a timer so I have a night light on when I get home.

very nice i like it

Very Nice

Nice pump.

Really nice "parts pump"...Dale

Looks nice, I've got something like that in the back of my mind for next summer. I like the timer idea! Cool way to turn it on at night and provides a really neat night light!

That is a really nice outdoor gas pump!

liking it, nice job...

Nice very nice

I like it very nice pump for outside. Jack

MOVE IT AROUND BY THE SIDE DOOR AND IT WILL LOOK VERY CHRISTMAS'Y! IS THAT A REPOP GLOBE? I WOULD ASSUME NOT YOU HAVING IT OUTSIDE AND ALL. VERY NICE!

MIGHT I SUGGEST YOU PLACING A FLAT PIECE OF CUT STONE UNDER IT TO KEEP IT OFF YOUR DRIVEWAY?

I did not understand any of that, Pump looks great as it is and where it is, Good Job

Looks fantastic!

DUDE I WAS KIDDING ABOUT THE SIDE DOOR THING. I SAID IT BECAUSE THE DOOR IS GREEN. AND WHEN YOU PUT A PICE OF NICELY CUT STONE UNDER IT, IT WILL HAVE AN ISLAND LOOK TO IT. JUST SAYING WHAT I WOULD DO THAT'S ALL.

Actually I was considering putting it there but the pad is too narrow and would block the entrance to the door. I didn't think about mounting it on a stone but I like the "island look" idea. Thanks for all the compliments.

Looks good and that's a great idea on the timer for the night light.

looks great!!almost too nice to be outside!

I was wondering????? Do those of you that have pumps displayed outside, have them affixed to the ground in some way? I'm thinking of the ferocious North Dakota winds that we get sometimes. It isn't very often that it tops 50mph but sustained 40 mph winds in this country are frequent and we have had gusts to 70, every once in a while!

My pumps are just setting on concrete. The only problem I have had is my @@@@@@@@&&&&&&&&&&&%%%% son knocking one over with his car

MY BIGGEST FEAR HERE NOT HAVING MINE SECURED TO THE GROUND WOULD BE METAL THIEVES...THE SCRAPPERS!

Get yourself one of those concrete A/C mounting pads. Set your pump on it and mark for the mounting holes. Drill part way through the pad with a masonary bit a few sizes larger than the threaded rod you plan on using. Install some short pieces of threaded rod using some of the high-tech adhesives available for this purpose. Once the adhesive dries/cures, put the pad where you want it and bolt the pump down. Once you close and lock the door - theives will be hard-pressed to walk off with your pump.

Later . . .

In the Spokane area there has been a number of pumps stolen.some one stole a nice old wayne 60 from an old station and a number of visables have been stolen. I even heard of a whole globe collection that was stolen around here( I hope your reading this). Is this normal for other parts of the country.

The pumps I have done specifically for outside, I have always left the guts in for the weight

I did lag this on down with four 3/8" bolts to help prevent it from growing "legs".

T-Way---Do those air conditioner pads come in a rounded shape at all? I was thinking of the pump island shapes and then just use those pound in masonry lags to hold it down.
Thievery isn't so much of a problem here in North Dakota--its too d#%m cold! With these economic times tho, I think it behooves all of us to be on the watch for someone coming around with deals too good to be true! If something gets stolen, it could be posted here and we could all be on the lookout for it!
I know I have pictures of all my stuff!
