[img=http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/9707/branson162tk5.th.jpg] after buying a group of pumps then selling and trading i ended up with a frame to a hayes visible. i figured when all was said and done i did not have anything in to the pump. after it set in the yard for several months i decided i would try to do the cheapest restoration that i could. i took some large street signs that were free , and made the side panels,some angle iron for the corner trim.i bought a sheet of lexan and made the cylinder . the top is off of a brinkman smoker that i got at a garage sale for a dollar. a little fabracating to make the top fit and a little paint and it was done. iknow some of the purist here wont like it but i do and for a little over 150.00 i dont think it looks too bad dave

Looks GREAT.
If I saw it at 70 MPH, I'd slam on the brakes to ask if it was for sale, before looking at it closer.
