I know the thing over the past years is to restore rechrome repolish reshine old gas pumps and everything else and Im right in there I have redone every nut and bolt on my 67 camaro my 67 C10 , but on this pump and my other antiques I want nothing but original rusted barn fresh stuff I love the character it has ,,,,here is RC thermometer same as the gas pump but I would not trade it for two shiny ones ,,,

Hey I know that feeling too I've got a 69 Camaro SS that's had every nut and bolt polished or chromed but I have a whole fence full of signs with patina galore. This is my favorite by far: Super Early embossed Orange Crush Sign with the right amount of original paint and rust. I love the character this sign has and if we only knew the stories all the patina signs could tell us.
