Willy, I too welcome you to this site. If you haven't figured it out yet, all of us here are addicted to heavy metal and the smell of stale gasoline.
I'm assuming by your question, that you want to know how to restore your pump? Well, there are as many different ways of doing that, as there are collectors on this site. Not too many rules here. I'll share what I believe most of us do.
1st. Get rid of the actual pump and motor. You will loose about 100lbs of unwanted weight, and keep yourself from getting a hernia. Some guys feel that it's better to keep them original, but the majority throw it away. One collector (Professor Bennett) has mentioned that the motor turns at a speed that is good for use as a buffing wheel.
2nd. decided if you like the original paint (patina) and want to leave it like that, or if not, re-paint it.
3rd. if you decide to repaint it, strip off the old paint. Some do this by hand using paint stripper, but most have them sand/media blasted.
4th. after the old paint is off, you'll need to decide what brand you want to restore it in. Look through old photos, parts catalogs, photos on this site, or on
www.vintagegas.com and decide on what you want it to look like. Again, no real rules in this area. Pick what you like.
5th. Order you globe or decal or both, and use them to match the colors for your pump. You can find the original paint codes if you wish, but often the colors are off a bit from the new decals.
6th. You'll probably want to disasemble a lot of the pump to paint. You don't have too, but then you'll be masking all day. Paint, plate, polish, what ever you decide, replace the parts that need it, and reassemble.
If you go to the main menu on this site, you'll find vendors for nearly everything you need. Lots of friendly guys here, and many of the vendors post on this site too.
So, have a good time with it, and start clearing out space for the next pump, as you will see it's an addicting hobby.
I'm sure I've forgotten some things, but basically that's the process.
