Thanks Brian, it was painted, it was in quite nice shape. It would have displayed quite nicely as is, but the owner wanted it restored, so that's what I did. It started out dark blue with white doors, which I am thinking was North Star, and 2 coats of yellow with the Shell decals on it, so it was preserved underneath quite well, only one small rust spot on the bottom of one of the side panels and a little rust on the top insert where the globe ring would go. I delivered the panels to him last night and he was quite excited to get them back. I would bet that he'll have it pretty much back together by the weekend, I'll go over Saturday and find out. Ken.

Thanks guys, it's a great advantage to work at a bodyshop that gives you free run of the shop after hours, most of us that work there always have projects of some kind that we work on. For myself, I don't have a garage to work in anymore so this is where I work on my own stuff. As I said, we are fortunate the owners and manager's let us do that there and we respect that and don't abuse the privilege. Ken.

Nice work & a Great combo , excellent job. But man if I found one that good in original condition I would have been tempted to display it as is .Not taking anything away from your restoration which is super.Now that I have my first pump restored this month, I am liking the original rough & aged look more and more.And that's where I am heading on my next one.Keep up the great work.

Nice paint job and the finished product looks great as a white rose pump. The air meter looks good as well. Thanks for sharing.
