So i havent posted to much lately. Been overwhelmed at work and home and havent had the time. I bought this pump a month ago and finally got a few days to do some real work. The gentleman i bought it off of got ripped off bad by his paint guy. He claimed to have body worked the pump and spray it with automotive paint. A few slathers of bondo and rattle can is all it got. So that made more work for me. I felt bad for the guy as he paid hard earned cash to the guy just to get a horrible paint job and body work

Here is the pump before:   Wish i took more photos of it before but i got to stripping it and found more junk...   Here she is today... 4 days of work and sanding and finally got it in primer. And who would have guessed it is going to be a Mobilgas Special pump!!!   Some Detail Work on the Browser label i hand painted:  Top was the worst and had all types of Bondo and flaking paint. I was able to get it smooth after chipping and grinding it down a bit:  So this is what i have been up to and hope to get some color on it this week is the wife allows! Dan

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it's going to look sharp once it's painted.

looks good & well done...
I'm not familiar with this model but is the red section on the side where the reset handle, is that the access panel to open the doors?

Looks good, Dan. If, I remember correctly from your oil bottle rack restoration post. You use aerosol paint cans?
