Mac - the pump looks great!
As you learned - quality takes time. If you don't spend the time on the work under the paint, the paint won't look good no matter how much you paid for it.
But it seems like you enjoyed the process. I sure do - it's kinda relaxing to just work on something with no real set deadline. (But next time - take the girlfriend out a couple of times during the process!
)
Keep up the good work!
Later . . .
Jim
