Here's my latest pump I just finished.It started out as a Tokheim 300 and I added the National top that was origially porclin.I would like to find correct face plates for it down the road but for now it's fine.It did all the body and paint,I even tried my hand at straighting the stainless trim.I sent the handle and hose gaurds out for plating.For some reason this pump fought with me the whole restoration and I'm glad it's done and out of the shop.Now the fun part drinking beer and looking at it.

Alan I can get you the paint code in DuPont Centuri.I had the original top color scanned at the paint shop and checked it after they mixed it and it was right on.I will try to post the paint formula this week.

Wow - that is one very good looking pump! I know where one is on a farm but they are still pumping out of it so it stays... (I can not wait till it breaks)
