Dave great pumps--- Did you make the skins ? Tom Tom- No, I didn't make the skins. A fellow that's been around the hobby for awhile had them made awhile back. I've had them for 3 or 4 years now just waiting to get all this going. His name is Walt Feiger. I don't know if he's got anymore or not.

You got two of them! WOW I would settle for just one, or a 1/2 of one. LOL... don't ya hate when you have doubles in your collection? I can help you with that! If you think that's bad, wait until the 3rd one gets back from the sandblaster! It really was a fluke how I managed to get a hold of 3 of them, but I promise I'm not complaining!

I will probably end up selling at least one of them. I don't know if I should do it before or after painting them. I might be worried that a potential buyer wouldn't like the paint scheme that I do them in, so maybe better not to paint?

Maybe just do a primer job on it and have it all ready to go. I for one, have thought about buying different pumps that have been listed for sale but they always seem to be done in a brand that I don't care for and it keeps me from buying. Not because the pump wasn't worth it, just the cost of repainting it in the colors I would want! JM2C

Wow 3 pumps. Awesome to see the progress. I am no expert but my suggestion would be not to paint at all unless you have a buyer and the cash is in your hand. No doubt even if you just primered someone would say they did not the type of primer you used.
Just my 2 cents.

Dave,
Your starting to look like the Henry Ford of gas pumps. Famous Henry Ford quote.......It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste. And Dave you ain't wasting no time! LOL....Looks Great!

Now that i have these kind of put together and able to stand on their own, they're going to have to go on the backburner for awhile. That G&B you may see in the one pic is the one I need to paint first. I can't decide what scheme to put that one into either!!

That sounds right. You got the pump mech and the top half of the pump went to CA.

OOPS! The Keeper didn't quite realize that we had accumulated 3 of these until she saw them all lined up in the garage. So as you might expect, you'll probably find a listing in the for sale section soon for at least 1 of them.
