"What would you do with this ugly wayne 60?"
I'd say you made a very good choice as to what to do with it!!
Looks great!!!

if these pics work. some wont go through.
I used the back door that came with it, kept the nice sight glass nuts, light switch, shoulder, reset crank. this reset crank was snapped in 1/2 so I ground it down and JB welded it. let it sit a few days, sanded it quick and had this cast iron paint and it looked great. too good for the pump. kept the inspection door and knob and made this one.
the original tag was upside down and green, this tag was off the first 60 I ever restored and I wire brushed it on the wheel. 'ruined it. so I shot it with semi gloss black sanded the letters off with 800 and it was a 2 minute deal.

I'm confused, how did you paint it and leave the rusty spots?

I'm confused, how did you paint it and leave the rusty spots? that's the easiest. I sanded the big hunks off with 80. washed it and scrubbed with a scothbrite pad. then grabbed a big jar of Vaseline, dipped my finger in and got a blob on my finger and dabbed it on the rust I wanted exposed, painted it with satin paint, let it sit a day or two. wiped the Vaseline off and waalaa there it is. much easier to dip in the Vaseline and use the big tail that hangs off your finger and lay that down where you want it. -- a terrible messy job to do. get A LOT of rags if your going to do it and throw them away. I ruined a bunch of good rags and wasn't about to use the wash machine to eash them. Vaseline is tough stuff. it fights back when you try to wash it. I used two different yellows a little here and there. and the orange didn't like the yellow so if I went over the wet yellows I got a little reaction and that worked out nice.

im sure that tag was upside down since day one. leads me to believe the assemblers at wayne in the 30s couldn't read or write. - I don't remember if I had 'I think a wayne 70 or someone else had one with an upside down tag also.

Nice save. Would be a shame to see the Wayne get crushed.
