Mikey...... give us an address to send the money to..... I'll buy a couple, but put your freinds nephews name on them.... and I think that if you are able to sell the 250 tickets nobody on here would be upset if you printed some more.... it is for one of the best causes...

Hey Mike! Do you need help picking the pump up MON. I have a truck and i'm not working,if you need help let me know.

LMAO!!! i got the pump home...LOL can anyone help me get the pictures posted...you guys have to see this.... picture a 265 pound biker in a 2 seat miata with a gas pump on the passenger seat, top down in the rain and it's 45 degree's....LOL. needless to say i got some looks!! but it's home...i guess if you dont have a truck, you make due with what you have..LOL
the guy that gave me the pump told me i would never get it in, so i asked if he wanted to bet another pump...but he declined. LOL...funny stuff
it looks like we are a go, so i am happy, adn gonna hopefully have it torn down and at the blasters tomorrow. i will get more pics as we go.
take care guys,
mike

I had to stop laughing before I could post these pictures. That's some creative pump hualing Mikey.

Here's the project pump at home, I saved the best photo for last.







Next time you have to do it in a Mini Cooper! Put me down for some of those tickets too, I want you to deliver it to me in the Miata.

mike, count me in. my son died at age 21, i know what the family and friends are going through. i will send a check to vics place or any resto vendor of your choice to cover replacement parts etc. if i can get off work, i will trailer the roadking and hookup with you. keep the spirit, rich...

Hope you didn't get pulled over for not having you passenger's safety belt on!

Mike, Where thers a will theres a way. I about fell off the couch laughing at that picture. I think it qualifies as my new wallpaper on my computer.

Hey Mike can I borrow your car to haul this visible I bought the other day,OK just joking,that one will be hard to beat.Steve

RIGHT ON. CHEESE

LOL...you guys like those pictures?...LOL

well first i want to say thanks to terry hubert for getting the hose and globe ring and contains lead sign for this pump.

and steve, you would be amazed what i would do for a good cause...LOL you want to see a visable in a miata...it's gonna cost ya..LOL but i will do it if i have to...LOL
and thanks to the others wanting to be in on this pump, weather it be parts, or raffle tickets, or just support. you guys are awsome.
i will have a list of the items i need to finish it by the end of the week. it's realy small stuff. with the exception of the hose guards, and the tokheim trim at the top. (which i only needed one of, but i got a little excited when i was tearing apart. needless to say i need 2 now) don and lynn have offered to help out by matching other veders prices, and helping with shipping and all...thanks don, and i told him i would order the items that werent spoken for by the first of next week.
off to the sandblasters here in about 30 minutes, hopefully the frame and base will be glossy black this weekend so i can start putting it back together. i will get pics and keep you posted.

Mikey,
I have two original Tok 300 trim pieces for the pump and your welcome to them. Only thing is the mounting screws on them rusted off. The trim is in excellent shape, you'll just have to put new screws on it. I also have some original hose guards for this pump, they are a little rough, but probably usable. You can be the judge. Put me down for a couple tickets and let me know where to send them.

Make sure if you auction or raffle it to include a 8x10 of the Miata Pic..!!!

THAT, Northern Frank, is an excellent idea. I LOVE that photo...where theres a will theres a way. LOL

if anyone has a logo, or company name, send it or a letterhead. i went to a trophy shop and am going to have a small plaque engraved with all the names of those who helped. i will also thank ALL THE PEOPLE AT OLDGAS.COM for the help and knowledge they have shared. i think it will look better than putting all the names on the inside then clearing over em.
ok, i'm off to the printers to see about the raffle tickets.
take care guys,
mike
