took a little time today & fabricated the door in the pump side panel to access the switch for the lights. i made the door & hinge assy based on access doors from other pumps.







to make it blend in a little better since 96C's didnt have a door, i made it the same size as the "contains lead" sign. i still need to fabricate an inside flange for a weatherstrip to help seal out the elements & fabricate the latch, but that shouldnt take long. also painted a couple of the other panels tonight.

Steve looking fantastic!!

One thought if you, or anyone, ever has to make a false/hidden door like that again. Allow the "leaded gas" plate to hang over the edge of the door a bit. And maybe some kind of magnetic latch. That way if the plate pulls close to the pump skin you wont ever see any gaps. With strong enough magnets you might even be able to put in a thin seal. Just a thought.

Like I said, looks great!!!

Looks great...Fine installation.

Your light pole looks crooked - or maybe an optical illusion. I have one on that looks the same.
