End of the school year progress on ERIE 71 - Mon Apr 19 2010 07:35 PM
Here are a couple pictures of the ERIE 71 that my class and I are restoring. We got pretty close this year, but I don't want to launch into straightening out the skins with only a month of school left. Track and Field and FFA take up a lot of the kid's time right now.
We ended up putting an original globe up on top, but we are still looking for the correct milk glass top for this pump. I'd really appreciate a heads up on a top for this pump if anyone comes across one.
I also am attaching pictures of the top the way it came to us and how it looks now. The green looks really dark, but is a dead stick match to the green on the Sinclair HC decals we are using.
Finally, I want to thank everyone that has helped us out on this project. The oldgas community is truly a great bunch of people. People have been really amazing as far as help, donations, advice, etc. so again, thanks to all of you.
