Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion A Wayne 60 I restored a few years ago

The rails were all warped from a fire so I replaced them with oak and had a lot of plating done on it.

Looking back I see it was a mixture of Chevron products

A WAYNE "WOODY"...cool

That is cool. Show us what ya got sitting beside it.

The only pumps I have restored or ever will again. too much work and money. I like a farmers restore job. Spray paint!!!

Both are long gone

That is beautiful. And Chevron is good.
Mike

Very artistic there sir ! I think it looks outstanding . Ed Shaver

Very tastefully done.
I like it!

Thanks for the 850 pic!



Larry

Good looking pumps. The oak really looks good on the Wayne

What is the story on how it was burned? Was all of the sheet metal destroyed too?

I traded a old cast iron U.S. letter box to a guy in Mullin Idaho for the burnt up pump. It was in bad shape but the skins were fairly straight. They must have been because I am no body man. It's been quite a few years since I did it. For some reason the rails were tweeked and a friend told me they were hard to straighten so I put on my thinken cap and came up with wood I think I did buy some parts but cant remember which. I remember I had to weld some parts onto the base where it was cracked and missing befor plating.

Seriously I didnt stop in Wallas Idaho on the way!! (it's a north Idaho joke)

GREAT JOB HILLSIDE! (golf clap..atta boy-atta boy!)

Beautiful job on the 60 and the 850..... if you can do work that nice forget the farmer spray paint restore.... you need to keep on doing the high-end stuff.
Depending on when you got the Wayne 60 you might have had to stop anyway. When did they take out that last stop light on I-90?
Something tells me that the Sugar Shack and the Oasis might not be there anymore....... say it ain't so Rick.

OUTSTANDING WORK!!

Being in the custom lumber business,I really appreciate the craftsmanship involved in doing something like that.So far I've limited myself to more basic work like bandsaw sign stands,map display racks and old barn siding display boxes.

That may just inspire me to do a 60.Thank you for the idea.

Love it Hillside. Did you bend the top piece of wood, laminate it, or was it cut from a large piece?

There never were stop lights on the Interstates, that's why they build the Interstate Highways.

Jack..... here's a couple of places to check out and I think you will find that there was one stop light on the interstate between Seattle and Boston.

Huskybob, That sounds like a neat little town.

I lost track of this post till now. I turned the top on a large metal lathe then split it in two. I work with metal all the time and it's nice working with wood every now and again. Bob I was too young to have spent any foolish money in Wallas. Did you ever see the two Wayne 60 that sat in front of a old building on a side street in Wallis. I remember it was the last stop light on the interstate or what evere you want to call it. Every now and then I see a stop light come up for sale that is claimed to be the last stop light, from Wallas
