LOVE THE GLOBE!!!!!!!!!

You need an 8 Ball knob on that crank handle!!!!!
or a flashy "suicide" knob

The little scuff plate under the nozzle...have
"stolen from "so and so" OIL CO." stamped or engraved into it ... laugh laugh


I am doing this computer as a lark, it breaks the monotany of regular computer rebuilding and may
be the only one like this I do at the regular price, since it is so involved.
A little red, some silver, some flat black, a little chrome, bare metal....mis-matched wheels etc.
But there is an underlying reason for the paint/color scheme.
Some ideas for it are still on the drawing board.....it's the "piece of resistance"grin a pump like that needs.
A veritable hodge podge of parts from several different years & modles.
here is a peek at some of the wheels already in the nearly finished head.

You read my mind! Originally I was looking at a suicide knob but I think a 8 ball would be even better.
That computer looks cool and I still plan to have you go through the VR on my tall Tok. 39. Just haven't had any time to pull it out yet.
Thanks for sharing! wink
