Ok I managed to scratch the electrical conduit so that is drying. Holy cow that was a back breaker, knuckle and finger bleeder and I'm sure all the sanding I did spead up my arthritis by 3-5 years but all in all I think she looks pretty neat. I was going to have somebody come in to airbrush the shadows on the tube and scrolls but after spraying it I found out that they give enough natural shadow. The little red 61 in the backround is why I am starting to sell as I will need some room to work on that and maybe a few dollars. I hear early vettes are REALLY cheap to restore:)

Wow! What a restoration effort. You sure have a great taste in dealing with rare pumps. I see a BENNETT in the background ... I take it you got help from your neighbors to move the Roman around the shop  A finished picture of the vette by the Roman would be spectacular.

No help moving it:( My wife just passes by and puts her five cents worth and leaves. I actually have the chiropractor bill to prove I move it.

Great looking pump turned out super, I think the nickel was a good choice. This pump shines without the chrome. Lot of the local bike builders here have been doing a lot of nickel, and it looks more aged authetic.

She may be making her way to Ebay and or maybe an auction. Again hate to finish all that work and sell but I can't drive her to car shows like the Vette.
