Here is a pic of my Bennet 76 that I did a Texaco Ethyl. This actually has the Standard Oil bezel (window frame)...but I liked it as Texaco. I had an original globe and wanted to do it Ethyl. No one was making the decal I wanted at that time so I found some pics of an old Texaco Ethyl decal and had T-Way do his magic. I even did the "lead" sign in magnetic as well.

I have used rare earth magnets to hold original pump plates on and they are so strong, its hard to pry them off. I've never had any paint damage from them either! They're available in just about any size. I use some the size of a dime and they're very reasonable!

What I find funny is, a car wash is 95 cents and a gallon of gas 11 cents. Today at 4 bucks a gallon that's a 36 dollar car wash.

So, it's finally assembled. Looks great just need little tweaking. as you can see in the second picture. There are two sets of holes on one door. There was originally a Mobil sign and then a Texaco sign when i got the pump. When i had the doors painted i forgot to have the holes filled. My two ideas are, one get magnetic signs big enough to cover the holes or leave it so if i sell it the new owner can put what ever brand he wants. Any suggestions on what to do?
