it was a big learning curve and took ten times longer than I ever thought it would but I finally finished my 1st pump. I went back and forth on what theme to do it in and came up with my own idea. very happy with the way it came out. tried to use as many original parts as I could, and pieced together an original globe I bought from members on oldgas. a huge thanks to brady bowles(1petrofan) and tom buckles who if it was not for them I would still be hunting for parts. scott

Too cool, the night I post the beginning of my pump adventure you finish yours. Hopefully mine will look half as good as yours one day, congrats!

For your first pump you knocked it out of the park
Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Nice job. I wish I had some older era pumps like that. Somehow I have accumulated a whole garage full of 40-50's Tok's, Erie's, Wayne's, and the like. Oh well, guess I will have to start filling back in with the older stuff as I finish these....you can never have too many...right?
