Glad you guys got it back together. It looks great. I stumbled over the pieces in the paint booth for several nights while trying to prime some of my parts. Good job Mitch

Great job on the pump, make sure you commend the young men that help do this.
Thanks, Phil

Thanks for all the compliments! Those three boys worked really hard and loved every minute of building that thing. They've all become really attached to that pump and I think the owner may have a fight on his hands when he's ready to take it home!
The Erie 71 is getting close -- I can't wait to see done. These guys were all freshmen and 8th graders when my classes started on it and now they're seniors. Comparatively speaking the Fry was a cakewalk compared to the Erie.

I'm embarrassed that I didn't do this sooner, but I need to thank some folks for their contributions to the completion of this project.
I need to give Jim at T-way's the credit for the decals, and Ron Scobie for the gate valve handle.
The decals look great and they went on pretty easily. I sure wish I'd have had him produce the globe lenses as well.
All of the other reproduction parts came from Gas Pump Heaven and Vic's 66. I can't remember the name of the company that sold us the cylinder. When I get to school on Monday I'll find that out so I can give them some credit as well.

Very nice work! Do they want a nice clock face to work on so they can round out their skills?

The cylinder came from Time Passages. It is really nice, but if anyone out there knows of a glass cylinder for this pump, the owner would love to have it. Thanks again for all the nice comments!
