I finally finished my lubester this weekend and I am really proud of the way it turned out. Not sure, but I am thinking that it is a one of a kind restoration in the Deep Rock Air Race theme. A special thanks to Dick Bennett for his help on the artwork and the decals for the sight glasses. Also to Jim at T-Way for his many revisions on the lettering and final decal design. I was questioning my decision to go with all the polished pump parts about halfway through the process, but I'm glad I stuck with it!

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments guys! It feels good when you get such great approval for something that your peers appreciate. A lot of you have been super helpful to me on a number of things petro the last year or two and I really appreciate it. This is really a great venue with a lot of genuine people helping each other do what they love and I'm grateful to be a small part of the group. The Mustang was my labor of love for about three years before I finally finished it and could start doing the petro stuff I have accumulated over the last 8 years or so. Here is my photobucket link to some pics of it in more detail. http://s652.photobucket.com/user/FYIFORD/library/GaryB%2069%20Mustang%20Coupe?sort=3&page=1

Bottles are next DB....They will look sweet next to the lubester. I'm brainstorming a special lighted rack to hold the case of bottles...but my brain has been mush lately in the design department...GB
Thanks again to everybody for all the compliments!
