One thought if you, or anyone, ever has to make a false/hidden door like that again. Allow the "leaded gas" plate to hang over the edge of the door a bit. And maybe some kind of magnetic latch. That way if the plate pulls close to the pump skin you wont ever see any gaps. With strong enough magnets you might even be able to put in a thin seal. Just a thought.

Like I said, looks great!!!


kinda like this? lol! finished this up yesterday..

loyd, stop by any time. you know you are always welcome!

ray, light pole is off a little, but these are cell pics (i'm lazy)& for some reason, tall thin objects get distorted. maybe because the lens on the phone is so small?

scott, epoxy, primer & clearcoat are SPI products, color coats are PPG.

thanks again guys for all the nice comments!

painted a few more parts over the weekend. got the "shell" of the green HC pump asembled. also painted one of the doors today & put the decal on/ i like to let decals sit 24 hrs before i clear over those to prevent them from bubbling.









i was pleased with how the hidden access door worked out.





a couple of "night pics"

Sunoco Pump had its day it was in the for sale section several months ago. Think it sold if it didn't fall thru.
