Faking a gas pump front

[CARS]

I own a building that was a Mobil station when I was a kid. It was built in 1948. Nothing fancy about it. A block building that I added onto about 6 years ago for my restoration business.

I have since shut down that business (at least as a full time business, I still play with my own cars) and am turning the office into a place to drink beer, watch tv, and play cards.

OK, the question. Years ago I straightened the tins on a gas pump and damn if the front wouldn't have been a perfect fit for the panel recess on my rest room door. I'm not looking to find any actual tins and a face to attach to my door, but I would like to paint one on and find some decals to simulate the face and Mobil logo for the late 40's/early 50's that may have been sitting on the island in the parking lot.

Any ideas where I can find such decals? Further more a site where I could find dimensions and pictures of the pump used when my shop was built?

I found a quick pic of the front. Like I said, nothing fancy compared to some of the cool old stations I see on this site.

ROFLMAO - you can buy a new "contains lead" sign from that site for $12. Go look at what the rusty ones go wanting for on eBay. I'm going to buy one and show it to the lady here in the junk store that wants $100 for hers.

I've bought several items from them for my garage. About as complete a selection as I've ever found in one place.

I've delt with Don on many occasions when it came to building gas pumps. Very helpful and he has everything you can imagine.

i believe i also used that site for my dads Gilbarco 98, and will also be using them for my Fry model 17. heres an unfinished picture of the pump, i have since then added sinclair stickers, still need to install the glass tho.
