my gas pump project is almost complete now...

[tredboy]

started out with this, it's an amatuer restoration, but it was pretty cheap, and it's a Martin & Schwartz, so it's older than 1952.

i came across another cheap pump, a Gilbarco, and scavenged the face plate and the nozzle/hose off of it to put on the M & S, and sold the Gilbarco for what i had ******* in both of them.

 

[tredboy]

i finally found the correct hose outlet and scored a N.O.S. brass nozzle.

i installed the outlet this morning, and for those of you here that have taken apart one of these things, you know what a pain in the *** it is, it's like a giant 3D puzzle...

here it is now, i have about $200. ******* in this including the new glass and seal for the door. i absolutely scour the local ads for this kind of stuff, so this was not all me, there was a bit of luck involved.

Nice!

That looks great. Amazing it only cost you $200.

 

[spudley]

I'll give $201.
That looks great! Good job.
