I've just finished my V56 and I'm looking for another project. I'm thinking about something small. Maybe a gas pump. Well really just looking for some ideas for something next.

I think you might have better luck at a gas pump forum, not being a wise guy , just suggesting

Lots of people here have petrol pumps and could advise... I think a pump next to a soda machine would be a fine addition.
Perhaps a vending machine...?

Spring is coming and that means gas ansd oil shows, as well as antique festivals.
Define Small, the globe mounted ones of the 1940's - 50's are only 5-6' with the globe, and parts are readily reproduced.
The early visibles of the 20's and 30's can go 7-8 ft.
They are a great peice for the man cave or game room when done.

yeah no taller than 6'. Small vending machine might be cool also. I thought I was fine saying gas pump in the Swap Meet Area. didn't mean to offend anyone.  |

Like Dave said, several of us here also have a gap pump, or restore them or collect them.
Ask away, we can save you a lot of grief, and we like to share our likes

I may have a "shorty" that I would be willing to part with. I think it is a Tokhiem 39 but I am not sure. I live in the Buffalo NY area.

Gas pumps and coolers go hand in hand...
your best bet is from the mid 50's .. something like a Tokheim 39, tokheim 300, Benentt 966. (google those for ideas)... you can usually find them for around 400-500 and parts are readily avaialbe from Gas pump Heaven or Vicks 66..

Or you can start off with a 1927 Erie clock face. This was my very first restoration over 10 years ago. It is still my favorite piece
