Just got this Gas Pump Finished before I left for Chicago-land.
My Father-in-law has a construction and paving business. It was started in 1951 by his Father.
My father-in-law turned 70, so we did a 1950's gas pump for his office.
We found a older picture of their first dump truck. I got my sign painter to hand letter the exact same style lettering that was on the dump truck door of their first truck onto the door of the gas pump. Painted it the company 2 tone colors. Turned out nice.

Looks great Shane! Love the old school phone number with the two-letter exchange. I grew up with a TUxedo phone number.

Nice Job Shane!
Can't hurt to get bonus points from the F-I-L.
My number growing up was a LAkeside (52) number - nice touch!

Thanks for the link John. Yes That's how we do it too, but still a royal pain in the @$$ LOL
I actually used a little bit of wd40 instead on windex and that helped slide the rubber...
Good luck on the tok.39 tonight. Hopefully I don't hear you swearing from Canada LOL
