 biggrin biggrin


C'mon... I'm married with 3 kids... what did you think... laugh

Just as exciting though... picked up a pair of Script top pumps tonight.. One MobilGas and one Mobilgas Special!... the Mobilgas special top is an original NOS Top, It's metal (not fiberglass like the repops) Lettering however is repopped in the Special but still very cool I think... The regular Mobil Gas has been painted all one color, script and everything. so Looking for tips on how to remove paint from plastic without having to do any sanding or heavy rubbing.Huh? any thoughts?

Thanks for letting me share... this almost puts the count of Pop Machines and Gas Pumps about equal now..

Those are nice, I screwed up a few years ago and passed on a Mobil script top at a swap meet. It was just the top and had some rust out of the very top seller wanted $150.00 for it. Live and Learn!

Yeah, the tops alone bring serious money... I've sold 2 script tops already, didn't want to but had these people kept stopping by asking how much., one guy was persistant and I kept saying Not for Sale... he said EVERYTHING is For Sale... what's your price... I named double what I had in them and he loaded them up.?  jawdrop wasn't expecting that , but made some money and these are practically paid for already! biggrin  I LOVE THIS HOBBY!!
