I like how he says it is very rare. Of course it is rare because he is the only person that has thought to hack up a V44 and make into a gas pump. Some people just kill me.

       There are so many empty shells out there and so few parts to complete them, I think this was a pretty clever way to display one.
       I especially like the way he positioned the window to fit where the top of the coin door was. I give him a thumbs up!  :happydrinkers:

If it was refrigerated and dispensed soda vs gas it would make sense.

I also agree! Very nicely done and looks cool. I have a 44 ready go for just a project like this. Although I'm partial to royal crown so I might change it up a bit. I will post pictures when I have a chance. it's nice to see people think outside the box. Remember the shelby refrigerator that sold for $23k at Barrett Jackson last year?
