Title: Finished a Bennett 1066 Gas Pump Post by: georgescustompaint on April 07, 2014, 10:44:44 pm 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. Title: Re: Finished a Bennett 1066 Gas Pump Post by: georgescustompaint on April 07, 2014, 10:45:25 pm another one..

Sign guy- one of my fav. Pumps too. But defiantly not my fav. Glass to install :) Takes lots of swearing to get just right lol Title: Re: Finished a Bennett 1066 Gas Pump Post by: SIGNGUY on April 09, 2014, 01:59:11 pm Have you used the string Trick to install Glass.. I've done it on the Bennetts and am going to try it on the Tokheim 39 short tonight..
here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=blaD0vgEUDU John Title: Re: Finished a Bennett 1066 Gas Pump Post by: georgescustompaint on April 09, 2014, 09:04:47 pm 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 Title: Re: Finished a Bennett 1066 Gas Pump Post by: Pat Pixley on April 09, 2014, 09:59:19 pm Looks Great Shane .
