thank you guys for all your support and prayers....it means alot to me.

as soon as it stops raining and the sun comes back out on me. i will get to business on the truck and keep myself busy..

my dad restored antique gas pumps/collected antique glassware. he was a typical junk man/ car collector guy .like most of us are.

the last thing he restored was a 1920/30's ford model A air compressor for running a jackhammer. the thing looks like it just came off the showroom floor.... i will get some pics and show you guys...he was very proud of it..
he even donated a fully restored ,one of a kind/prototype antique gas pump to the smithsonian museum.. said it was valued for around 10g's. if i can find the pics. i will post them

Sparky...im sorry bout what happened.hang in there. Were all here for ya. And hell yes. I loveeee old gas pumps.id love to see pics when u get to it.

Hell ya man post up some pics. I love seeing things that the older generation of builders have put together or built.

Very sorry.... Lost my Dad 6 years ago and it still gets me down....
I hope you find comfort bud...

sorry to hear about your loss..he'll be watching you finish your build-up...

thanks guys.....

its definitely been stressful the past week.. its a eye opener.. makes you look at things in whole different way..

whatever don't kill ya, makes you stronger..right?.

i am the proud new owner of a unrestored 1959 ford fairlane galaxy 500 ??? i will get pics tomorrow.

here are the pics of my dads last couple projects he restored..what really sucks is that we have to sell everything to pay for his funeral..

i may be wrong about the year... but this is a 1929 Ford model A air compressor used to run a jackhammer. it has a ford flathead 4 cylinder engine. the 2 inside cylinders are used to pump air. the outside one's run the engine..














this is the same compressor. not restored. but it runs and work good..


here is the last gas pump he done...im lmao... nobody would buy the pump at the last couple shows i went to with him.. they said if it wasn't a FORD pump, they would buy it...
i don't get it... my dads was always a chevy guy .. lmao

Wow! Really cool stuff! I see where you get you fab skills.
