Thomask asked:"Can you show us any pictures you took in progress"
Sure thing Thomask. Here are some shots of the build process. It was really pretty easy.
Yes, there are two lights. One on the top that illunates the globe and a small led light that gives light to the cabinet inside. It came from Lowe's and fit's perfectly.
Here is the pump as it's being disassembled. Warning!!! don't use a torch to cut anything, there may be old gas in the lines.
This is the frame work from the pump that will be reused.
I made new front and rear panels. The front has the opening (with glass recessions) and the back had nothing but a hole at the bottom for the electrical cord to pass thru.
The framework was coverering with red oak panels that were inlaid with the shelving tracks. Four of these were made.
The inside was lined with 1/8" red oak plywood, then stained.
Everything is held together with hidden bolts. A red oak floor will be added at the end.
The reassembly has started after all the body work is done and everything is painted. The side go on first.
Notice the light at the top for the globe.
This is a shot of the top light.
This is the LED for the cabinet.
Glass door was cut and mounted using shower door hinges. A magnet latch was used to keep the door in position. I added a decal at the bottom and some pin striping from the local auto parts store.
Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for the interest.
Cheers!
