Wanna see a 1958 gas pump that sings!!!

Hello again everyone. I figured it was time to bore the heck out of you all again by showing you all another one of my strange fabrications/ modifications/ customizations thingies that I did a few years ago. This gas pump started out it's life pumping fuel back in 1958 in the town I live in. I purchased the thing three years ago and while I was tearing it down I had a vision of a TV in it. I started out by doing some major mods on the thing and it ended up with the TV, a three disc DVD and a VCR in it. It was allot of work just trying to get the right components to fit in there but it all worked out in the end. I did all the body work, paint and graphics. I also had to make a filler plate where the large glass window was in the front to make it look right. Wanting to show you all something a little different I added a video of the thing working. I promise you that the picture is much better than it seems but I had to reduce the quality on the camera to fit it all in. This thing really makes a great conversation piece. A friend asked me why and the only answer I could give is "Why not". With the price of gas where it is these days I sing each time I fill up but it sounds much different than what's on this video. Hope you all like what I've done and thanks for looking. Paul
