Default My early dads day gift

I wish I could show you guys what my wife got me for an early dads day gift. She and I cant figure out how to post photos yet so she e-mailed a photo to a friend and he posted it on Team Chevelle for us. But anyway it is a 1955 Texaco gas pump thats been completely restored .Its really cool and Ive always wanted one but wasnt willing to pay what they are worth. She got it at an estate sale we went to Saturday .I would not buy it for myself so she decided to get it for me. If anyone volunteers an e-mail address and will post it I will get her to send it.

Congrad's Flash!! Yep, those old gas pumps are very cool but also very expensive. My I ask how much did it set you back?

John, sent you a pm with my email address. When you post a reply or new thread scroll down below the message area. There's a button 'Manage Attachments'. Click on that then browse to the photo, wherever you have it on your pc, then click the button to upload. You may need to make the picture smaller first. 720 or 640 width is usually pretty good size. If you don't make them smaller they won't fit on the page, plus it wastes a lot of grumpy's storage space.

You don't have to be tech savvy, just find a good friend like Hank who will walk you thru it.
