 you should bring it back to life, it's cool.

 running and painted, it will be a good show piece.

Back when there was one at every gas station as an air bubble.   I heard they of spun stainless with that wrap around them,  lots of surplus available then.

I might do that, won't be hard... A new motor, pulley, and V belt and it should just work. I don't know about painting it, though... It might be cooler if I removed the paint entirely from the tank, or maybe painted the tank and left the ribbing bare, would be very retro :3

There are tons of them on eBay, all of them over $100, so, I guess I didn't do too bad...
