Not to become known as a maker of weird, kitschy objects, but I recently come across this movie featuring yours truly in the process of building a custom XBox case about 18 months ago. It was a major group project by the staff at Curiosity, something we did as a gift for a good friend and co-worker who had cancer. I came up with the concept of old school fuel pump and built the case. Drew Anderson did all the wiring (and there was a LOT) and “hosted” the show, a parody of MTV’s “Pimp My Ride.” Many, many others helped out with the painting, film-making and acting. Scott passed away a few months later, but it was a way for us to pay some small tribute to him through this homage to his chief interests: classic cars and video games. It’s cheesy, but fun. 12 minutes or so.
The dial on the front is a dashboard dial pulled from a 1950s Cadillac, and the light on top is a replacement for a 1958 Cadillac. The gas hose on the side of the pump is actually the power cord.

Been a while since I’ve seen this one. Thanks for posting this.
I had no idea I looked and sounded like that, so much for being a male model….
