I scored a old gas pump... well its not really old. It is a small gas pump and used to go on a above ground tank. I need an idea or something to use as a base. Here is a picture of the pump i got mounted on a pole stand and is pretty much what im trying to recreate only different color. I got lots of pipe i just need a idea for a base. I was thinking of a car a old 16 inch smoothie wheel i got but i think it would be to light.

yeah was thinking about making a flange to weld a pipe to for the leg and use some bullet lug nuts to bolt it to the wheel
 
Whats the matter with it like it is.... do the kids try to get gumballs out of it?
 
Yep, a 45 or 90 finned aluminum Buick drum would look great, and with the steel inner liner they are heavy and hard to tip over. Bead blasted and with chrome lug nuts it would look cool.
