Hey guys, I am still alive. I admit I am not the best at updating. I cancelled my art website due to lack of response and have had less time at computer to do updating. I have been doing tons of side job work the past couple years and starting a new side venture soon with another baby coming...

Thanks for the compliments guys!! My wife and I were blessed to have a lil girl this February. So I have slowed way down on projects to spend time with her. I haven't had time to update this thread. I have many more pictures to get put on here. I have gotten work done though.

Good info here. I'm getting ready to "rebuild" some for my garage like you did. They are from the Packard Plant in Detroit so I don't want to mess with them too much other than to function properly. I probably have 10 to hang up inside my garage and a couple for outside. Gonna run conduit like...

I like it!! What an upgrade. Good ideas executed!!

Nice post!!! I have been on the hunt for vintage GULF signs for over a year now. The price on these have gone through the roof. Found some deals here and there but they are pretty beat up. If I can't find a double sided dealer sign, I'll just make one myself and paint it.

I love seeing old barns that have been painted before. There is a local brick building that has handpainted lettering on it, still in great shape. When I had my duster I took some pics in front of it. I am planning on doing some hand painting on my garage, maybe this summer. When I travel to...

Re: Von Dutch\'s Tool Box Very cool post!! Someone lucky is in possession of that. What an icon!!

The whole design elements that are involved are amazing! Lots of thought and prep work are needed to pull of your results. I really am impressed with everything you have done so far. Subscribed!! Not sure how I missed this great thread. I love all the wood working.

It wasn't too expensive to do all the pavers. It was about $150 more than the concrete would've been to do the same area.

Everytime I look at this thread it just keeps getting better!! You have done some wonderful things in there. I love the theme and all the vintage tools that are being used!! Thats awesome. Keep up the great work and progress.

After I got all the rock packed to the depth I needed, I got some sand loaded up on the trailer for final grade. It went better than I planned. I used three different colors of pavers to try and dress it up a little bit. I had a pattern made up and went with that. My friend Dan came over to...

Yea, I will do a post when I rebuild the pumps. That'll be next spring. I have to gather some missing pieces first and get globes. I think when I get all done in the shop area, I will build some doors similar to mine for people that want one. It was a lot of fun and challenging.

Thanks everyone for liking my build. I finished up the driveway pavers. I'll try to post up the pictures tomorrow. It turned out well.

With a little muscle and help I finally got to see my vision of my dream "gas station garage" coming to life!!! I was so happy to get these boys installed, even though I'll be taking them apart next year to restore them to GULF brand. I bolted them down to the island because I was worried...

You sir, are very creative and talented. I have been admiring this thread for some time now, but never chimed in. Keep making well built and designed projects for all of us followers to enjoy!!! I'll try to keep up with this thread, there are so many great ones here its overwhelming..
