    Joe, Great work. I see a lot of items and petroliana that I haven't seen in any of your previous posts. I guess you have been shopping. Phenomenal!

    1935 Gas Station Resurrection

    Joe, The lighted pumps and island light look fantastic. Suddenly it is 1950 again. Now all you need is a vintage paper towel cabinet and squirt bottle on the lamp post. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-gas-station-windshield-washer-154460716

    1935 Gas Station Resurrection

    Hey Joe, What is with the jack posts on the beam before the bay where the Ford truck is? Do you have some sag there? Maybe putting in laminated engineered beam is in order? The truck and sign look great. If you put the sign outside, give it a good coat of car wax. I have got to get to...

    Joe, Can you elaborate on the front suspension on the new truck? Control arms look like they are from a kit. Great work as usual! Thanks for sharing.

    Joe, Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING looks great! You should feel a great feeling of accomplishment and preservation for future generations to learn from. From my point of view, you have gone above and beyond to include everything that is "period correct" for the times. Now next big...

    1935 Gas Station Resurrection

    Joe, Your "Master Craftsman" talents are definitely showing again with the Customline and continued station restoration works. I still say that you or someone on this forum needs to find a way to get the Sinclair company executives to take notice and pay homage to all of the great work you...

    Hey Joe, Great finds as usual! Have you thought about putting together a collage of pics and sending them to the Sinclair HQ's marketing communications department? I bet they would be so flattered that you may get recognized for your effort. How goes the car projects, haven't seen any...

    my one man repair shop

    That is a great photo of inside the ICE shack, or whatever you call it. The next one needs to be picture of all of you guys together.....one that you can hang on the wall somewhere. Way to go. I agree with the memory statement. Remember you only have about 18 years with your kids before...

    my one man repair shop

    The welder looks like a nice unit. Make sure you keep the receipts / manuals of all of the shop equipment you purchase in a safe place. Also you may want to check with an accountant and tax man to see how you use these investments next year at tax time. I am curious, I know that most new cars...
