1935 Gas Station Resurrection

[HD FLHX]

Love the Mopars! Yours?

Nope, not a Dodge guy. They were part of a group I opened up the station to.

I did pick up this old wood soapbox derby car a few weeks ago. Bit of a winter project, I want to repaint it with a Sinclair HC/Perry Oil Service theme.



A couple Mustangs I added to the stable. First was a 2011 Shelby GT500(red) with 5400 miles and then back in August I picked up a new leftover 2022 Saleen 302 White Label. They are both in hibernation now.

Hope @LXCam doesn't fall off his couch again when he sees these pictures...

This may be off topic, but I heard the news about the school shooting in Perry today...I hope your family is safe.

Yes, hopefully those who were injured are ok.

It almost hit close here. Their middle school principal is from my area.

It was a big topic at work today for sure. Some of my team live that direction.

All are safe, Thanks for thinking of us. Its a very unfortunate situation. I happened to be driving by the area as it was unfolding, as soon as I seen kids running to the neighboring armory, I knew something bad was happing. I listened to the majority of it unfold on the police scanner before they switched to private channels. This town has been through a lot in the last several years, we'll band together and come out stronger in the end.

I saw this eBay auction for a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge, and noticed that the car was sold new at Garrett Motors in Perry:
completed auction for Judge original sold in Perry

Came across this picture the other day. It was taken in 1969

It's been a long time since I done a photo dump....so here is a fresh batch of pics. Hard ro believe this will be my 8th year owning the building. I can honestly say I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it's been an enjoyable journey.

 

[HD FLHX]

And some more

 

[HD FLHX]

One more batch...

Well done!

You have created something special. I hope to visit someday.

Great to see all the cars that stopped for a photo op. What's going on with your own car projects? The work on them you did previously was impressive.

 

[Monza Harry]

I'm with @wasfast here! I just plain enjoy your exploits! Love the updates, yes even the Ford and Pentastar cars! The less mainstream the better! Please keep us upto date! And I to hope to visit your automotive mecca in person as well. Thanx for Sharing your inner sanctum, Harry

 

[Digster]

Amazing what you have done...

 

[dmittz]

Hello HD FLHX,

Not sure if you would be interested, but I spotted this no reserve auction for a Sinclair Dino statue and sign on the Bring a Trailer site:

[PugetDude]

The Sinclair station on the Apache Indian Reservation just south of Show Low AZ just switched to Marathon. Dino disappeared overnight, no one seems to know where...

My wife has been wanting one of these for our backyard. They are stupid expensive as I've found one here and there.

I have a question for you. Who is the maker of your 4 post lifts? I will eventually be in the market for some once I start my new garage build.

Looks like this poster is not real active.... I first thought is was a Direct Lift, but searching thru this thread, shows he bought it from Greg Smith an Atlas Dealer (who sells them painted black) as well as the part number he posted for the bridge jack is an Atlas part number.

I will try to find some information on Atlas and see what they sell. I have never heard of a Atlas Dealer on this side of town.
