Gas pump island

[kabinenroller]

Last fall I paved the driveway to my shop and included an island for a gas pump display. Over the winter I restored a couple of Tokhiem gas pumps and built a light pole. Today it was 50+ degrees so I installed the pumps.
I am having difficulty attaching more than one picture so I will post a close up in my next post.

Looks cool to me but we need close ups. What about some "petromobilia" on the front wall of the garage? Any plans?

Here is a close up of the pumps. I had the decals custom made because ENCO is fairly rare and their is not much available for the brand.

Thanks! I planned to mount an oval sign on the building but I think it would be "too much" so the sign is hanging on the wall inside the building.

That look fantastic! I agree that adding a sign would be too much, this is simple and clean - nice work...

Too cool . . . . LOVE them !! . . .

Does the middle pole have AIR . . . like connected to air compressor ??

Did you include any electrical power so you could light up the pumps ??

 

[Sunbimmer]

The pole does not have air, the island would be too small for a separate ECO air pole. I kept the island just large enough to make it easy to access both overhead doors. The lights on the pole and pumps are wired to the shop timer which also controls the soffit lighting, everything is LED.
Thanks to everyone for the posititive comments.

I have another windshield service box and light pole inside the shop with a Mobil Gas Special pump. All the decals for the boxes and pumps were purchased from T-Way Graphics in Michigan.

We need to see this a little bigger. Nicely done.

HOTFR8,
Thanks for the comments.
Not sure why you are asking for, in my earlier posts there are shots of the building in the day light and at night. I can post what ever you would like.

We had Enco here in SoCal briefly when I was a kid. I'm 61 now you you can do the math, early-mid '60's I think.

Put me down as a big admirer of what you've done but I DONT think a sign or even multiple signs would be too much. Period correct of course. The Clean Bathrooms sign, a Coke sign or thermometer. Looks nice as is but I think it would evoke the era a little more even with some signage.

Super clean install, and that style of light fits the theme perfect.

 

[captain14]

are the pumps protected by an overhang from the weather?

Or how Does one maintain the pumps after all the hard work?

Love hearing about and seeing great restos like this, very nice!

Thanks!

Very nice job. Looks great!

The building has an 18" overhang and the pumps are within it's "shadow" I plan to keep the pumps waxed for protection but I also had them painted with an epoxy primer then the color, I then installed the graphics and we clear coated over everything. They are bolted to the concrete but could be removed and stored indoors for the winter if I decide to protect them from snow.
Again, thanks to everyone for the positive comments!

You are welcome. All I did was make the photo bigger instead of what you posted as it is easier to see your good work.

Beautiful work on your fuel island, Jim.

Very inspirational, sir!
