Picked up an old Alemite Workbench

[jeff000]

Amazing. Do want.

I have been looking for a couple days now to find another one, not so easy.

Well, looks like its new home will be with don long out in so cal. Looking forward to seeing how he fixes it up and works it into his collection! Thanks for all the comments and the "you *****" ;-) You guys are great!

DAMN!!!!!!!!! Both you and Don get "YOU **** AWARDS"

Nothing cool like that around here for a price the average Joe can afford.

Nice cabinet. You are fortunate to have it.

Just got home from a 5 day road trip
I went up to Wyoming to meet Bryan and pick up the Alemite bench
It is everything he said it was and I couldn't be happier

Thank you Bryan

Don,
Maybe I missed it but what are your plans for this one? I assume you'll restore it beautifully but which oil and gas company will you pick? I've always loved Polly oil and gas but I'll put in a vote for Gilmore Gas. I think the company was once called A. F. Gilmore but since you're from SoCal you may also know Gilmore was a significant cultural entity once:

I'm hoping to get another gas station in the near future!
I will make it a Gilmore station and this Alemite work station is set for that gas station

So red and gold is the planned color scheme, but I have a couple projects ahead of this one So don't hold your breath on this conversion

Ugh, that thing brings a tear to my eye. Absolute vintage perfection.

Fantastic! Please post a progress thread on the whole thing.

Whaddaya mean, "...get a new gas station"? Do you mean literally? You'll BUY an actual gas station and make it look like a Gilmore station? Did I miss something? Pulling my leg?

Go look up his party garage thread. He's seriouse!

 

[don long]

I'm sorry Dan
I understand your confusion
a while back I bought an old gas station structure
It originally was a Hancock station located in Barstow Ca
I restored it to become a Texaco station
These stations were considered prefab units
Here are a couple shots of what I am referring to
I hope to score another one to restore and assemble in my party garage

I had a feeling you would sell the bench to don long. He will give the bench a good home!!
