That will look great especially with an island. Sure looks like a lot of work and fabrication ahead for those pumps though.
This link might help --->LINK

Slight thread diversion.
I was looking at your awning support posts and recalling the cigarette clips the gas stations had (Circa 50's -60's) on the light posts over the pumps. Since smoking was much more prevalent then, there were clips on the post about 7 feet high that the attendant could put his lit cigarette in to keep it safely out of the gas fumes coming out of the tank. I can't find any, nor even any reference to such on the internet...sure would add some authentic conversation pieces to your set up.
-----------------------
I'm sure Covid will squash it this year, but eventually Halloween will return normally and your gonna need these:
...but I think the bow tie needs to be Texaco red.

Thanks Shorty, we are a good ways from any fires this year, last year we could see flames. I'm staying busy, ordered an island form and started restoring a pair of Erie gas pumps, also scored a killer coke machine

Your “a little progress”, is quite a lot. Those are turning out great and will set the island off.
