John, that is awesome! Did you do all the metal work and painting? And I like the color.

Several years ago one of the Marconi Brothers at Marconi's Garage told me they had one like that outside. Then one day a guy stopped by and offered to buy it. They took it down because someone could steal it by removing 4 bolts!

Have you decided what brand the pump will be? Are you going to keep it Chevron?

And I like Dino!

There was a Sinclair station near my house when I was a kid. I was fascinated by the big dinosaur.

I just got it off the Internet. I'm sure it's old. I don't even know if Sinclair is still in business.
