Bought the original 3 car garage through a tax sale in pretty rough condition. It was a used car lot and repair from 1928-1970's and then abondoned.. I got it 7 years ago and just did one thing at a time.. It is alot of fun, and time..... thanks for all the positive influence. This is about 3 months after i bought it.

Here is a couple inside. My craftmanship is not as good as the pictures make it look, but I take pride in what I do. Thanks again for the positive reinforcement. Been in a slump here for a bit and it is nice to relate to someone else.

Hi Burry,
Very nice indeed.I particularly like the strong shop component.Service and TBA stuff has always been on my mind when I'm laying out a display.
With that in mind,here are a few thing you might consider putting on display in the office/reception room section.A can rack for quart oil cans,oil filters,spark plugs,credit card machine,restroom flange signs,and any secondary cans you like such as outboard oil,stop leak,radiator flush and so on.One of the neat things about Texaco is that they made so much with the logo to promote the brand.
Yuo have a really great facility.My thought would be to display things that it took to operate the station/shop.
That's what I try to do with my Texaco stuff.Visitors to my place seem to enjoy it.Best of luck.
