I'm new but been member since 2019. Never posted anything just been reading and trying to get ideas on building a back yard Gas Station. Now I have it built I'm ready to start liquidating some things I don't need or have too much of and mainly stick with texaco items and pickup a few items I'd like to have to complete station. I worked for a texaco when I was a teen and always wanted a station. I installed a lift, a vintage coats tire machine and a bubble balancer. It has 6 porcelain lights inside and 8 outside that came out of an airplane hangar in Nashville Tn. that was built in the 40's. It' was built by pictures I collected over years. Never posted pictures of it before. So if anyone has any ideas for improvement please let me know. Really enjoy reading old gas.

That looks great! Always been a dream of mine to do something like that for a shop. Very nicely done. Oh and if you also have a Cessna 150 you could probably park that in the side bay
