Jeff. Very nice job. I found a similar old station here and my friend had it transported to his warehouse location. Originally, it was Cities Service and he had it painted green and white. An art gallery did have it painted purple/pink. Looks a lot better now.

The reason i Googled this was my visit from last weekend. I have a Sinclair Pump outside of my garage that I restored 12 Years ago. I will attempt to submit a picture that is not so good as my camera was damaged and out getting repaired.
Another Pic I will attempt is a night shot that we took after a long day of Shooting Nothing but the Beer cans we consumed.
No harm we are just smartasses and do love the job you guys did!
