    I've got some new Gulf V-belt measurers, a 70s Gulf "Pump" phone, a bronze Sinclair dinosaur which came from an award pen & pencil set I'm told. Also a glass "globe" with 2 faces, Flying Crow and Pegasus.

    No collection. Just a couple pieces to dress up the yard.

    I collect mostly gas pump globes from any company. I have a "few". I collect some signs as well. I also collect stuff from Sinclair and it's affiliates.

    Some nice collections. Right now I've just got a light up Texas sign. It needs to be wired and is about 2 feet in diameter. I also have a Mobil 1 sponsored race car hood, so I guess that kind of counts. I'm limited on garage space, but I eventually want to have the walls covered.

    Alright, I guess I'll post a pic of the new shop. I didn't want it to look like a plain metal building. I kinda like it, Just have to add on again already.

  28. ^^^^^Agreed; a very cool old building. The office area would make a cool showroom!

    (You posted pics of it a while back. Are plans moving forward?)
     
  29. Harms Way... I like your building, but I sure am glad mine came with a mechanic :)
