New website

[Zack]

I have been kinda bored lately with the cold temps and rain. So i have been playing around with a freebie website. Look it over guys and tell me whatcha think. I'm not a webmaster so this will be a work in progress, LOL.

Looks like a neat site. I liked the pictures and stories about each of the autos. WoW and look at all of those gas pumps. Looks like a fun hobby.

Thanks Jim. Yes, it was a fun hobby but, thanks for Evilbay and "Pickers" people think their stuff is worth billions of dollars not matter what condition it's in. Pumps i bought for 20-40 dollars, today the same pump people want 200-400 dollars for and it is just beyond insane. For restored pumps prices are more bit understandable and reasonable in most cases. I am referring to the unrestored ones. However, I still enjoy the old pumps, they are usually easy to restore and really dress up a garage.

That is cool. I have always wanted an old gas station to use as my workshop. If i had the money i would just build an old replica station in my backyard.

My dad had a garage built in the 50s after he left the Chevy dealer he worked for. Exxon, put a Tiger in your tank. Block building, two bays, one a wash bay with a 5' devider wall and the other with a lift. Office and counter space to the side with stoage room, compressor behind for hoses, belts, wiper blades and such.

Best time of my life and the first car I worked on was a '28 model A that our family doctor owned. He also had an XKE Jag convertible with a 6 cylinder, 4 speed. I learned to drive in the model A. Also where I learned the Trade. Dad would ask for a wrench, and if I gave him the wrong one, he would throw it back at me. Doesn't take long to figure a 9/16" from a 1/2" bolt head when you get hit by the wrong wrench. LOL

Wouldn't take too much money or time to build a fifties style garage,IMHO.

Yep, that is surely one way to learn the different tools. I am thinking selling my house and try to find one with a bigger backyard. If i do that then i can build an old station like i have envisioned. Of course, if the war department (aka-wife) approves it, LOL.
