I keep adding stuff to my shop porch/gas station like the oil cans in the windows, Quaker State thermometer, Coca Cola thermometer, old radiator water can,Pepsi Neon and Pepsi screen guard. I'll get a screen door as soon as it warms up again here. I'm working on my Sunoco Pump that will be on the porch next to the Esso pump, cant wait to get it done. Enjoy!
