Hey Tom...WOW!!! I like it!

Although we didn't have any Clark stations in SW Iowa where I grew up, I worked at a Pester Derby that was almost identical to these Clark stations. I'm really enjoying watching this build and will be anticipating more updates. Great job so far.

Wow, the oil cans are great!! The buildings look good, too!

Great station, and great seeing you here if you are the Tom I think you are. Great pics so far, and yes, that is a quite a size difference between the 2 stations.

It was great seeing you at the IPMS show. I hope things have vastly improved for you since our last conversation. Thanks for the welcome, I think I may just settle in here. Your avatar makes me cringe, my friend.

I thought that was you. Things have got better. I got a job at Kenworth. Bad part is we will need to move closer as it is an hour (60.2 miles) drive. Still have the Bells Palsey, even after almost a year. It is great to see what you are working on! Hope you like this avatar better.

Great news about the job! New avatar is less startling, but I'm surprised it isn't a Mopar!

I haven't really seen mention of this, but most Clark stations were offset from the fuel pump islands, never square to the pumps. And the long billboard was usually on the side of the property the station was on. Does this make sense?

This is sure bringing back memory's. If I could type faster I have a hundred stores from when I worked at a Clark station. We had a cigarette rack left of the door with a floor safe under it and candy bars to the right of the door. Keep up the great work this is a very fun build for me to watch.

After gaining access to an old station, some of the details have been cleared up. Other details will reflect what others have told me.

These items are made primarily from .040 styrene. The water heater is a stack of 1/25 wheels covered with .015 styrene.

More to come.

Nothing there but brilliance...
