Great job that brings back a lot of memories. In 72 I was 39, married with two sons, into water ski racing and using a 70 Ranchero to tow my ski boat. Retired from racing, swapped the 351 Cleveland in my car with the 427 medium riser (530 dyno HP) in my boat and went Corvette hunting. Loads of fun!!!!! He He He

That diorama is simply amazing, very inspiring. Makes me want to resurrect my gas station model I built about 5 years ago. Add a few cars and trucks from the collection and I'll be all set.

BTW I wasn't even born 'til November 24 of '72.

Wow Rob, that is fantastic! Boy, does it ever bring back memories. I was a junior in high school, driving my first car, a '65 Chevy Impala with a 327/300 and 4 speed. I don't even want to think about gas prices then . I love the diorama!

What's goin' on...

Well, I can tell you this. my D.O.B. is 8-13-72 if that helps. Good job on the diorama!

THAT IS AN AWSOME DIO, I was 17 and working in a clark gas station when all you had to do was pull in and say filler up. Those days are gone,gas was 21 cents a gallon and I could fill up my 62 Impala conv. for 4.00. The cool thing was,working at the gas station, I would fill my car up and then open for business with the boss.

This is really something of a masterpiece. I enjoyed spotting Kowalski and Jungle Jim on the street. I was not even born until 1978, but my car is a 72. Awesome diorama.
