CB Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Oh man, Ed! These here pix are bringin' back so many memnories! Wished I coulda worked at the Amoco station for 30 years instead of puttin' 33 years in at the steel mill. I was just about ready to get my inspection mechanic certifrication when I got the call to the mill.......and the self serve stations were comin'-- you could see it comin' to an end. Really enjoyed the pumping the gas & doin' the repair work. Yer buildem up really capturds the spirit of them ol' garages. I remembers puttin' many a tire on & off with that ol' tire machine You's gotcha a bucket of 'RuGlyde' handy to it?
george 53 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Ed, This bad boy came out GREAT!!! Ya need ta put a big ol 500 gallon bulk oil tank over in the background,so's my buddy Frank can put oil in his ol 64 T-bird! Won't say it burned oil, but it sure USED ALOT of it! It only cost about 20 cents a quart back then!!!! Great Job,Ed, it looks PERFECT!!!(I REALLY liked the WRAPPED tires! WHEN was the last time we saw THAT!!!)
roadhawg Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Awesome stuff, Ed. Like George, I'm diggin' the wrapped tires! You gonna bring this thing to the Southern NNL?
CB Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah, wrapped tires-- what a pain! I remember un-wrapping them suckers -- what a mess! and all for less than minimum wage! Bossman even told me at one point if'n I got me a haircut he'd pay me minimum wage ....yeah right Ed (dat was Bossman's name too ) I got a haircut, but it weren't good enuff Glad the tire makers quit wrapping them-- didn't make sense at me anyhow why wrap 'em, when they gonna be out in the mud & snow anyhows? How'd you do yours Ed (Bossman )

Then I got me some Chock fulla Nuts coffee and proceded to wrap dem suckas while listening to Michiael Savage on the radio. I did , I spose a dozen of em as he was a goin on bout the new book Banned in Brittian . I'm going to buy the book cause I like ole Michiael even thought I don't agree with every thing he says bout certain folks . Hope that answeres yer question thar ! Ed Shaver
