Looks great!!! Love the roof and windows...Nice Period Correct Station

looking good cant wait to see it done

Looking good Rick! I have some spare parts for the Vulture 157-J twin pump on your island, if you need them. A super rare pump for sure! LOL

I like that looks great

Maybe I missed the first part of this story but I'm interested. Is this an old station taken down that you're reassembling or are you building it from scratch from salvaged pieces. Just out of curiosity, what size ( length and width) is the station. Actually have an old shed outback I'm considering renovating into a station. It is 12' wide and 16' deep. I'm a little concerned with the scale of the 12' side being the front.

Yours looks great. Can't wait to see it complete.

This is how the station sat for over 50 years while not in use. I found the demolition permit from 1954 for where it sat near downtown Spokane Washington.

Thanks for the information. Very nice project.

Rick: I am heading to Spokane for a career fair at Gonzaga this week. Shoot me your number via PM and i will try to come see you if you want. I stopped out to see you last year when i dropped off that pump.

What a great thing your doing saving a piece of americana...good for you and future generations!

looking good. Thanks for the pictures

That's a cool picture of the station in the wild..

Great to see you preserving a true piece of Americana!!Keep up the good work and keep us posted on the progress.

That's going to be nice, keep the pictures coming.

Looking good! do you have all the roof pieces? do they get painted? Going to be well worth the work! sweet place to put all your good stuff! tt

Don't forget to insulate & stock-up on TP, will feel better after wife throws yur A** out [for putting too many pumps in the house]!

Ah what a wife! She likes it. I have 2 gas stations out my front door.I do have all the pieces except a 4' square part of the roof in the back.
Yea Owen I am looking for some of the upper sheet metal and globe holders for a Vulture model 157-j double. Ive been thinking if we ever get any lake property this station would make a nice cabin by the lake.

That pump sure is different, any photos of what it would look like together?

I really wanna do this! Will be watching this thread.

I have never seen one together
