AND THE REST OF MY "BOTW'S".....




WAS PRETTY CLEAN ONCE I WIPED IT DOWN WITH SOME "409."


THIS ALSO CAME WITH THE STATION, BUT IS "TOPPER" MFGR AND A LARGER SCALE.


A PLASTIC 6' X 2' SUNOCO SIGN AND


A 4' SQUARE PLASTIC GULF SIGN BOTH WERE PART OF A TRADE FOR SOME PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK RENDERED.

THANKS!

DOC @ TAG/EAST
YOUR BOTW HOST!

Doc,
I will be away from the computer tonight. If you could post these for me
please. I bought 4 pumps and some signs in the last few weeks. I think the
Dutch Boy paint sign is cool, I am going to have it repainted to original.
The cut 70 is also pretty neat and 100% complete. Thanks for posting. I will
send 2 emails so it is not so large.
Phil

MORE FROM PHIL.....

Here is the second email. Thanks again my friend.
PS. The guy in the first picture of the first email is my dad Leon McCauley.
He finally got user name and all to use this site. He is the guy that all
prayed for on here about 15 months ago for his triple by-pass surgery. He is
now about 30 pounds less and very healthy and active. You could make a
mention of that and thank everyone if you would like. Keep up the good work.
Phil









THANKS FOR SHARING, PHIL! ~DOC

It was a fairly "standard" week for the poorman, if you get what I mean.



Picked up some great gas geek photos too and they were FREE!

Dang, those lights are nice... They're identical to my last week's BOTW, but better shape... So that's what those threaded holes on the top are for...

Wes
