I was driving up from RockPort for the Forth and found this in a small town at an Antique store.. Plan to restore it with a Ford Theme..

Last picture will be the look I am going for..

you lucky dog! i really wanted one of these for the new shop when remodelling after the fire. finally found a complete one with the end cabinets & all for a fair price, but shipping from out west to tn was the dealbreaker...
 
This one did not have the side cabinets although I wish it did, but the price was right. Without the cabinets, it still looks good and will fit in the spot I wanted to put it.

Below is the gas pump I just finished...working on an ECO meter as well...

Trying to get the garage finished...

the cheapest I found has been $800 for a pile of rust. They are generally way over a grand for a decent one around here. My wife and I like to go "junking" and I have yet to find a good deal on one.
 
guess you forgot where these were....

Actually, you just hit on one of my recent issues in life. We sold our home of 35 years last month in the San Francisco Bay Area and have moved 140 miles north to the foothills east of Sacramento in Placer County. Anyway, the old house had a three door workbench built into the garage painted Ford Blue with a big Ford Oval on the two outer doors and a huge Mustang running horse on the center door. I owned a sign company for about 15 years, so the lettering and logos were something to do during down times. When we moved my wife told me I should take the doors and build another workbench around them. The new house has a great three car garage, but I don't think I'm going to build another permanent workbench, and I'm sure not going to pay some sign company (a bunch of goniffs!) to do the vinyl in four colors (red, white, blue and silver). I've got a ton of steel shelving units left over from the sign company, so I guess I'll build a couple of them up as work benches rather than shelving. BTW, the three car garage is GREAT!
