Claim Text:
1. A method of producing a form for a gas station island comprising: a) forming a plurality of form wall members comprised of galvannealed steel, wherein each wall member includes an upper edge having a curled flange; b) mounting at least one first side connection device to an end of at least one wall member, wherein the at least one first side connection device includes a curved tab, wherein the at least one first side connection device is mounted to the end of the at least one wall member such that concave surfaces of the curved tab and the curled flange face a common direction; c) mounting at least one second side connection device to an end of at least one further wall member, wherein the at least one second side connection device includes at least one straight slot and a top tab, wherein the at least one second side connection device is mounted to the end of the at least one further wall member such that the top tab traverses the curled flange at the end of the at least one further wall member and provides a space between the top tab of the at least one second side connection device and the curled flange of the at least one further wall member, which space is operative to receive therein the curved tab of the at least one first side connection device; and d) mounting at least one leveling device comprised of galvannealed steel to at least one wall member, wherein the at least one leveling device includes a hollow holder comprised of galvannealed steel, wherein the hollow holder includes a passage that is operative to receive a rod therethrough; wherein, the plurality of wall members are capable of being connected together to form a substantially continuous wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface forming an enclosed chamber that is operative to support concrete therein, and the inner surface including concave surfaces of the curled flanges that face inwardly towards the enclosed chamber.
