    Don, Sorry to hear about the bad luck and glad its behind you. I'm one of those guys that seems to find bad luck in 3's also. Thank God we win more than we lose and thank God it's REPAIRABLE! Hope this finds all the important things in life good with you...

    Great looking sign Don, well done (as always). On the Jack lens... failing finding a suitable replacement, know that making your own might not be worth it (obviously for those of us that "gotta have it", there's no compromise). Having made a few lenses, I would mill an aluminum replica on a...

    Putting the final touches on 3 wall speaker units. (these are reproductions that I pieced together over the last few years). These type of Jukebox speakers were 1940's vintage and HUGE. 2 going on my wall and 1 stolen by my youngest daughter for her "collection", LOL . With three children, she's...

    My indoor TEXACO gas station

    Wonderful work (inside and out)! To be honest, it looks like 2 fantastic movie sets to me. I think the wainscoting is going to look killer too. Congrats and enjoy...

    Hey Don, You do seem to hunt down some very cool stuff... great score(s)! We do share the same disease, but I certainly do not have the intense determination that you possess to hunt, secure, restore, display and share time capsules of history to the level you have achieved! :beer: Most...

    So the Texaco sign is up, wired and buttoned up for now. I may add a white backer board one day and move the stars to each side, but that's some day down the road... I contemplated using this sign on my Gas Station build project this coming summer (instead of another theme I was planning)...

    Hi Don! What garage guy doesn't like neon... LOL I'm so glad you dropped by, I'm just putting up this old Texaco sign and I've never seen these vintage transformers before.
