ok... but may main priority is finishing my REO as seen here http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141512

I just looked at pictures that i had found on image google and used them to size up the "close enough dimensions" that i used...

Very cool!

thanks guys! i just found this post on here that has a pole mounted sign, might help in my pole making... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=247312&showall=1

not sure if I am going to hang it inside or make a pole stand like my Conoco sign http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96692[/ Here it is off of the sign and ready to be painted before i put it back on.

We had Texaco stations here when I was younger...

continuing on with the border, up on sawhorses, Used 2" X 1/8" flat iron. then welded the flat iron even with the top edge of bracket. using the two small clamps to hold it as i progressed around the sign.

It's double-sided although one side has tar on it and barely make out Texaco... i'm going to make an outside border for it to strengthen it a bit it is heavy but very wavy. Second pic shows small brackets i made. Then bolting it to the edge of the sign.

here is latest setup using nova rear shocks. had to raise them 2" to get in middle of shock action, under full load it will be fine.

So this rear suspension setup was so stiff that i could jump on back bumper and it didn't budge... so i had to redo.. see next post

Wow they look like they are n great shape!

I use a small pellet stove to heat this all last winter and I only have one layer of the insulation on the ceiling and I used one and a half tons all last winter. with the current weather, I have only lit it once this year... crazy to be wearing t-shirts in Montana in November.:headscrat
