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...

HEY!... I'm surprised you have time to read other posts, did you fall off a ladder again??? :lol: Hope you're well...

Thanks guys, they're a tad heavy but not too bad. Here's some perspective for their size...

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...

I managed to pick up a similar gold scale you posted early on and I'll restore this ONE eventually, but come on... 20 now! Show some restraint Don, they're not Lays potato chips...:bitchslap You really do "have the disease" :thumbup:

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...

Thanks, here's the front of that box... These are some of my childhood hot wheels that we beat the begeezes out of, LOL... Just found my old "supercharger house" the other day too! That's about it for my old hot wheels stuff, sorry. Thank you, here's a couple more... My youngest...

Thank you, people think we're crazy to fuss over such silly things, but its what makes them great. Glad you liked them. LMAO! Not the case right now, but perhaps after my estate auction. :lol2: Hopefully I can expand the joint a couple more times before then... :rocker:

As promised, here's my Superman rendition... Just waiting on boots and color changing LED lighting to complete the ensemble. Good thing its the larger old phone booth... he's elbow to elbow against the glass panes!

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...

Well since I'm still here for another week, I took a few more pics for you. I wasn't trying to tease, honest! Here you go... My favorite piece of Coca Cola Advertising! (that's my youngest daughter 26 years ago)... A few more projects I brought home from AZ... And the progress...

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. I'll try and get you a pic of them later today, but they have 3 threaded terminals with nuts ( 2 to one side and 1 to the...

Lots of great threads here huh? Thanks for stopping by, I really need to post more but I'm usually in a warmer climate these months. I did manage to sneak back and get some stuff hung in the showroom... Unfortunately... its still too cold and I'm heading south again for another month! How's...

What a car-crazy world huh? I can't believe I got rid of a real muscle car (69 Charger) to buy a Big Bumper car in 1975... :dunno: Sounds like you went the other way and bought a 67 (the correct choice). When I found the 76 I ended up restoring, I paid exactly what I paid when I bought my 76...

So cool Steve... I don't do any formal tours, but am certainly available for the endless stream of friends that appreciate the old days and a cold beer! Would like to hear more about your machines too, so drop me a line when you can visit and we'll set it up.

Hi Steve, Yepp... all original 302 Original color was Frost Green with black stripes, but the Fathom Green with the white was a personal favorite, soooo... I checked out your you tube vid, very nice work. What type of lathe are tools for?

Looks like it worked so for those interested in the line up: from top left to right 68 Mustang Shelby, 66 Batmobile replica, 69 Charger, 69 Camaro Z28/RS, 56 T-Bird, 82 Corvette CE, 58 Corvette Fuelie from bottom left to right 69 Charger Daytona SE, 69 Mustang Boss 429, 76 Camaro LT, 70 1/2...

Thanks Brian, I'm flattered. All is good and I'm still plugging away. Haven't had the time to post much, but hopefully this spring we can catch up with that. Okay, tell me about your ride(s) and garage obsession? You're not that far away, do you get near TO for any shows? Here's a quick shot...
