I spent most of my summer working on the driveway its finally how I want it just have to finish the inside edge's with field rocks ands it done.

I found a new addition for the shop I hope the have it restored and up before winter. I am looking for information on just how old it may be I also have a second one I was going to put up also but don't think I need two. I think I will be selling the extra one I can sell it as is or restored.

The airbrushing looks fantastic! Great resto so far and good luck with the Texaco sign, it looks to be a fine addition.

Awesome place!

Quick question, on the last pic what is the purpose of covering the base for the sign with hay stacks?

I wanted more support were the sign had been rotted over the years and I needed to turn it a bit to make it square to the building. The barrel moved and I didn't catch it in time worrying about the cold, making it level and keeping the water out of the hole I missed that it had turned a bit in the hole. I had the plate with the supports already so I just added the pedestal to clock it better and make it face the road the way I wanted.

super bitchin shop you've got.... to say the least.

And, from the look of the cars you've got rollin' around in there, you take some serious pride in your work. Thanks for "show'n off."

Awesome place! I like how the ceiling brightens the shop. Sweet job on the office mural too.
