Looks really nice - what is the material you used under the overhang that is shiny - almost looks like plexiglass from the picture?

Thank you! I used painted aluminum panels that my metal supplier has. The raised borders panels I made and had powder coated, I was thinking the powder would have been glossier but I'm cool with it.

That is a very nice porte-cochere to park that hot rod under.
Are you building hot rods for a living?
Your Texaco building is looking great!!

Nice start on your shop. Like the 5 window too.

The sign can, was that purchased new?

On the wall by the garage door, I assume the sunlight washed the green base out? Oh, going back and looking at pics, looks like office is green and shop area is a grayish color.

What are you doing for insulation?

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

That looks great. I like the green stripes lit up

 

[didit]

Very, very nice! That is really coming together beautifully!
You are living one of my dreams! Down the road from me there is an old re-purposed station from the '50s that I would love to take over and bring back to it's former glory. but likely will never happen. It still has the "look" with painted white textured cement exterior and rounded corner glass block windows.

My '30 A coupe does have this though.

The lights and sign look great
