Thanks, the stripes are led strips mounted on inside of aluminum channel, 1/2"x 1.5" i painted them green. Letters came from American Sign Letters.com and I mounted the leds behind them, stars came from hobby lobby, i should have done progress pics, sorry

Seeing those LED stripes and our family having a Texaco station back in the day, I’m rethinking my existing paint scheme.
For clarity, is this the how you did the stripes.
this orientation would look like real stripes

Or this

Did you have outlets up high in anticipation of installing these stripes. What kit did you use and the light color?
Stripes look awesome.

Wait, did miss the 5 window earlier? Went back and realized my CRS has kicked in.

Garage is looking great. The lights really set it off.

Looking back, I have some questions. What is the size of your garage and wall height? What is the size of the office? Last, I’m liking the split bays the more I think about it. What was the thinking behind having the one bay on the left?

Thanks

The more and more I see your place, the more I’m really liking your layout. On the clean bay, what is the interior width (office to end wall)?
Hard to tell on phone and you might have mentioned, what piping did you used for air drops?

The work bench will only enhance your space so looking forward to the reveal.

Thanks! It is 10ft wide and 24 deep, the office sucked up some valuable car space but I had to have it. I'm using PEX piping, read a lot about it, sad to say but pcv has worked for 13 years in my Auto repair shop and only had few issues in that time, i think the PEX is better than pcv, the crimping tool beats gluing stuff together.

Looks like a very cool place to hang out and work on project cars.

 

[shortykorte]

Thanks for the dimensions. My shop door is 10’ wide so I know what that feels like. Perfect for parking a a Deuce or a couple of bikes. Having the back part of the bay open I’m sure helps a lot. What’s the plans for the office?

I used Pex also when I found out PVC is highly tabu. Lol. Pex is nice to work with and after a year it’s still doing fine.

Real awesome shop @menifee I really dig the Texaco theme.

I’m just building my shop now and have found that Texaco has definitely made some of the most memorable/cool shop art. I particularly like this advertisement from the late 90’s/early 2000’s I saw at the pumps on my local Texaco when I was a child. Might get a print made or something.



It’s a nod to the french film “A trip to the moon” from 1902.

 

[mwbailey]

Very nice -- seems a bit backwards. Most people build a shop to construct a nice hot rod. Looks like you STARTED with the nice hot rod and then built a shop.

Fantastic job on both.
