Personalized And Damn Near Vintage

Posted by 141drew Posted onNov 10, 2011 at 10:22 AM and filed under News & Editorial


I’m typically not into reproduction stuff, but my buddy Steve at Garage Art does it so damned well. Lately, he’s been lovingly working on a line of personalized garage hangers done on 24-gauge metal. They are available in a variety of sizes and designs. You can get more information on them here.

And yeah, Steve sponsors us here on The Garage Journal… BUT, this is an unsolicited mention. I just dig this stuff.

In any case, here are some examples:

Now that I might pop for. Nice. $149, a little high. You can get some through Summit HotRod - not quite the same of course - for half that.

EDIT - see now where you can get just the sign for around $75.

For a customize sign, I didn't think the $74 was too bad.....

interesting...... some day I might have to spring for one of those....

I bought one of his signs when I first found this site this past spring. Told the wife it was my birthday present. I now have an idea for Christmas.
:bounce:

The one I got was a metal sign, but I didn't notice if it was vinyl or painted. How to tell?
It looks good, I don't much care either way as it's inside my shop...

vinyl will look like a sticker on the edges. look at the edge of the sign and it should be obvious paint or vinyl.

Good size for the $ - 16" x 24". The first price I saw apparently was with the bracket and all - still decent after review. $74 for a personalized sign of that size is right in line, with most. These look better I think.

First of all, for custom stuff, I'm one to spend more, knowing it was done with a pair of hands I know about. However, while strolling through the Menards store the other day, they had retro tin signs for around $10. Here's the one I bought, along with a 1:24 '29 Ford I have no affiliation with Menards.

This stuff is all over the internet now. Nothing special & hardly vintage.

Cool.

Are these vinyl on metal or are they painted? I checked the site but it didn't say.
