Hello everyone. So, for the past eight years, I've been scouring the world (literally) for stuff to add to the walls of the garage and the stuff has just been piling up in the corner of my office. Finally, I had some time to wire up some signs and get them hung!
Sign from Starbucks - where I used to pump up on caffeine and sugar each night cramming down the book writing:
Lighted Yokohama sign - since we have the 962-110 Yokohama race car:
PORSCHE sign that I worked on lighting this week with LED lighting. That only took about 20+ hours. I got this one from here: https://www.elevenparts.com/automobilia.php#prettyPhoto - never quite seen any others like it, and I think they may be no longer available at this point.
VP Racing neon sign - just got this one a month ago - it's on sale right now!
This is cool - I have some extra leftover wheel fans from some of the race cars. I got some pegboard from Lowes and made a collage!
Admiralty Way sign, for those who know that well-known street down here in Marina Del Rey:
SHELL sign - this took a while to wire up with LEDs - I zip-tied them to the neon inside (which was broken in two of the letters). Looks great! These modern LED kits are amazing, and you can cut and solder them into nearly any pattern you'd like.
BORDERS books - well, this may be the rarest sign in the whole building. You can't find any of these anywhere any more. I got this one from the manager of the BORDERS up here in Palos Verdes - he hung onto it when they closed the store - it's been in storage for about 10 years now. I used to go to BORDERS all the time to buy books on learning how to program the website (way back in 1997, etc.):
And of course a photo of our latest addition, the 1969 M-505 Adams Probe 16, which arrived this week:
