Title: Vintage Signs II
Post by: Ken Hamilton on November 22, 2010, 06:32:00 PM
I didn't want to hijack Craig's "Sign" thread, but it got me thinking that I had
these old photos taken in Anniston, AL. last year:

A JL Innovation Designs race car & a simple garage would do the trick for an HO version.

Hope the engine has been removed. That would make a heck of a headache anyway!

Hi, Walt:
The block's been removed but the pan (such as it is) remains:

There's not too much left and a stiff breeze would probably finish it off.

That's great... haven't seen one of those machines in years. I don't think I'd want to park my car under though... Is that an active business? The paint on the front wall and the doors look fairly new and fresh, but apart from the suspended racer, they certainly don't put up much of a front.
