Thought some might like to see my "mancave" about done. I have several other rooms that are covered in smaller signs. Hanging neons is not easy but we broke only one small piece.

The Corvette flags are very cool!! Are they porcelain?

Thanks everyone. I have had a bad case of gas and oil fever for quite some time now. The corvette signs or made of wood and came off an old used car dealership.

The shell station has scaffolding type frame and then power coated panels that attach to the frame. The door and windows are just like would be found in a normal building that are supported by the scallfolding also. This was used at a classic car dealership and it went out of business. When I bought it it was completely disassembled with no "map" on how it went together. It took a good eight hours just to figure out the frame. Each panel had the screw holes in different locations so just trial and error and several 6 packs to get it all put itogether. The fellow I bought it from had it custom made
