Vintage Gas Pump Restoration

This "hobby" started in about 1990 as a project to accessorize my vintage hot rod restoration. Before long, we were in the vintage gas pump business with clients all over the world - including North America, Hawaii, Europe, Switzerland and Aruba.

Audette's Auto Body Sign

Audette's Auto Body in Worcester, MA called us when they needed a large electrical signage project for maximum visibility.
This was a fun project, due to the sheer size (each letter was 48" high, a total length was 84' long).
