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).
