    Lightbulb Neon and Regular Tin signs

    Greetings!

    I’m currently working on putting some garage tiles down. Once I get done with that I’ll be looking into getting some nice neon garage signs and some of those old tins.

    I know those old tins get replicated to include the patina. I’m good with those.

    However, what are good neon signs to consider?

    I’m currently looking at these:

    What do y’all think?

    Old gas pump is a must...... and a vintage-looking Harley always is a nice addition.

    Man, these are some great ideas. Wish I had room for the gas pump, an old Pan Head Harley, and a Harley themed jukebox. I almost had the wife talked into the jukebox in our living room but the Harley theme was a deal breaker. Guess I have to wait until I add on to my shop and have more room. For now I've been hanging used racing parts on the walls -- don't have anymore storage space so I'm calling them "automobilia".

    NAZ -

    Another great idea if you are strictly looking for wall hangings is race car body panels.... the more "patina," the better!
