Cool shop sign . . . not sure how many GTOs they actually work on though.

Default Old neon sign in garage
I had my eye on this neon sign in a closed-up carburetor shop in the Humboldt Park neighborhood in Chicago. One day, I was driving by and saw an old man in his wheelchair
with his nurse outside the carb shop . . . it was the owner and I bought the sign and put it up in my garage!

Default differentials in home shop
I put these 3 full size pontiac rearends on a couple of inexpensive free-weight racks: they work well and can take the weight.
