Art & Inspiration What is on your shop door?

Left over scrap wood that didn't get thrown in the stove.

 

Not my door but I wanted to take it with me when we did a walk through of a house for sale

Our backyard garage, during its life as a recreation, Rumpus Room...look through the rose trellis.

Hello,

This old 1959 photo of our converted recreation (Rumpus Room) shows the pre stage. The newly converted opening garage door was made by my brother and me when we needed more space to build our 1940 Willys coupe. We took apart, the standard windows and entry doors to install a garage door. During the time we used it for building our Willys, it had a wood finish with a coat of clear varnish. Later, after we were finished with the drag race scene, it was painted with an outdoor white paint.

But, my brother, in mid 1960, had this great idea of taking a photo of the Willys coupe in front of our backyard garage door (closed) showing the Howard Cam Sticker/Logo.

He told me that if the Howard Cam people saw us at the drags doing well, they could give us sponsorship support. The support would happen because, we had plenty of Howard Cam products, including the new 8 cycle blower cam and kit for our 671 SBC and an advertisement photo would do wonders.

We even went as far as a poster board cut out of the gears ready to paint on the wooden garage door. I was going to make the signature, black, Howards Cams Logo on the Auto shop overhead projector. That would also win points with the “gear head” instructor. The projector was the only way to make an accurate, giant, sticker logo for that wooden garage door.

The circle was the start of a Howard Cam decal. This was because my brother had purchased a bunch of Howard Cam stuff. We had a Howard blower ground, 8 cycle cam and lifters, an aluminum flywheel, SBC to LaSalle adapter, and two stickers on the rear windows of the Willys. We almost got a Howard Chain Drive Cover unit for the 671, but already had a new Isky Gilmer Belt Drive set up sitting in a garage in Los Angeles, waiting for us to go pick it up.

The sponsorship would have certainly helped in our next stage of the build and racing: 2 port Hilborn injectors, B&M stick hydro, big/little Halibrands, and bigger M&H slicks.

 

my wife painted this on the inside of the garage door behind the build area for my hotrod willys replica .

Screw the padlock I would lose the key.I have a Lilly And a Daisy.They are my rescue pit bulls that were abused.So they have a very nasty disposition towards strange men.Women and children are ok with them it's just strange men that they have a problem with.

 

The thermometer is the only artifact I know left from my Dads shop, "Snuffys" before it closed in 1964. I cherish it dearly. My shops a dump but there is some cool stuff on the walls. Remnants of a misspent youth!

 

...found this old sign all balled up after they took down an old building in town,..guy let me have it,..my dad used to work at the elevator,..one of my favorite signs...

 

This could be on the shop door.

 

I hang this above my shop door when I don't have it at car shows. It came from the BEELINE DRAGWAY in Arizona. 1970's.

 

Very nice !

 

There used to be a repo Coke sign on the man door. After low lifes ripped it off, I have nothing outside, all the cool stuff is inside

 

THAT SUCKS GETTING YOU STUFF RIPPED OFF. I KEEP DOORS LOCKED ALL THE TIME. WHEN I AM AT CAR SHOW WITH MY SIGN, I DONT LEAVE THE AREA. PISSING MY PANTS NOT GOING TO A BATHROOM AT A SHOW WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION. HAHAHAHA

 

Funny...not one person has KEEP OUT!

 

cobwebs, dirt and peeling paint.

 

Not a damn thing, I live in a place where its best not to advertise.

 

Mine....given to me from my kids....

 

Roger that, I have since added a High Voltage date test tag on the door. One window got smashed by a "Red Stripe" beer bottle, the others have expanded metal or window bars as seen everywhere in So. Cal. Same with the house.

 

LoL. They will never get it
