Mopar shop/garage signs

LeesRT · Jun 22, 2010

Hey all. I'm new here. Not new to the Mopar world, but new here. I've owned a 69 Charger R/T for the last 27 years and have been a CNC programmer and machinist for the last 16 years. I've always loved the E-body cars as well. I just thought I'd post to see if you folks are interested in what I've been working on at work lately. I've been doing custom shop/garage signs for people. Everything I do has been requested by someone at some point. So far, most of what I've produced has been on the B-body Mopar side, but I have requests for Challenger stuff coming up. Anyway, I'll post a few pics to get some feedback from you folks. Thanks.

wow you're work is awesome!! Very creative and you're obviously good at it.
Personally, the 68 charger one is my favorite.
Although, I love e-bodies, the 68 charger has always been my all time favorite car.

How much does one of these signs run for?

So far the price on these has been $50.00 ea plus shipping to you. This was all based on using scrap in the beginning. I have a feeling the price is going to go up here soon since the boss is now having to dig into stock material to make these. We've been getting quite a bit of interest on these. So if you're interested in them, get them now while they are still $50.00 plus shipping. I don't know what they may go up to, but I'll keep you informed if things should change on pricing. Again, this low price was all based on me using the scrap that was going in the dumpster in the beginning . Thanks for the compliments on the signs. I do take requests on car models or logos people like to. I have a list I'm working on right now. Next car models include the 67 GTX, custom 1973 Charger, 69 Mustang, 73 Camaro, 71 Charger R/T, and a Duster (don't remember the year off hand). Some of these we are trying to show at a new web site we've created too. www.classicsfortheshop.com That's about it for now. Keep watching, I'll post all new things I do. LeesRT

Signs are $50.00 ea plus shipping to you...so far. This low price was based on me using scrap material going in the dumpster. We've had such a response that we've had to dig into stock material so the prices may be going up here soon. Next car models to be done include 67 GTX, custom 1973 Charger, 69 Mustang, 73 Camaro, 71 Charger R/T, & a Duster. I'll take requests for car models and car emblem/logos too. Again, prices are $50.00 for the moment, but they may be going up. I'll keep everyone informed. LeesRT

Hey all, just wanted to let you know the price on the signs is going up. I will honor $50.00 price to all who have talked to me. When we started this project, I was doing designs at home (not costing the company anything) and I was using all scrap getting thrown in the dumpster. We are now pulling stock material to make signs and I'm doing designs at work therefore, we need to account for this time and material. The standard signs we will keep in a library will run $75.00 ea plus shipping now. If you want something totally custom that requires a lot of my time, signs will start at $100.00 and go up from there depending on customization. I will bend over backwards for the forums to keep it as low as possible for you guys and gals. I know times are tough. Minor changes or customizing, I'm not going to nickel and dime everyone for any changes. Just appropriate charges for major work. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll work with you. I want this to still be fun for all of us.

I really like the round super bee one pictured above. How much would you charge for that one? If it is not already sold... Then there is the question on payment and shipping. I really like them. And 50 bucks for a nice custom made sign like that is a good deal for an addition to my garage

LeesRT · Jun 26, 2010

As I mentioned in the above post, the price just went up to $75.00 on the 23" diameter Super Bee sign and the 12" x 20" rectangular signs I've been doing, plus the shipping to get it to you. They come bare, so you will have to finish them to your taste (clear coat, stain, or paint). If you would like some testimonials from others that have bought the signs, here's a link to the A12 Super Bee site where there's a thread going on these signs.

more signs done and renderings on a computer of some coming up.

LeesRT · Jul 21, 2010

a few new signs to add. These are computer renderings, but they will be carved soon.

LeesRT · Jul 31, 2010

Here's a few other images of carves to be done.

A bunch of cars still to come. These were some different ones I was trying out. Have no fear, there will be some E-body cars coming soon. I have images ready to do the 70 Challenger R/T and 70 Cuda. Before I get there, I need to finish a 64 Plymouth Max Wedge car for Mopar Muscle and a few other B-bodies that I had already started. That's it for now.

More rendered signs done...next to machine

1964 Plymouth Max Wedge car. Here's a sign I did for fun for Stu Harmon of the Mid Peninsula Muscle Car Club. It's not complete yet, but here's how it looks so far.
