A friend of mine owns a snow/ skate board shop in L.A. (Westwood Bl.) and needed some ID on his building. After checking out all of the usual sign shops- he approached me with "What if you could bend me up a Hot Rod sign in 3" and chrome it ?"
I designed the calligraphy, fabbed it up and had a crane co. lift it into place.
At one time he had the entire building painted in flames- I guess the neighbors made him paint it back to white ;(
He actually polishes up the chrome once a year
