Diner neon revisited
« on: February 16, 2012, 11:14:59 PM »
Went back to the diner i did just before Xmas... its now 99% complete. Few more Mustangs to go in, but im sure you'll agree, the place looks awesome... should be something for everyone here.
Upstairs is an arcade.. i fixed the Claw machine for him while i was there and then sold him an ACDC pinball ( well i talked it up and at $6K, consider it bought) which would fit right into this place... he has a TAF in exqusite condition that is being moved in and along the walls hand signed guitars from the likes of KISS, THE EAGLES, THE DOORS etc..

...Enjoy...

Amazing mate - Not only the Neon, but the whole setup.

..its a personal set up for parties etc. I keep telling him to open up a 50's diner... milk shakes, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, pinball etc. Pretty much what he has here but done commercially.
Place would make a mint

Wow, cannot believe that is a personal set up!

Would certainly make a great venue, trouble with going commercial is all the red tape.

He needs restored pinballs from the same period. Still amazing to think it is really a garage for his cars.

yer i had a feeling by the look of the setup of the diner it was a setup for a car collection not comercial, you see setups like this by celebs in the usa
