Re: Special 1946 project

so after welding on the peg board and trying to heat shrink it I decided it was not going to look as good as I wanted. so I made the decision to build a new one. Take a guess at how many holes are in the pegboard. It was an experience building it being my metal brake has a capacity of 50 inches, it will actually do 52 inches and this thing was 54 inches wide. I ended up bending it with a bit of damage on the ends that I hammered and dollied out. The finished product came out nice. I also rebuilt the original light fixtures up inside the top. the middle fixture I blasted, painted, new wiring and ballast. The outside fixtures were blasted, painted, new wiring, ballast and sockets. I tested everything on the bench to make sure it worked before final assembly.
