Just thinking out loud

Passed by your old shop and it looked like somebody was moving an old el camino in

That was Paul. That must have been yesterday around six. He just got the keys from me.

The chrome effect is a bit much for signage, but the typography in general has a lot more personality than the other. Have the sign shop replicate that and pick your colors and stick with them. If you're tied to the blue on the building, use it and/or something complimentary for your sign and any other advertising materials. I'd be tempted to use that medium blue with a lighter blue and orange (think Gulf racing livery). That would really stand out among the colors that most shops use.

Well this is what I went with. Got it in vinyl to see if I like it and I can have them duplicate it in metal. Still undecided.
