When I first started collecting Kim was already a legend . The only trouble I have with that video is keeping my eyes off the girl long enough to look at all the great stuff.

Wow, I had a inkling of a idea of what you had accumulated but Wow, I was WAY low on my estimate!! Amazing video and was great to see your face again! I was not fast enough on the pause button so I had to go back a couple times. Your 800 accumulated the longest pause,,, ha ha! I didn't see any Idaho Chief globes tho?? You gotta tighten up that big wall so you can get all those beauties off the floor but I bet you've been busy, during this shut down, with re-organizing? Great thread and thanx for sharing, Kim and everyone else!!! Stay safe and healthy!

Great video Kim. I was lucky enough to see part of your collection in person and it is amazing. Really enjoying this thread and seeing how everybody acquired there collections. It makes you understand the dedication it took to achieve collections of that magnitude. Thanks for sharing and stay safe everyone.

This was another purchase and take down I did, I think it was 2000 or 2001. This was an old Chevrolet OK used cars lot in Kansas City, KS. All the porcelain neon marquee signs were still there (about 100' long), but the Chevrolet dealership was long gone. It was home to an auto repair shop at the time. It was not the best neighborhood, had to be the hottest day of the summer, and I had to fight off pigeons trying to nest inside the sign with the torch! I rented a forklift locally, but brought my own tools, torch and tanks, and the trailer. As nasty as it was, it was still fun.
