T-way Veteran Member Registered: Wed Jul 24 2002 Loc: Riley, MI, USA	Well, after over 20 years of owning this, I finally got my big Pontiac sign re-done with new neon. I worked on a project for a friend that took about 2 years of messing around and he 'paid' me by getting the neon re-bent and sourcing all the necessary transformers, stand-offs, etc. to complete the sign. Here is a shot of the sign with the neon off. And here it is with the neon on. Later . . . Jim Edited by T-way (Sat Jun 16 2012 12:40 PM) Edit Reason: spellin' - what else! _________________________

T-way Veteran Member Registered: Wed Jul 24 2002 Loc: Riley, MI, USA	Thanks guys. I always wanted to get it completed, but there never seemed to be any 'extra' money laying around. LOL I'd really hate to tell you how little I actually have into the sign. I bought this sucker so long ago - way before porcelain dealer signs were in vogue - that I got it for an unbelievable price. The only thing I managed to accomplish was getting the box built for it years and years ago. Once I hung it on the wall, that was pretty much it. The Keeper had made noises about getting the neon re-done, but she never gave me the go-ahead for the project. I'm going to wait and suprise her with it during the Summer Party we have in early July. Even thought she will be out in the Coop before then - I doubt she will realize that there is now neon tubing on the sign. LOL Later . . . Jim _________________________
