    "Maybe the wind blew your old table away Dad! How would i know what happened to it?!" Practicing for when he notices his table is gone and now on my wall! Very cool idea!

    I'm in the process of re-creating a Hudson dealership sign the same way, except on a sheet of s**** aluminum.

    Hey,

    Go to Ebay under collectables, advertising, than to porcelain signs,
    old. There are three groups 1900-1930, 1930-1950 & 1950-1970.
    Also check out EbayUK and EbayFrog, some killer graphics and funny
    toungs, as well.
    Build a complete collection of big-money colletables, tailored to your
    taste, and spend the savings on your hot rod/kustom. Its been work-
    in' for me.

    You have a WINNER ! I like the idea. I like the method ! My friend does the same thing, In a sense.

    Buys old clocks with the right look. One he did was, a Indian Motorcycle logo on a soft drink clock.

    A Plow Disc for a small sign. Our Imagination can work wonders ! You don't want to get to good at sign making !

    Case in point, a Real MOBIL FLYING RED HORSE. A LARGE ONE ! Was on a garage, They were having a garage sale..

    See this sign forever. I was gone, you could see the shape. I asked if they were selling the old sign. SHE SAID NO SOMEONE HAD STOLEN IT !
