I'm impressed, very nice work. It looks new. Why do you restore those? do you collect them? do you sell them?

Thanks guys. Rich, I have another restoration planned for the next few months for a signal from the 1960s. That one will be powder coat coated gloss black but as it recently served as a parts donor for its twin, it needs to be completed again.

I have a small collection but I've never sold any of them.

It's snowing! I feel like a little kid. Although, this lightning and thunder DURING the snow is creeping me out. QUICK! Somebody loan me their steelies so I can go explore!

Very cool traffic signal, Andrew. I was totally thinking of Rick's Restoration, too.

crownr0yal, we had an extraordinarily nice day here. Maybe we traded weather?
