Man, that's big! You might be able to haul it on an open (or enclosed) car trailer.

[Charley Lillard]

Ha ! I wondered if it was that one. That will be a great sign. Congrats.

[JAD]

It will look good hanging in my building after I get it restored.I just need to figure out how to get it to Dallas.I may have to send my truck and trailer up to get it.

It looks like it has a cool trailer already!!!
All you need is Jed Clampets truck to pull it !!

[firstgenaddict]

Idaho to dallas on a flatbed semi would probably be $3000 or so... may have to have a machinery rigger to put it on the trailer.

Holy huge sign Batman...! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

At the last Mecum Spring I hauled Thunderbird from Baltimore to Indy on a 22ft flat car triler. The sign was 19 ft long 1ft wide and 14 ft tall, I stood it up and strapped it down and off I went. Got to Mecum 14 hours later and plugged in and worked perfectly. You will need a forklift to put it on a tractor trailer there tail sits awfull high, I would just go get it make sure you trailer has a winch it saved my ass.....

Joe, Sign looks great!
Is the floor VCT 12x12 tiles? How's it holding up, if it is?
I'm a few days away from deciding from Armstrong "Stonetex 12x12's, www.Floorguard.com (http://www.Floorguard.com) or www.armorpoxy.com (http://www.armorpoxy.com); both 2-part epoxys. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Unfortunately there are going to be a lot of Chevrolet dealership signs for sale in the next few months.

We'll have to snap up some great Pontiac signs for our new Ram Air Pontiac building!

[/ QUOTE ]They are Armstrong 12X12 Jeff.Tire marks are the only problem.Very hard to get off.Otherwise they are holding up fine.

That sign looks great in your building. I have told Chris this and I will say it again, the building that you both own has to be the very best there is when you consider the automobilia and the car collection itself. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
