When Elvis and I went to Oregon last Oct. I was able to purchase a large (6'x15') porcelain/neon BF Goodrich sign. On this last trip, I got it down, and stored in my shop. Here are a few photos of the process.
Removing it from the top of the building.
On to the trailer for the 18 mile ride.
Had to drop it on the ground outside of the "garage mahal" in order to use the crane to get it inside.
Swinging it inside the shop.
Finally on the garage floor. Can you believe this. All of the neon glass tubing was in tact when it was removed? Amazing. The outside edge lights up blue, and the center letters Red. Over 230 feet of neon tubing. Wow!
