I know you fellars are going to wonder why I'm working on this and not Jeff's car, but I assure you it is still in the queue. Steps are taken as needed to make the world go round.
I bought this over 7 years ago, took it apart, and because of a funky sandblast cabinet and other things, it made its way into multiple boxes I have been kicking and moving around here and there ever since. It was time. Only took about 3 days so far to get it all stripped and painted. Now I need bulbs and a controller for it (which I found on eBay last night for $26, and made in the USA to boot) at which point I will make a stand for it and stare at it a while. It's a Crouse-Hinds crosswalk light from the 40's. One of the shades was mangled, but had straightened it before going into boxes. Just happy for it no longer being Mr. Underfoot all the time.
When I get it on a stand, and lit up, I'll post a picture of that. Want to make something that looks semi-appropriate.
