I know the earlier ones are steel and this is aluminum, but what do you think? I have never seen one quite like this.

If you swept your driveway once in a while it wouldn't have been so easy to pick up on.

There no mounting holes!

If you find a rust free cab with a sunroof cut in it...There ya go! Classy roof patchy. I'm sure that piece is worth too much for that. Great find

There are some small holes that look to line up with the bumper bolts...

Leave it to tim to come up with that! At least you didn't say to bend it and make a floor patch on a rusty truck! It is an expensive patch panel, i gave $100 for it. Not sure if it was a good deal or not. Don't care, i like it...

Those are not to mount it to a vehicle was what I was referring to.

I think as signage goes with the age and condition you did fantastic.

**lolife99** · 08-23-2014, 11:44 AM

Very cool sign!

**Already Gone** · 08-23-2014, 03:20 PM

Eric if you put that sign on Ebay for sale it'd probably blow your mind what it would sell for.
