Hi Andrew,
Thanks for posting your photos. We are hoping our lights come out half as good as your's did.
Nice work!
Cheers!

I love that color of green, it really fits that signal well! Amazing restore, I can only hope mine looks remotely as good as yours once complete.

Thanks everybody for all the compliments. I do have a confession to make but when I put the last lens in and the signal looked complete from the outside (lens gaskets are inbound), I set it down leaning against the couch and stared at it for a solid two minutes. I was absolutely speechless.
There are times when your expectations of the finished product land just short but this is one where the image I had in my mind was nowhere near as good as the finished product. I actually e-mailed the lady who sold me the signal originally and she was floored....said she couldn't believe it was the same one. Stay tuned because I hear the short-groove Econolite calling me from the basement for my next project in super-glossy black!
Let me get the gaskets in there and clean up the lens tabs and screws before I do.
