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

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.

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.

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 or www.armorpoxy.com; both 2-part epoxys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

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

[/ 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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
