Still too cold, or too rainy, or both to epoxy coat my floor, so I continue to "feather the nest", as my wife calls it, with stuff I won't have to haul back out when the weather permits me to coat the floor. Today I mounted a traffic signal that I've had stored in my basement for 20 to 25 years, won...

That is impressive, and looks great! Did you photoshop the pic of the finished car, or is that an existing car you're using as the inspiration for yours? If you photoshopped it, then I'm REALLY impressed.

Joe, if that's really you, Halleluiah!! If it's dictation to your "secretary", a big thanks to them. Either way, we hope you're back to your usual volume of sage advice soon.
