Pier Sign Restoration Project

Made some progress with the pier sign this weekend. I think it's shaping up rather well:

The next step will be painting the Thunderbird, which is probably going to take about as much time as everything else combined:

I wish I had taken a picture of what the sign looked like in the beginning.  The paint had taken quite a beating from the weather, to the point that it was almost unrecognizable.  We scraped off all the old paint and started anew.  I'm very pleased with the way its restoration is going so far. It will look brand new by the time summer rolls around.
