You say neon, but isn't it really flourescent bulbs?
Or am I just looking at it wrong?

Great job Leonard!
It's a shame about the upper plastics...

I've been out of town for the last three days and in my travels I saw I neon clock, appeared to be a Cleveland, that was on a main road. I didn't have time to stop and track down someone let along to have them tell me a thousand people offered to buy the clock. I also saw what appeared to be a doubled sided neon sign that resembled a large double-sided clock. I'll have to check up on this one as it's in a pretty remote area in northern florida.
