While the sign was defiled, I see SOME (not much) merit in the idea... Would have preferred to see it done on a repro sign and to have seen a better job done on the neon.

The only problem with this sign is the neon is sloppy at best. When I first saw it I really liked it, like the idea and think this is a perfect sign to add neon to if that's what you want to do but the neon really hurts everything. It was a nice try though.

I'd buy the sign and have it redone if it were cheaper

Terrible execution on the neon. Reads like "Cheu Gola" in one pic.
