Default Neon Corvette

This is not an advertisement or anything, but my brother-in-law is a professional neon tube bender and occasionally makes up artistic objects out of neon - such as Harley Davidson motorcycles, Corvettes, you name it and he can make it. He is making a Corvette for me and I was just wondering if there is anyone out there in CorvetteLand that would be interested in their Corvette made out of neon. Any shape, size, or detail is possible, but typically he makes a simple profile outline of the car and thats it. Typically they hang in an office or a den. He is making mine for free, but he said that even a simple 18" X 36" neon sign he would have to charge $500, so I don't know how many people are intersted, but I just thought I would post this message to see if there is any interest. I cannot guarantee that he will do it, but if there is interest I will pass it on to him. These neon Corvettes are phenomenal and look just fantastic - very unique. The last ones he did went for $1,000 each, but they were larger and were created for displays in major upscale retail stores. This would be the ultimate Christmas present for anyone that has a bad case of Corvette Fever.

He has pictures of his past Corvettes, but I have to get them from him, scan them in and post them, so this will take some time.
