A buddy of mine made this cool sign for The Lost Highway Arcade. He's the one who painted my mural.

Danger

Red Sector A

Chemical

Weapons

Test Zone

Just something I dreamed up that I thought would fit nicely with my theme. I used Red Sector A from Rush's 1984 album Grace Under Pressure.

He handpainted the sign(a lot of signs were handpainted in the 1950's) and had a cop friend shoot four .45 cal bullets thru it. He roughed it up a little as well.

I mounted it on an old rusty post that used to host a Caution-Gas Line sign on it. Then mounted it to the wall with one screw. Pics:

Sir, you have outdone yourself once again. There is no end to the coolness of the Lost Highway.
 
Nice! The bullet holes are a nice touch, although it needs about 25 more to look really authentic, lol.
Have you ever thought about painting your water heater? Maybe just a quick coat of silver spray paint, or maybe one of the hammer tone colors, then labeling it with a custom decal that says something like "Plutonium Containment Cylinder #1" or something along those lines.
 
Very nice Johnny. I agree on the water heater. Need to make it fit in with the theme. I like the plutonium containment idea. I would also accept Rocket or broken Atomic Age robot.

I thought about taking my shotgun(with buckshot) and blasting it once. I may do that!

I've been holding off on the hot water heater only because the thing is on its last leg, and I'd like to get a wall mounted on demand heater. This would free up some space as well.....

These are all good ideas. Thanks for taking the time to give some input.

I have a TON of ideas written down for various additions to The Lost Highway. I've checked off quite a number of them this year; there is a lot more in store so stay tuned.....
