While waiting on car parts I got bored so I started this project; always wanted one. It’s kind of car related, should be done in about three days as the paint is very slow drying. So whats it going to be?

Took me a minute but looks like it is going to be a stop light.

I got this one for free last year from Dunwoody's HVAC lab. I joked to my instructor that it would look good in my garage and he said take it, its yours, its in the way and has nothing to do with HVAC anyways. It sits on a small "cart" and is held up by black iron gas piping.

Here is a cheap controller that can be used to make it functional and the timing is adjustable too.

I bought a real old cool one a couple of years ago at a car show swap meet. Plan on triggering the lights so I can use it to park the bus in my shop in the right spot. Great plan, light still sits on the bench with the best intentions of hanging soon.

Getting there.

Cross off one project.

Is it going to act as a parking locator as you pull into the garage,  green/yellow/red?

Would be kind of cool if you could hook it up to a location sensor to aid in parking.
