I routed out a slit in the wood surrounding the marquee about a half an inch back from the end of the wood. The marquee (sandwiched between plexi) slides down from the top and is capped by the top piece. This eliminates any ugly screws, mounting hardware and light slits from the marquee. I was actually looking for a better idea here because putting the top piece on while trying to line up the plexi is much harder than you'd think. But once its in its done. :) EDIT: Obviously if you do it this way, you'll need to make sure your plexi and print are LARGER than the "VISIBLE" hole for the marquee. I personally oversized the marquee by 1/4" on each side. |

This is how I mounted my marquees. I'm disappointed in the BYOAC crowd and only answering half of this guys questions. |

I routed 2 pieces of MDF into strips that would hold the top and bottom of the marquee in place. The top I routed to a thin strip and glued it to a metal bracket that I secured to the top of the cab. by drilling screw holes into it. The bottom I routed out a channel that the marquee sits into. It is secured by gluing the sides and portion that was not routed for the channel onto the cab.. Since it is the same material as the cab it looks nice and just fits the project better then your average retainer. |
