Where did you get the L shaped aluminum for the marquee holder?  Are you painting it?

Thanks!

I picked it up at Home Depot, ask for 1/16" Aluminum angle stock and they have a small choice to choose from. Really easy to cut, too.

I think I will sand it down and use 600 grit sandpaper on an orbital sander to get a brushed aluminum look. If it shines nicely, I will keep it that way.

Created my first marquee design, I like it, so we'll see what happens....

PsychoMikey:
Good Job on that paint job. Marquee looks good, but somehow i don't really like the grey font color. maybe a little gradient or something. For a quick mock-up check the attachment.

Rick Dangerous:
Nice cab :)

PsychoMikey's marquee is nice too, you have to use it ;)

Very nice, I like that better, thanks Mikey.

I'm used to Photoshop, but after many reformats, I've lost the application and the CD I had. Now I use Jasc PSP and it takes me a little bit to figure it out.  I will definitely mess with the gradients on the font and maybe change the font-face.

I'll rehash the marquee with some alternatives, thanks.
