Put me down for 1.

Got it, JimmyU and updated the list. Thanks.

jmike · « **Reply #41 on:** February 18, 2015, 11:14:30 pm »

Stpcore please put me down for 2.

DudeRegular · « **Reply #42 on:** February 18, 2015, 11:31:25 pm »

You can count me for one please.

yotsuya · « **Reply #43 on:** February 18, 2015, 11:43:59 pm »

That's 30! Whoo!

stpcore · « **Reply #44 on:** February 19, 2015, 08:36:13 am »

So it looks like we are at the 30 mark. At this point I'm asking everyone on the pre-order list that has NOT received a PM from me to PM me with "MARQUEE" in the subject line. I will reply to your PM providing you with an email where you can send me your marquee artwork and I can provide you with payment info. I found a local distributor for the translite material so that should speed up turnaround time exponentially! I may be able to get the first run of marquees in the mail by Monday!

So my purchase was going to be a rush the rock but it turns out the file i have is somewhat low res. Anybody have a decent version of this marquee?

gonzojoey · « **Reply #49 on:** February 21, 2015, 03:26:14 pm »

You can put me down for two..if it's not too late.

stpcore · « **Reply #50 on:** February 21, 2015, 04:21:18 pm »

Just an update here. I picked up material yesterday and did a test print marquee and I'm really liking the results on these translites! I ordered smaller shipping tubes (2" x 12") for these marquees to ship in and those should be here by Wednesday. That said, I will start printing marquees on Monday and have the goal to be shipping on or before Wednesday. Anyone that is ordering additional decals (side art, cpo, etc.) will obviously have a larger shipping container and I have those on hand.

One quick question if you all don't mind...Would you guys prefer for these marquees to be CUT to exact spec (they will obviously be PRINTED to requested specifications) or would you like a little extra translite on the outiside boundaries of the marquee so that you can trim and fit if need be? Personally I think it's better to have a little extra than fall a little short and these marquees can be cut down with scissors, a utility knife, or similar. Makes no difference to me either way!

Finally, if everyone can check the order status list on the first post and let me know if I have made any errors concerning your personal requests that would be great. No need to contact me if it's accurate but please DO contact me if I have something that is not correct. If you are on the list and haven't received a PM from me informing you on how to submit your printing request please let me know about that as well.

Thanks again guys...looks like smooth sailing from here!

Leave a skirt, I prefer to have a bit of wiggle room and it's super easy to take material off - not so to put it back on

JimmyU · « **Reply #52 on:** February 21, 2015, 05:27:22 pm »

Payment and files sent!

Vigo · « **Reply #53 on:** February 21, 2015, 06:26:39 pm »

On mine, the bigger 2 having some border is ideal. If you feel pretty good about cutting to size on the smaller one, that is preferred, but I have no problem trimming down myself.

stpcore · « **Reply #54 on:** February 21, 2015, 07:14:22 pm »

I'd prefer to leave a small half inch border around these just in case. It's better to have a little extra that you can trim off versus being short somewhere and having to order a new marquee.

DudeRegular · « **Reply #55 on:** February 21, 2015, 09:14:29 pm »

Paid and file sent.

Mine is going to need the top corners rounded to put in the racing cab. Does this material cut like acrylic? Would a router and flush trim bit work to match it to the original piece of plexi on my cab?

+1 for mine too. 1/2 inch would do nicely.

Thanks

This is not like acrylic. It is a thin/flexible material close to the thickness of a business card. I cannot recommend using a router bit on since I've never attempted to do so. I would place your plexi on top of the marquee using it as a template and cut along the plexi with a utility knife or something similar. You could even trace the outline of the plexi with a pencil directly onto the translite and cut it with a pair of scissors. Those seem to be much easier/safer options in my opinion.

Emailed and payment sent

Id prefer a little more for trimming around the edges just in case.

DudeRegular · « **Reply #59 on:** February 21, 2015, 10:14:43 pm »

My mistake. Then I am with the others. Leave a bit on the edge to trim it down.

dashingw · « **Reply #60 on:** February 22, 2015, 03:52:26 pm »

Can I still be put down for 1 and shipped to Ont. Canada ??

Mr_Numbers · « **Reply #61 on:** February 22, 2015, 05:05:05 pm »

Payment sent, still doing work on the marquee design so it may be awhile till I get that to you, no rush here though.

jm0 · « **Reply #62 on:** February 23, 2015, 12:06:01 am »

Ok, I'll get in on this. Put me down for one.

yotsuya · « **Reply #63 on:** February 23, 2015, 01:24:15 am »

Paid for 4.

05SRT4 · « **Reply #64 on:** February 23, 2015, 02:05:05 am »

So are you guys just going to squish these between two pieces of glass, or is there another trick to this?

marquee retainers , scotch tape, sandwich between plexi, etc

Le Chuck · « **Reply #66 on:** February 23, 2015, 08:06:46 am »

Sent art and paid last night for number two.

Sure, I can ship First Class International to Canada for $10. So when you pay for your marquee you would be at $10 for the marquee and $10 for shipping which would have you at $20 shipped.

stpcore · « **Reply #68 on:** February 23, 2015, 12:47:22 pm »

You will notice status changes on the first post today with updates stating "READY TO SHIP". This means your marquee(s) have been printed and are ready to go out the door. I am waiting on smaller shipping tubes that I ordered for these marquees and they should be here on or before Wednesday. I will then update status to "SHIPPED" when they go out and you will receive tracking information from me via email or Paypal.

For those of you that do not have your artwork submitted that is OK as there is no rush. If your payment has been submitted you have reserved your marquee at the $10 price. If you have not sent payment then your marquee(s) is not reserved. After 40 paid marquees at the $10 price I will continue to do marquee requests at $16 plus shipping.

If anyone has questions just let me know. I hope I'm not confusing anyone!

Can I get in on one more? It'd be going to a different address than the previous 3.

Yep, no problem at all. Just send it to the email address I set up for these if that's not too much trouble?

pbj · « **Reply #71 on:** February 25, 2015, 12:38:40 pm »

Have these started shipping?

stpcore · « **Reply #72 on:** February 25, 2015, 01:40:52 pm »

No, I'm waiting on special shipping tubes that I ordered to ship the marquees in. They are due to arrive today so most likely shipping will start tomorrow. One marquee has shipped because it was packaged in a larger container with a full art package and didn't require the smaller tube.

stpcore · « **Reply #73 on:** February 25, 2015, 02:05:15 pm »

The shipping tubes just arrived so I am going to start packaging and shipping now. Check the first post for your status. I will update as best I can over the next couple hours.

stpcore · « **Reply #74 on:** February 25, 2015, 03:37:42 pm »

OK, so the first batch is going out now. I'm heading to the post office after I'm done with this post.

So in the matter of 8 days we went from a general idea, to ordering materlials, and all the way to a finished product that is now shipping...nice job guys! You can check the first post to check your status. If there is a discrepancy please contact me so I can make any corrections needed. If you are marked as "SHIPPED" and did not receive tracking via Paypal and would like your tracking number please email me and I will be happy to send it over. Everyone on this shipment should have their marquees on or before Saturday.

I look forward to your comments/feedback once you receive them!
