Late night update, but not much done... Install the T5 neon (pic#1) I've installed the marquee light fixture. It's a 24in T5 neon. Really small diameter. Nothing complicated : 2 brackets, 1 screw/bracket and clip the fixture into place. Install the Marquee light reflector (pic#2) I've installed the neon reflector. I had some piece of scrap Luan and some metallic vinyl left (from my side logos reflectors). So I cut a piece of Luan, put the sticker on it and installed it in the cab. I've used some foam tape to secure everything into place Cut the Marquee retainer (pic#3) his is an idea I got be reading one of Senator's post. I went to Reno-Depot and got a L-brackets for drop ceilings. It cost me 3.75$ for 8ft. The 10ft was 3.73$ (???), but the 8ft was enough and fit better in my car. I already sanded the edges. The only thing left is to slightly bent the lower retainer to compensate for the angled speaker shelf, drill the holes and paint if black. No Cover Logo (pic#4) And finally, the last thing I did tonight was to do a small logo for the jukebox program (skjukebox or multijuke) when no album cover is available. So that's about it for now.

Hellooooo everybody! today was a good day!!! Marquee Retainer (part 1 of 2) ------------------------------ I did my own marquee retainer using L-brackets for drop ceilings. 1. Cut the L-bracket to the disired length. In my case in was 27.5in. 2. slightly change the angle of the lower bracket to compensate for the angled speaker shelf. This was done by holding 1 edge of the bracket between 2 piece of mdf and manually increasing the angle of the bracket. (pic#1 and pic#2) 3. On a piece of scrap L-bracket, find the correct hole size to use with #6 screws (pic#3 and pic#4) 4. Mark the holes and drill them using the press drill (pic#5 and pic#6) 5. Smooth all edges and surface using a smooth grain sand paper. (pic#7) Jay |
