After seeing the building, I wouldn't even bother with a frame. The metal fascia looks to be pretty even. I would just lay your vinyl graphics on some ACM and maybe include a black vinyl border that serves double-duty to help disguise your screws. Use some Tek screws with the rubber washers to...

I agree with the others....ACM panels for the face and 2" aluminum angle for the framework. Aluminum angle clips attached to the faces so they're removable from the frame. Mount the frames, then mount the panels.

SignComp has exploded views of their products in their catalogs and on their website. The corner pieces are called 'keys'. There's really not much to this. Two faces cut to size, take the retainer apart, insert the new faces, good to go. Implementing a hanger bar will help eliminate faces...

I totally agree. I thought I read that he had to use studs. If studs aren't required by the client, then I would definitely just use silicone and VHB tape. That being said, one advantage to stud-mounting is it gives you some adjustability and allows you to keep the letter faces flush in the...

I'd say keep the momentum rolling...discounts here and there, thank you cards, etc.

From the looks it's a flex face with vinyl dividers. ...might be worth trying to score a repair on the show-through copy while you're out there.

I saw it also...This is why it's harder for the people who do things right to stay in business.

After looking at it more, I think you're right about it being SignComp. Good eye. It looked like fabricated retainers initially, but I believe you're correct.

I called Radocy and they do indeed mount these to the trailers themselves. I'm still not in love with the setup, but I suppose it must serve the purpose.

I would stud-mount them and put silicone around the studs to seal the holes you drill in the corrugated metal. I would also drill the holes slightly over-sized. It's difficult to push a 3/16" threaded stud through a 3/16" hole in metal. So either use the same size bit and wallow the hole...

I did research it - that's how I found both photos. But just because it's on their website mounted on that trailer doesn't mean Radocy physically mounted it on the trailer. The shop it's sitting in front of looks pretty ragged. Maybe that's Radocy's shop...but I doubt it. It could very well be a...

You would have to look at the top and bottom retainer to see if it's hinged or if they're fastened the same as the end retainer. There are numerous ways to fabricate a cabinet, so you just have to inspect it and see how they built it. But honestly, it doesn't matter. To make faces, just measure...

The crane is built by Radocy. That setup is made by someone associated with this bunch I believe. Pretty positive that's home made.

Is it supposed to be trailer-mounted? All I can picture is someone that had a trailer sitting at one end of their parking lot and a crane on a broken down truck at the other end of the parking lot and them looking back and forth between the two thinking "hmmmmmmm.....". I dunno...I don't like it.

I'm not super clear on what the question is. As far as spacers, I would use pretty much any metal tubing you can find (conduit, aluminum, etc.) and just cut some 1" pieces. If the question is what material to use for your background, I would use ACM or aluminum and lay vinyl on the face.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

3003 would be fine. 5052 is a good choice for areas near salt water.

Tap on it with your finger. If it sounds "metallic", it's polycarbonate (Lexan). If it sounds "dull", it's acrylic. Both sides are fine to use. It doesn't have to outgas.

I don't find much use for it for vinyl, but if doing wall signs in large quantities, I use it a ton. I use one of DeWalt's versions and have zero complaints. The batteries last a ridiculously long time. The first pic shows a quick way to center a sign above an object - in this case a...

People with anything beyond a 3rd grade reading level recognize groups of letters as words rather than needing to look at each individual letter to decipher a word. I knew immediately the word was "guerilla". I would guess others are able to read it with the same ease and aren't getting hung up...
