Refacing old Chevron sign...Help

[jwmedia]

I have a customer who owns a gas station and he changed from chevron to shell. He also owns a furniture business and he wants to use the old chevron sign cabinet for the furniture shop (and these are older signs).

It has a 65.25" x 74" pan face (1.5" depth) but it doesn't have flanges. There are no retainers for a flange and a flange would mess up how these actually mount to the cabinet.

Now, I call this a pan face but it doesn't have the signature angled raise. This, instead is flat and then curves down to a 90 degree angle.

My questions:
1.) Has anyone refaced these before?
2.) Is it possible to get pan faces like described above (no flange or angled raise)?
3.) Just any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED....THANKS!

Anybody?

Have you heard that one photo is worth a 1,000 words?

Maybe if you posted a few photos, folks here would know what you are dealing with?

I am NOT in over my head Old Paint. I was simply asking a question in the hopes someone would know what I am talking about. This place is really getting on my nerves. I've looked at threads and threads and all there is is bullsh** self-proclaimed professionals NOT giving anything but a smart-a$$ attitude.

I haven't been in the sign business too long...but you have to start somewhere, right? Sorry I wasn't around in the 60's to start then....

All we're asking for is a pic or 2 to see what it looks like and how it works...pretty basic concept really just takes a little more time. There are a lot of different construction methods used in signmaking and a description isn't always enough.

I wasn't talking about you. You did ask about pictures with no excess baggage...Old Paint, on the other hand, included an insult or two and I'm not about that. Thanks for the offer of help...I'll try to get some pics up soon.

If it was the sixties you would get your ass kicked for talking like you did, everyone back then went to the school of HardKnocks.

The OP forgets who asked who for advice.

Take some prozac and then take the dang picture so we can see what the heck you are talking about.

There are alot of smart people here and you would be wise to ignore all the troll baiting and give them the information they need to help you solve your problem.

BTW... if you HAVE to be an a$$ it is always better to be a smart one than a dumb one.

 

[Billct2]

Talk about attitude. Figure it out yourself.

I don't need prozac. It's comments like "You've been in the sign business how long...and you're in over your head...gee" that doesn't help anything. I agree with you and I will add pictures. But wouldn't "Do you have pics?" or something like that serve the same exact purpose without all the negative insults???

THANKS TO YOU WHO REALLY WANT TO HELP WITHOUT ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND DEMEANING TONE. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND WILL TRY TO ADD PICTURES SOON.

and you peg me and others here as "stupid".....for not understanding what the hell your asking for???????????????????? send em to school they eat the books hahahahahahaha

No, you see, I wouldn't have had my ass kicked...I think if you look at the stats my generation is MUCH more violent than yours...which means we kick more ass...lol

+1 tell the customer to go to a sign shop.

I re-faced signs like this. I retrofitted for a flexface. Lots cheaper than a rigid face.
