I picked up this 12X12 sign face recently and figured I might be able to find a used/vintage sign that I could use for parts. That size is turning out to be unusual for either vintage or new lighted sign cabinets. I will keep looking but I am also looking into having something made. Any suggestions for a source for a making quality metal sign box? I can do all the lighting components myself.
Thanks!
PS - Just made it to "Small Block" level - Woo Hoo!
Wow.....I really like that! I'm jealous. I would do some internet searching on how to build your own lighted sign box.
Thanks - I'm pretty comfortable with sourcing/assembling all the lighting components (ballast, switches, etc). I need a metal bender/fabricator to make a quality box. I have done some online searches, but most of them point to the internet-only type places. I'd prefer to work with an individual or small company who is willing to do custom work.
If I'm not mistaken our fearless leader @cudacody is in the sign business....
Bruce,
Is your flange size exactly 12" x 12 " or 11 3/4"?
Can you measure the drop size -this is the body section where it would need to fit within the opening of the frame.
Tom - The outer dimension is 12X12. The flange is .375" wide. The drop size measures right at 11.25". The material thickness is .11
