oldmountaincrafts wrote:We used 16 gauge for everything, front, sides and back. And to attach the acrylic we have some really great glue from Klingspor called CA Adhesive Glue. It's a Cyanoacrylate adhesive and is pretty much an instant set for metal, wood, vinyl, acrylic, etc. Less is more and it works great. They have other brands that can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes though.

Re: Chevy Genuine Parts Sign
Nice file, thank you. I am also curious what you charge for it. Using the price calculator found on this site puts it at $50.00 just for the cut out. That doesn't include the light part etc.

Re: Chevy Genuine Parts Sign
I generally charge $74.99 for just the cutout, out of 11ga. Sell them all day long!

Thats a great price. I built 2, powdercoated them both and lit them with LED's. Had trouble selling them for $80 each.
