[DMCForum] Re: how to make a DeLorean sign...?

["John Dore" <dmcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nice idea Eric, it would look cool.

I'll have pics of my sign in about 2 weeks, basically what I've done 
is get plexiglass and apply vinyl negative image over it, so that the 
letters will allow light to shine through. Sounds crap at the moment, 
but wait until you see it, I think you'd be surprised at how good it 
looks.

Thanks,
John
