3/4" thick illumianted letters - need a source

[Rocco]

Hi all,

 

I'm working with a contractor for a set of letters for inside a mall.  Long story made short, they originally asked for 3/4" FCO letters, which I priced and they accepted.   Then they realized that the customer expected these to be illuminated.   The facade won't allow for a push-thru cabinet so I got a cost on some 2" deep illuminated letters.   Now the mall pushed back saying that they has only approved 3/4" thick illuminated letters.   I've seen them and even installed some but none of my normal sources can make these in time.   The specs are 2.5" tall sans serif letters (10 letters) with 8" tall Roman letters (3 pieces).  The store opens at the end of August.  

 

HELP!!!

Thanks.  I did contact them after your recommendation.     Thier lead time might be too long but I'll keep them in mind for future jobs.

We do these for the casinos often. Call me and I will fill you in on how to do it easily for the future.

Thanks for the replies.   This job finally became a push-thru face when the client wanted the letters to protrude no more than 1/4" beyond the facade.   Sigh.   the life of a sign-guy, er um sign-person.    Only another 35-40 years and i can retire!

There's a retirement package?

Rocco, you know the company owns you rather than the other way around.

I've been looking for the right person to take over my accounts so I can retire for the last 2 years.

I also see by the 30 to 40 more year comment that you intend to live to be 100 years old.
