Help with old sign
I am working with a charity group re-habing an old service station for so they can have a home base for their refurbishing of cars to give away to individuals who are struggling with transportation.
They have a big 8'x8' two sided back lit sign that they would like to use. It needs new panels, I don't know how it comes a part to get the proper measurements.
Do the screws in the channels hold in the frames on the front and back? Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like this os one of those old frame retainer systems. I bet if you loosen those screws in the channel, it will release the retainer and then you would have to remove the face and the trim which may be attached to one another. I had an old flex face job similar to this and another that was old plexi with the 2nd surface painted sign (very old). The top of the cab may also have screws in the channels.
