Applying a new Major Havoc (Tempest style) marquee overlay
Last night, I spent a good 4 hours (not kidding) removing an old Major Havoc marquee overlay from a Tempest style marquee. Man, what a messy pain in the ass!
Nash sold me a very nice NOS overlay, which I'm going to apply this afternoon. I figure I've got one shot at getting this right, so I'm hitting up you good restoration folks for some advice.
What's the best way to go about this? Obviously, I need to make sure everything is properly lined up, but should I start by stapling the overlay to the underside of the wood and wrap it around the top, over the glass, and around the bottom? Should I start at the bottom and work my way around the top? Or should I start at the glass and work outward?
