I wouldn't touch this with a hammer drill. I would go pick up a SDS rotary hammer. It's well worth the cost. You can get a Bosch Bulldog Xtreme for under $150 and it'll run circles around a hammer drill. Along with that, get some Bosch Bulldog Xtreme bits. For the pattern, get some Gorilla tape.

Hard to say without seeing the sign, but can you just use standoffs?

Thank you!

Any ideas what the font is in the attached photos?

There's no such thing as TOO organized. :) I don't work well if stuff isn't organized. A little bit OCD I guess. It's much easier to keep clean and tidy than the pickup was, I guess because everything isn't as crammed in. Easier to find the stuff that needs to be thrown out. :) Not sure...

Added a cargo carrier for times I'm installing post-mounted signs. I can carry six bags, which is enough for three holes (normally only do two at the most) and the generator. Mainly added this so I didn't have to carry the concrete and generator inside the van.

Installed a roof-mounted interior ladder rack so the floor is pretty much completely clear and able to accommodate 4'x8' sheet material.

Put a couple of parts organizers on the rear doors for screws, anchors, studs, spacers, etc.

Just wanted to post about up about this van, I'm loving it. If anyone is considering a new work vehicle, this thing definitely serves the purpose. Anyone know why this forum won't keep pictures in the order they're uploaded...?

I would tape the pattern to a strip of plywood, drill all your holes through the plywood, then hold the plywood up against the curve and mark your holes on the column with a drill bit.

Is that to scale?

For what it's worth, the pull out value between Lexel and silicone is pretty drastic.

That's insane. I'm supposed to be coming out to California soon to install a bunch of signs at a medical center and it's been a nightmare with all of the things they require. It's like every nut and bolt has to be described and identified and broken down. Hope you get it figured out.

It's a door to cover up the gas cap. When the drivers door is closed, the gas door can't be opened. It's supposed to prevent the gas from being stolen/siphoned. When you're pumping gas, you can still shut the drivers side door once the gas cap door is open.

Do you mean the black and yellow boxes? Those are Dewalt Tstak boxes and run around $26 each. Of course!

Thanks guys...I'm happy with it. Just need to color-matched the front bumper.

You bet. I got the jacks from Harbor Freight...they've held up pretty well.

I've done a few and it's a piece of cake. Just need to set the jacks on a 2x10 chunk of wood or similar or they'll sink into the ground.

Yeah, I think it was JetRack. WeatherGuard also makes one and I think one other company. All similar concepts that accomplish the same thing. I'm up in the air on whether or not to wrap it. I may just opt for a magnet that's cut to fit in the recessed area on each side. That way I can remove it...

With the right setup, you can remove an existing post in about 5 minutes. The attached is what I use. Drill a hole in the post, run a bolt through it and the angle iron, and jack it out of the ground. Almost zero effort is required - the hardest part is carrying the removed post and base to your...
