    Here are the emblems I drew up today. Any yellow/orange lines you see in the design are lines that will be etched for definition. Busy day :0

    Will do. Gonna be a while though. By the time he makes it, ships it to me and then getting it chromed. All we got to do is keep him from playing in the puddles on the machine! :D

    So this was my experience with the custom emblem:
    After taking the emblem out of the mail packaging this is how it looked:
    IMG_2681_49eacfb3630110a0e428ec1787f1f72d5a42762a.jpg
    IMG_2684_3662ca74597b6922801843dfe09f886a4db7e9ea.jpg
    WOW! I was going to take some 0000 steel wool to it, and after a short while, I knew that I could be doing this forever. Fortunately I was able to call a friend who had a sand blaster at his house and that cleaned it up and it was ready for paint. Sorry no pics of it sandblasted.
    After 4 coats of Rustoleum "No Rust" Silver Metallic, and 4 coats of clear coat it was time to put it on. Had to wash the truck first!

    IMG_2710-1_dc83c1a2a4d1533a7a14ff1d6aedfe88ccdab61a.jpg
    Oh and I did the old cut the plastic and place it between the emblem and mount

    Man it looks AWESOME complete and on the truck...but its intimidating that it arrived like that. I dont have access to a sandblaster.
