Keep searching for somebody who does CNC. Did you write to thehomefoundry yet?

Have not contacted them yet. Will give them a try and report back here again. The CNC world is something I am not at all familiar with. Care to give the short version of what CNC can accomplish?

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

CNC is essentially a robotic router. Much like a 3D printer, except instead of depositing material, it carves out material. Once the emblem is made, if duplicates are wanted, lost wax casting can be used to make duplicates.

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

I had a buddy who runs a cnc machine make the custom horn button for my gmc steering wheel so I assume someone with one could make a emblem. This was made from stainless but could use other metals as well he said.

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

Saweeet! I still have that other custom horn button you did. And just last weekend sold the N30 wheel I had to restore (along with the '67 Camaro floor shift column it was on). I want to find a better one to restore or buy one already done.

Anyway, back to custom emblems. I'm sure they could be done on a CNC machine.

Several people on the forum have
called Nelly Precision for different projects.
Hart Rod had a speaker cover made that looks awesome.

Not perfect but close enough!

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

Looked into the www.pidplates.us a bit further. They attach by an adhesive foiled backing which I am reluctant to do after new paint on my 57. Body of the 57 at rear quarter panel has four small holes for attachment pins which would use an original 14'' long Chevrolet script. Want to pick up on those 4 holes making the custom script removable with little to no damage to the new paint if careful enough in removal. Will continue looking for more options but thanks for the link.

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

How about attaching the 'new' emblem to a base that mounts to the body the way you want? I would investigate a base that can be made using thin enough material w/some studs bonded/tacked on. The studs could use speed nuts or something similar.

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

The emblem could be removed without any damage to the paint if removed right and you could cover the holes with it also. Having a base made could work also as stated above.:chevy:

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

Actually what you propose is my alternate / back-up plan. With the script actually engraved within the base plate. Thinking a brushed or polished aluminum or stainless plate with the attaching studs on the back. The original script attaches with studs and barrel nuts. That idea is starting to look more feasible, just not ready yet to give up on the lettered script idea.

Re: Custom made emblems?
 

When Harley was selling reproductions of their early emblems to install on the later bikes the emblems were actual reproductions, so could be used as replacements on old bikes mounting the original way. For the new bikes they sold an adhesive mount base as an adapter. It fit within the emblem, couldn't tell
