Re: GMC Suburban Tailgate Emblem...need a mold to reproduce!

It would be sweet if someone had one and a 3D printer and made a few …. It would certainly pay for the printer in short order .

Then one could take the printed emblem to a foundry and have a mold made and a new emblem poured and chrome plated … just a thought .

Damm why didn’t I think of that when mine got screwed up by the plater , oh ya at that time 3D printers were $$$$$$$ .

Oh poo I could have been more proactive about getting the damaged emblem back but the flood didn’t help and the plater moved and I lost contact .
Had I got it back , now that I think about it I could have filled the hole with Bondo and had a mold made and a new casting made . But little did I know how rare this emblem was !

Sorry about that Dave . It’s true hindsight is 20 20 .
