My new BADGES!!! pics inside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I figure with this motor, I can safely sport these badges. They are stamped steel welded and molded into fender.

Cyco Path · 10-16-2002, 11:57 PM

Damn straight you can.

RED72blazer · 10-17-2002, 03:40 AM

Thats just about the coolest thing I've ever seen...

67shortie · 10-17-2002, 05:04 AM

That is way cool

I was thinking on the lines of maybe a set of the older style corvette flags on that area of the fender on mine, but that does look pretty sharp

NSANE68!!! · 10-17-2002, 10:35 AM

Thanks, I like em. I think they turned out pretty good. They kinda just flow and don't pull your eyes.
Now who can guess where they came from.

Clue#1, can be found at just about any salvage yard.

Clue#2, they came off a tailgate. (that should give it away)

Smooth68 · 10-17-2002, 10:45 AM

hmmmmm.......niSSan? hehe. Nice mod! Does that stand for Smok'n Small block or Sweet Shortbed?

NSANE68!!! · 10-17-2002, 10:55 AM

You are GOOD, lol. I like the SMOKIN SMALLBLOCK, that sounds about right, hehe

Smooth68 · 10-17-2002, 11:11 AM

I'm not wanting to copy so don't worry, but did you do a cut and replace with the fender or is that just an overlay of the patch on the original metal?

NSANE68!!! · 10-17-2002, 11:30 AM

I cut them out of the tailgate. Trimmed them up. Traced the outline on my NEW fenders. Cut the hole in the fender. Used magnets to hold flush, and tacked it in. The rest you know, grinding, skim coat, prime, ect.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-17-2002, 12:06 PM

That is a very nice custom touch. Haven't seen anything like that done before. What color is your truck gonna be?

XXL · 10-17-2002, 12:12 PM

Looks good. I did something similar years ago, but I had to create a mold of the impression I wanted to use, then pound like a madman to get it in the sheetmetal. I like your use of an existing embossing better! Less shoulder pain!!

NSANE68!!! · 10-17-2002, 02:57 PM

Yukon, the truck will be mostly BLACK, with a touch of white, and some 6-color chang Kameleon worked into the mix. I'll just give the colors for now. I can't give away the suprise. LOL

XXL, I know I kinda cheated, hehe. I was sitting behind a NISSAN at a light one day, and BAM it hit me. Went to my local bone yard got 2 tailgates for $50. The rest is history. I like emblems, I just don't think they should pull your eyes away. When they are put on by the factory with double sided tape, it almost lokks like an AFTERTHOUGHT. I will just paint mine all body color no highlights or outlines to pull your eyes. JMO

Chevy409 · 10-17-2002, 03:12 PM

That is damn slick, nice touch

70c10 · 10-17-2002, 04:01 PM

Perfect size for a fender. Great idea.

chevyman02 · 10-17-2002, 05:46 PM

Dude i'm digging the green engine with the neon wires. Do you have any other pics of it?

Stepside · 10-17-2002, 06:54 PM

That's got to be one of the best new original ideas I've seen. It blends perfect, yet says alot. Any time frame on the paint?
