Apache 10 Emblems

I always liked the font used for the "Apache" on the bottom part of those 1960 C-10 emblems, so I digitized the one I had hanging on the wall of my office. Anyway, I converted into a CAD file and had a buddy of mine run it on a CNC mill, cutting the coordinates out of left over pieces of 6061 T6 aluminum plate. I had him use a flat bit with the intention of painting the letter trenches. Here is what they look like fresh off of the mill. They are 12" long by 1" tall. I thought they might be nice as a glove box door, fender, hood or bedside emblem.
