If you'd like an emblem, there are a couple of different ways to let me know you are serious; first and obvious one; send a paypal payment with what you'd like, and I will send you a drawing for your approvale (jim(at) smalltowngeek.net). Send a PM to me with your request, an agreement to pay when completed, and then I will send drawings to you for approval.
My pricing:
Shipping: $7 - $10.00 CONUS, priority mail, delivery confirmation, insurance, (if requested) paint stick for support (unless it fits in a small flat rate box).
Emblem (comes with tape, I can adhere and trim on request) They are polished on a buffing wheel to make as shiny as I can get them.
number of digits:
2: $30
2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 5.3, 5.7, LE
3: $40

Jim -
I just sent your "914 S" emblem info to Murry/me733 - who is another 914S nut with an early 914-2.0 - although his is actually running! 
... as opposed to my basket case! 
So maybe he'll pop for one sooner rather than later.
I'd suggest that you add a list of the ones you have already set-up in your CAD-CAM system here, with the link to your Emblems website.

Is your website here set-up to do purchases by Visa etc.?

Sorry for the dupe, web connection farted!

Tom, Thank you! I will add to my list in the original post. 
Visa/MC/ PP... That is why I set up the website; so people that would prefer paying with a credit card are able to do so. There is also anonymous check out.

Jim - let me know if/when Murry &/or others order a 914 S one & I'll jump in then to make it easy for you.
You should also do a post(s) in the Garage &/or Originality & History forum(s) for the "914 S" emblems, cuz I doubt many know you make them! I'd been hunting all over & was going to splice a 914 to the "S" from a 911S one to make one up for me, until I found yours.
Porsche+Audi advertized the 914 2.0 as the "914S" from summer of 1972 up to Jan. or Feb. 73, so all 2L's sold during that period can legitimately be referred to as a 914S, although none were ever badged that way. Porsche AG made them stop in early 73, although they never made their British distributor stop marketing the 2L as the "914SC"!
Here's a real 914S ad from the day -
... post the ad with your stuff & the time period info, for others interested.

Will be adding pictures here soon. This batch I have going right now will be getting photo shoot and then shipped out on Thursday.
ALSO: My website is gone. I have another one I am building with a different URL. It will be awhile, but I'm happy to wait for a POMO.

Would you like the tracking number? It's the insurance and delivery confirmation tag.

Whoa nice emblem Jim it is gonna look great!!!-Phil

I recently received my 914 S emblem and it looks awesome. These take a little time to receive but are all custom made one off items and they are NOT MADE IN CHINA!
Posted by: rgolia Jun 12 2012, 08:55 AM
can you make the porsche lettering below the 914 2.0 emblems...see photo
Posted by: cary Jun 16 2012, 07:44 PM
Jim could you make me a Carrera 3.2 script for my 911?
Posted by: dlee1967 Jun 29 2012, 04:48 PM
Paid on April 9 for a 914-8 emblem.
Although I was told there was a shipment, no product ever arrived and the email responses have not resulted in either the product or a refund. Cannot provide a tracker "for the first one". Another was to be shipped, but nothing. Responses have been rude and not resulted in getting my money back.
All I want now is a refund to my Paypal. I can't even get that. If it had not been so long, I would file a Paypal claim.
Buyer beware.
David Lee, Houston, TX
I've kept all of the email responses to my inquiries, but it is just not worth my time to post them. Make your own emblem or roll your dice with Jim. He states that we (914 owners) are just a pain to deal with and he should stop doing us a favor. I don't want any favors, I just want my money back for a product that I never received.
UPDATE 09/07/2012
Script arrived last week in brown envelope. A little bent as it was not attached to a paint stick as described......but at least it finally arrived. thank you
Posted by: mharmon Jul 5 2012, 06:24 PM
I'm in the same boat as David. Paid for the model fuchs wheels from Jim back in January of 2011 and still have not received them.
I had a little hope when he responded on this thread that the wheels were all done and that he was missing a few addressess of folks that had already paid. PM'd him the same day, but have not heard back.
Itt too bad, but some people just don't keep their word.

Hi Jim,
I sent you PayPal payment for a 914-6 emblem 5/24/12 - which isn't that long yet for making it along with others in process, but do you have an ETA for the "Last Run" stuff yet?
Cheers! 
Tom

I saw your post and thought I'd check how long it actually took to get my emblem. It was right at 6 weeks from the time I paid Jim till I received it. It looks pretty nice. Communication was slow with Jim. Seemed he had a lot of things going on and making these emblems is a side project.
Posted by: broomhandle Jul 19 2012, 01:28 PM
are there any pics of these emblems?
i would like to see the 914-EV
Posted by: 914six Jul 31 2012, 05:12 PM
Still waiting for my emblem from the last run.......Over 2 months now..
Posted by: A&PGirl Aug 9 2012, 07:48 PM
Jim asked me to officially announce that he sold the emblem biz. I stepped up to the plate and we both worked out a deal.
So, emblems will not be available for 6-8 weeks while I learn the machine & the cad program.
If you had purchased an emblem and paid for it by July, Jim will make your emblem and ship it to you.

As a reminder to Jim - & notice to Carrie - I'm one who falls in the pre-sale prepaid cut-off date, but I noticed above that I made a DA mistake on the prior post here & put 914-6 ....
I meant to say "914-S" - & I believe that's what I put in the PayPal & our PM's Jim - if not, please correct my error & make it a "914-S" !!!!
Cheers!
Tom

Hi Carrie,
I placed an order before the cutoff date and havent heard anything about my order in a long time. I was wondering if you can give me an update of where things stand.
Thanks,
Kent
Posted by: gus91326 Oct 8 2012, 04:43 PM
Can we order emblems yet?
Posted by: A&PGirl Oct 8 2012, 05:55 PM
I'm going to try to get started on the box this weekend.
What do you need?
Posted by: B2524 Oct 10 2012, 10:11 AM
Hi Carrie,
I still have not received the badges I ordered from Jim.
Any idea when that will happen?
Thanks
Kent
Posted by: gus91326 Oct 10 2012, 11:21 PM
I was interested in 914-8 and a 5.7...

No news?
Posted by: B2524 Dec 12 2012, 08:13 AM
any news yet on my badges?
it has been a really long time.
thanks
Kent
Posted by: Tom_T Dec 12 2012, 12:25 PM
Same here....paid in full for a 914-S badge in May 2012 & still nothing yet.
Is Jim finishing it or just blowing everybody off now?
6 months is now high time to produce or refund to us Jim.
Posted by: Eric_Shea Dec 12 2012, 12:57 PM
Jim, Carrie,
Where do we stand with this? Time to start refunding people me thinks. Let's do the right thing. If people have given money for a service, they either need to get the product or service or... they need a timely refund.
Posted by: Eric_Shea Dec 12 2012, 02:17 PM
Gang,
Carrie PM'd me and she is stating she is not responsible for making emblems for you. She apparently did not purchase the debt with the business.
I've asked Jim to refund any open orders as it is the right thing to do and, he has no way to fulfill the orders.
Looks like this emblem thing is a mess.

Thanx for stepping up Eric.
It was also the right thing for Admins to do, & I respect that you did this!
What I'm not clear on from my prior PMs with Jim on this, is whether he had started on my (& others') emblems when he asked for "last run" orders last May, which he just needs to buff out & ship out, or to the contrary of what he led me (others?) to believe - whether emblems were never started????
Posted by: B2524 Dec 12 2012, 09:19 PM
Eric,
For what it's worth Carrie sent me a PM and said she would take care of my order but I guess now she isn't. Guess we know her true colors.

Kent,
I just don't have enough time to set the equipment up, make sure it works right then sit and grind out emblems.

Kent,
I just don't have enough time to set the equipment up, make sure it works right then sit and grind out emblems.
It seems this custom emblem vendor/vendors has been problematic from the beginning. I ordered one grom the original guy and it took a lot of effort on my part to finally get my emblem a couple of months later. The quality was just ok. I could gave made my own eith a scrol saw that would have been much better with a lot less frustration of constantly emailing/messaging the guy and getting excuse after excuse. I think it's time for the moderator to take action and shut this thread down. Anyone that paid up front should be refunded by the current owner. Just my. 02 cents worth!

I have no dog in this hunt but seems to me any payments/orders sent to Jim remain an issue with Jim, and any payments/orders sent to Carrie should be resolved by her. According to her advisement posted on August 9th.
And Carrie if you are going through a learning curve on this equipment then you need to advise the community of the issues and the resolution.
Pretty much what Eric stated.

Jim was Jim
Carrie is Carrie
If she didn't buy his debt, it is not her responsibility to cover it. Business is business
Posted by: A&PGirl Dec 17 2012, 09:55 PM
Scotty is right.
I didn't buy the debt. I bought the equipment, software & intellectual property (software files).
I'm not accepting any orders or money since I don't have the equipment setup & working.
And Scotty is right again, the software has a major learning curve to it. As in, if you cannot think in at 3 dimensions and magically figure out which button does what you need to do in which order, do not apply.
Posted by: B2524 Dec 24 2012, 12:38 PM
All I will say is don't buy from anyone on the board, especially Jim or Carrie.
Total POS's in my book.
Posted by: RJMII Dec 28 2012, 12:29 PM
I'm going to start trickling out refunds as I get the money.
my appologies for failing.
Posted by: A&PGirl Dec 29 2012, 10:17 AM
See this link? -> http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&showtopic=192117&view=findpost&p=1792338
I already stated everything that needed stating there months ago. I don't expect apologies for insults, threats or harassment, but damn can't you figure out how to use the search function under member names to see if I posted the information in a separate thread because it was so important?
