Just use emblem tape, like EVERY modern car. Forget the pins. They're too much work.

If you can make them with pins, I'd be interested in paying a little extra.

Do you already have holes in the back of your car? If so, how far apart are they?

I'm looking into options for pins for you; it looks like I could make shallow holes and then silver solder them or epoxy them into the holes.

Let me see if my x-axis will travel that far. =o) I might have to do it in a couple of stages, but... yeah. I'll give it a shot.

the CNC mill runs off of a different computer than what I do my designing on, and I just got some strips of aluminum that would probably be long enough.

I've been playing with the 914-GT script in wood while waiting for the end mill bits for the aluminum.

Here's a pic:

It pushes the limits of my little mill; I'm thinking anything longer will have to be done in a couple of stages.

Very nice!

The previous owner either closed up the holes, or the car never had them. Just place the pins in a manner similar to the original "914" emblem.

I like the 914-GT, I am in for one. Move the T closer to the G though
Mark

As for making the tape nice, we can laser cut it so that it will fit niceley on the back. I like to tay 1.0mm underflush of the emblem all the way around.

Okay, will do. How much closer would you like it? I should probably remove the dash between the G and the T as well?

laser cutting sounds nice. I wish I had those capabilities. =o) maybe someday.

$65 for the GT ones, they are taking a bit more work.

and thank you! I'm really looking forward to cutting out of aluminum this week.

I'm setting up the mill to cut this one out right now. =o)

I get to start cutting aluminum first thing tomorrow!

The mill is heading out to my dad's shop so I didn't have to build a shrowd to catch the chips flying off of it. It'll be good to have the noise out of the apartment, too.

I'm ahead of schedule for getting these done, and should have some aluminum chips soon enough.

I'm pretty excited about getting to make these; thank you everyone so far for your support and questions and suggestions.

The green lines are the tool path; and the blue ones are the lines that they are following. As you can see here, I still need to pocket out the insides of the 9 and the 6.

I am ok with the distance between the G and the T ......... though absolutely no dash between the letters.

Here is what I want in the font you are using .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

914-GT

Will this be bare aluminum, powder coated or anodised?

Okay! I can do that. =o) I can work on that next, while the 914-6 is running through the wood version to check the tool paths.

Bare aluminum.

Here is the 914-6 out of wood.

The cheeto's thumb print is going to buff right out. I also need to add the tail back onto the '4'. and that's why I do them out of wood first.

the second picture is for the 914-GT modifications.

gothspeed, Mark, what do you two think? Should I make a wood one for your twos' approvals?
