Jim - I'm honored to have one of my goodies on your car!
If I'd known it was going there, I could have "copper plated" it like some of those other items...
Looks very cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Nothing wrong with V1, but I really like what you did on V2. I agree that adding the extra panels into the design makes them distinct elements that balance the stags horns.

Have you thought about doing accelerated aging on parts of the design to further highlight or enhance certain elements? Or a distressed painted look? I could see something with an aged patina really looking good.

I've used some of these Steel F/X products (https://steelfxpatinas.com/) on some of my yard/home art pieces. It's what added the copper look to some of the WCR goodies.
As I'm getting through with the 2 footer and V2, I've been giving lots of thought to finishes. The nice thing about the Steel F/X is that if you don't like how it turns out, just hit it with a flap wheel and try again...!

I think next up, I'll try doing one in carbon fiber. Or maybe a mix of carbon fiber and aluminum. Kind of like a race version of the crest. We'll see.

V2 assembled. I'm playing with different patterns on the various parts to see what I think looks good, etc. I think the lighting makes it look more extreme than it does in real life.
I definitely like it with the added panels as it really balances it out and makes it look more complete. (Tony will have to send his V1 back to the factory for an update!)

The convenient part is that all the pieces unbolt so style adjustments are easy.
Here it is with the baby 2' version.

Well, after looking at for a couple hours, I decided I'm going to "refinish" the panels. It looks too busy to me. I used a 40 grit flap wheel to do what's there now. Next, I'm going to try a 120 grit and a more uniform look on each panel. If I don't like that, I'll go to 80 grit on a DA. That's the finish on the main background.

I think unpainted steel on steel looks great!

McMark's shop sign mocked up. How'd I do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
(yes, I know things aren't lined up. Everything is just sitting there. It'll be fine, trust me...)

This morning, I took the crest over the the R Gruppe gathering at EASY.
Some very cool cars... Got home and finished up McMark's sign. He wants to powder coat it so this is as far as I needed to take it. Now it's disassemble and ship time.

And, duh, I suppose I should include a couple pics of the finished crest! I didn't like the way the panels were looking so I cut new ones and attached the fasteners from the back, vs. plug welding through the locating holes as I did on the first set.
They turned out far nicer.

And with the raw finish, the way light reflects causes it to look a little different from every angle. I like it!

You better be careful Chris...ALLOT of things seem to "fall off your table" there in The Petaluma Metal Factory! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That's super rad. Can't wait to see it. PM a shipping cost, or dimensions and I'll book it.
