Well I understand math quite well. Thing is i can offer at 150 each as i purchased them
However people never pony up here
Aways try to offer here first. But seems fruitless at times |

Location: northern germany | Given the koolness and rarity of these things, these should sell quick. Spray-on "chrome" should be ok for such application. |

Location: The Mile High City | Got mine! It is really nice. Nice pins on the back. Very good finishes - the images don't do 'em justice. They are heavy too. Wayne and I went old school - I sent a check by mail and it worked great. It was like the days before the interwebs - good times! I'm going to do as Sid suggested. I'll keep you posted...

Location: The Mile High City | Here's how mine turned out. I think I spent another $22 - $9 for thinner, $5 for chrome paint, and $8 for adhesive chrome foil applique. The chrome paint didn't work very well - it just looked like silver paint. I opted for a one-of-a-kind look with the black and gold paint.

Location: Lordstown, Ohio | that came out nice!! |

Location: The Mile High City | Thanks, Wayne. There's probably a better way to apply that foil. My emblem is a "10-footer." I originally thought I would do a red-white-blue theme instead of the black background, but that involved counting all those ribs, which would have made me cross-eyed! If I were to do it again, I might file down some of the rough edges and try to do the foil in 3 pieces for each wing, not 1 peice for each wing (the outside faces of the wings have wrinkles).
