Location: Jamaica Plain, MA		Hey there, a buddy on here lent me a pristine V8 "V" from the front grille of a 1958 Plymouth. Given these are scarce and hard to find in decent shape, I made a good mold of it, and I've cast a few. I am still figuring out how to mount them, but they will probably have 2 studs coming out of the back. Really, my only intention is to make a few and give them to friends on here. But, if you have a need, let me know. I'll probably do 20-30 of them. They are painted gold or silver. I may try tinting the polyurethane so they are solid metallic through and through.

Those look great, Jon. You are really getting the hang of the mold/casting process!

Location: bishop, ca		This company may be able to apply the proper green-gold anodization, or chrome, onto your emblems:

You might sell yours un-finished, or maybe get some bulk/wholesale deal with them.

Best thing for you (profitwise), is to sell then un-finished.

If molding-in the mounting posts is a problem, you could provide recesses in the back of them, so that the buyer could epoxy-in his own
(-brass rod/tube) mounting pins, onto them (in the correct locations).

Location: Parts Unknown		Kudos for taking on something like this. If everyone took on one repop project, we all would have
a much easier time restoring our cars.
