you are going to have to sell more than 4 to break even.

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

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

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...

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.

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).
