Reproduction emblems: NEW pics (again) on Page 3

I am making reproduction emblems for TBirds and Cougars. The first emblem out is the very hard to find "EFI-Turbo" emblem from the front fenders and dash of the 83 and 84 Turbo Coupes. I am holding the first one out of the mold (and through the chrome platers) right now.

We do have to make a small adjustment to the mold, but the final versions (that will be constantly available) should be out in 2-5 weeks. Pricing should be fairly equal to that of good quality METAL emblems (yes, my repo's are metal instead of plastic) at about $15/piece.

The next few items are the early-83 TC only door panel "Birds", the 87-88 "Thunderbird" and "Turbo Coupe" trunk script, and the 87-88 c-pillar "Bird".

These are MUCH nicer then the factory plastic emblems, and will really dress up the car.

If you have any questions, or are interested in these, please post up or shoot me an email.

Thanks!

Here's what's in the pipeline:

83-84 TC/XR7 "EFI-Turbo" fender script
87-88 "Thunderbird" trunk script
87-88 TC "Turbo Coupe" trunk script
83 TC door panel :birdsmiley:
87-88 c-pillar :birdsmiley:  (does anybody know if it's the same as an 85-86?)

Other emblems I have that *could* be made into emblems:
87-88 TC header panel :birdsmiley:
87-88 TBird grill :birdsmiley:
83-84 c-pillar :birdsmiley:
83-84 grill :birdsmiley:

I do not have ANY other emblems in nice enough shape to remake. If you guys (especially the Cougar stuff) want it, I have to be able to buy/borrow the emblems in order to make the molds.

Here are shots of the PROTOTYPE emblems.

The original emblems are plastic, these are made of metal. I have to clean up one of each perfect to be used as the mold basis of the PRODUCTION versions.

These will be the first two TBird/Cougar Emblems made (the 83-86 "EFI_Turbo" fender script, and the 83 TC door panel "Bird", since they can both easily be adapted to other projects).

Note that the bottom EFI_Turbo emblem is CHROME PLATED. This is how the final production emblems will come. The proper black painting will be optional (at no charge) so you can have the option of custom painting them, or solid chrome.

These are handmade out of Florida. We will be aiming for UNDER $20 each on the finished, chrome plated emblems. That's very competitive price with other PLATED and METAL emblems on the market for other cars.

Any questions?

Titusville. My dear old grandad is making them actually (he does AMC emblems, hence the AMC stuff in the background of the last photo). If you see any AMX's smoking the tires down there, it's probably him (watch out for the Big Bad Blue 69 AMX with the flat black hood, it may look stock on Pro-Stars, but it goes 9.30's n/a).

LOL, Ok Eric I'll get right on that. It's really hard to take pictures of such fresh chrome :hick:

A tripod and some good back lighting so you can turn off the flash on the camera does wonders for those kind of shots. ;)

OK, here's some new pictures.

EFI_Turbo ones again, the top one is the "rawest" casting, all the way down to the bottom "plated" one. The "E" has some issues I'm trying to work out right now.

The AMC emblems are to give you an idea of how nice the "finished" stuff is. The top is a "raw" one and the bottom is a "final product". Yes, it does have the mounting studs (a feature the c-pillar Birds will have).
