500 hood badge

My 500 had the original hood badge, but in really bad shape. I decided to make a replica. This is just off the mill. I need to do the paint inlays and then wet-sand and polish the face.

I'll post additional pics when I get it further along.
 
How much do you want to make another one? I bought a new DB emblem,painted it black and put an Oliver decal on it for my gasser. My diesel needs one too.
 
I want to finish it up to be sure it would be good enough to sell. It would be best to get a few other 500 (maybe 600 too) owners interested too. The more I make, the better the price.
 
I wonder if maybe you should send a picture of that to Nelson LeCount? He's been sending out a newsletter every now and then to folks who are on the serial number registration.
 
Yes, I was planning to send Nelson a pic.

I'm going to try to get it painted and polished by tomorrow so will be able to see the final appearance and see how much time that takes in addition to the CNC machining.
 
Be sure to post a pic when you get it done. I'm definitely interested in one,maybe two,when you get to making them.
 
Looks like top notch work to me, I could use one for my 500 as well but my tractor needs lots of mechanical attention before cosmetic.
 
Sharp! If you want to make one or two more for me,let me know how much. I was gonna order a new DB emblem when I order some other stuff out of England that I can't get here,but if you'll make one or two,I'd a whole lot rather have one of yours than paint another one and put a decal on it.
 
I sent a picture of it to Nelson to see if there is any interest from the registry folks.

I had to buy a 10"x12" piece of the plastic so there is material for extras.

I'm needing some stuff from England too. Any interest in trying to combine an order and split the shipping?
 
We could try,but it'd probably have to be split up somewhere and forwarded if he chose to put it all in one box to ship it. We could ask.
 
Just ship it all to your location then split it up and UPS on to me should work. Do you have a Paypal account? I use them quite a lot and it is a convenient way to swap funds.
 
No,I don't. I had to activate international calling on my phone and call England last time just to use a Visa to get the stuff sent to me.
 
I'm going to go ahead and make a small batch of badges. I'll start on them tomorrow.

I chatted a bit with Nelson LeCount and he said he would put a notice in the next letter he sends to the 500/600 S/N registry members.
