Custom Dash Emblem

I put a Z28 emblem with "5.0 Liter H.O." off of an 84 Z28 years ago on my car. It looked better than the regular Z28 and when I was hopping up the LG4, it was went pretty good with the car. Well, since the 305 has long since puked, I have had a 350 in the car, and now I have a 383 in it. So, I decided to update my emblem with the engine. I was careful to machine in the correct factory fonts, and I think it's a tasteful addition. what do you guys think??

If your not familiar with what the 84 "5.0 Liter HO" emblem looked like, this is it.

Thanks for compliments guys. It feels good to spend time working on things and have people appreciate it.

I could actually do SOME for people who were interested. That's not to say I can do a LOT of them, because I have to do stuff like this on the CNC mill at work, so naturally I have to do it between set-ups and in spare time. But send me an E mail if you're truly interested. I will need to an IROC dash emblem (The "IROC" ones have the letters painted on, instead of being engaved) to cut it on because the old style ones either don't have the space at the bottom, or the "Cross-fire Injected" and the "5.0 Liter H.O." ones are already the engraved pretty deeply.
