i just put it on. i cant wait to see it at night

 

with the light on

 

thats nice.....did you just make that plate yourself or what?

 

yep. just finished it today. i cut it out of metal and then painted it

 

it looks really good.....at night it will be wicked

 

thats fuc*ing sweeet!

 

that's pretty sweet looking... nice job...

I hereby accept the challange and will build a chevy bowtie brake light mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

Hey good idea, I could cut something like that on the laser at work. How did you cut yours?

 

that would have been way quicker and alot less work!

i had to do it the old fashion way. file and a hole saw after i traced it out on it.
i used aluminum so it went a little faster.

wow.....that looks sweet

 

You can also make vinyl stickers for it

Lookin good Scott.... but that isn't going to make you any faster

 

hay smack talk on the other link!! dont make me report you.

i got somthing for you too.

 

Kewl...I did that with the Sunfire...made up a "GT" symbol.

 

Very nice... Programming those letters on the laser would be a nightmare (I don't use Autocad yet), but one it's programmed I could cut tonnes of them.

Did you use a little glue under the middle of the "A"? That must've been tricky to cut out.

 

SBlackfoot i might be able to get it onto auto cad for you. i will see what i can do.

what i did is i went and took a pic of the side logo. then loaded it into auto cad rescaled it to the size i wanted and printed it. i used that as a template. them just started cutting. so there is a thin piece of metal in the "A" just like the logo.

 

Yeah I noticed the middle of the "A" was attached, but it'd still be pretty fragile, especially since it's aluminum.

An autocad drawing would be great, if possible. It'd be pretty easy to run it through Cadcam and edit it for use on our lasers. .018" 316 should be thick enough.

Shh... Don't tell my boss... lol

 

That looks awesome dude. I was thinking about it, and how I could design one for Tran Am. I am thinking about using smoked plexiglass, and completely replace the original lense. I can download the T/A logo and then put it into my cad program to get it to size. Then place it onto the plexiglass on the inside and backwards and then paint over it with a black paint. Install and enjoy...I'm not sure if it's feasible yet, but I will let you all know if I do it.

 

ya... that was how my first atempt went too. it did not ture out all that great. so i when with this one. the light came through the black paint. #2 the paint was so thick that i could not get the template off fight and looked like crap

 

What about limosine tint and then cut out the letters? Eh, maybe not.I will play around with a few ideas. I don't have the necessary tools to do it in aluminum.
