Cam Cover Emblems
 

Talked to a company today that makes enamel emblems, they looked at the cam cover emblems and said they can make them, just need to check and verify heat resistence. tooling fees are minimal.

Any interest.....I do not think the cost will be much or am I chasing something that has been addressed.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

JeffVette has a limited supply of aftermarket ones that he's selling, but I don't know if he has enough to meet future demands.
He's hand painting them, and from what I've seen they look pretty sharp.

I'd buy a pair.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

I don't especially need any right now but would be happy to sign up for a couple to help the cause.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

I will want to make sure these hold up and are good first. If they look like crap, will just let it go....they were very interested when I sent it to them. I will have a tooling cost of about $100.

The adhesive might be the biggest challenge.

They may also be able to do key chains from the emblem, two sided, maybe with 3/4 digit VINs on the back, alot of options.

I will get the material info first. Price should be very very reasonable but let me confirm first.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

:thumbsup: Keep us posted Lee im interested in the listed above aspect of the project.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Lee,i kept my OE emblems off my cam covers this time,was going to buy a set of aftermarket.

If you get these done at a decent price i also am interested.

I would love to get a key chain version with year and VIN :thumbsup:

Black high temp RTV works great.

Let me know.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Great Project!
I'm interested!

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Cool!

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Company confirmed today that the cam emblem can he made with high temp enamel and would do fine with underhood temps. I need to get a cam emblem to them and they will send it over to build the die.

If interested we can incorporate the 3/4 digit VIN...other things we can have made:

-Coins with Vin stamp on back
-Key chains
-Bottle openers

Start up cost will be $125, they will send me a sample...colored sections will be done with enamel and the body will be black nickel finish.

Let me know your thoughts

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Sounds good, The 3/4 digit number being available is a neat idea. Keep us posted -- we want pics when you have one in your hands! :cool:

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Emblem is on its way overseas to see if they can copy it, including the slight curve

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Sure hope this turns out! Thanks for the effort Lee.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

just got a note, they can match the curve on the emblem!

Example of their work:

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Wow. Looks like that'll work :thumbsup:

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Looks like they are preparing to stamp these out, should have pics soon and hopefully some samples to test.

I am looking at about $15.00 per emblem by the numbers they have given me now. I am going to do 90 emblem first, as I need to pay a set up fee for each version and want to make sure these look good.

Does the price seem fair if emblem looks good?

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Sounds good to me! I especially like the key-chain idea! I have a 4-digit #, so the 3-digit does not appeal per se.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Price sounds fair and when you get the 1995 model done put me down for 2 :cheers:

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Lee, at that price i will take 4 (2 sets).

I'll keep my stock ones, between the stock emblems and ECM cover a few more years i will be the next Bill Gates :dancing

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

I'll take a couple too

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Lee,
When you get to the late model design, I'll take 8 (4 sets)

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Count me in as interested in the '90 emblem. But it's gotta look GOOD! Mine are not that bad. The hand painted ones are certainly better than a bad emblem, or no emblem, but most of them look hand-painted. Not meant as a knock, but I'd love to get ones that look just like new, but don't cost an arm and a leg. :)

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Well, we are about 2 weeks from samples being sent out, these will mad eof aluminum and coated in cloisonne enamel, which is the same stuff BMWs emblems are coated with on the older cars before they went to plastics, etc

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

I want 2 90 ones.. saves me from refinishing mine

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Lee:

Count me in for a pair for my '90.
Don't really need 'em, but what the heck, might as well have a new set for when Jeffie & LocoBob P&P&PC's my top end.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

They sent me the quote, they originally wanted to use the same paint that the emblem came with, but unlikely it would last. i asked that they try to more expensive paint as they said is was "super hard"

It will cost me an extra $2 per emblem, but I will eat that cost.

Only concern is that they might look better (More high line) than originals, which might be a negative.

Thoughts?

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

For OEM, a negative, but for me that will look good!!

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Oh, hoss fethahs! $2 is not a big overrun.:thumbsup:

I'm down for a pair (90s), and I'd be interested in the key-chain bob too, if that is also in the mix!;)

And, thanks for taking the time to run this down. I'm looking forward to the set!

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Lee, I am interested in a pair of emblems for a '90.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to make our cars look better.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

I hope they turn out, but can't help but think this should be easy for them.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

I am with Ryan. Let me know when you start taking orders.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

If you need an atomic orange emblem, might be able to swing that for a few extra bucks

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 

Interesting. I would go for a set of 90's and a set with the atomic orange emblem.
