Shagy Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have been thinking about this for a while. So I made a little test emblem. The actual one when I'm done will be about 1/4" thick. I'm also going to make the "DATSUN" emblems like on the fenders and if wanted...I'll make a "RATSUN" one. I've also started to make the glove box logo thats on the 510's, not sure if it is on other lines... Here is the one that I did.... Please let me know your thoughts. I'm thinking about making these and reselling. they would attach with double sidded tape. Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm going to look into selling them as sets.... so it would be like this... 1 -510- emblem, 3 fender "datsun" emblems. On the Ratsun ones... should I do 2 or 3 fender emblems? Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 What thickness do you have in mind? I can etch on anything....but I'm not sure it would cut anything too thick. I believe is 30w. Quote Link to comment
