sinkrun Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Talked to one of his workers who used program and run the mill he said he should have the tooling already to do the work which is good as this will keep the cost down. One thing he will not do is the chrysler emblem due to copyright stuff. Just the Comanche would be fine. Can I get idea on size or type of metal? This would have to be on the thicker side due to just being able to Vise the part and not build a fixture (more cost)I think 1/8 inch maybe. I will try to talk to the actual owner this week so shot me some sizes and maybe I can get some cad drawings so you guy can see it. This is my idea on metals, Aluminum, Brass or IMO Stainless would be the best since is lasts forever never wares or dulls but would cost the most. I have some other ideas but want to run them by him first to see if its possible as he knows more than I do.
Automan2164 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Steel or stainless, and just a mini of the later model "Comanche" badge. That's got my vote. Maybe the height of however a bandaid is wide, and long enough to be proportional. Rob L.
sinkrun Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 How about a Comanche Club one??? Just a thought

the_wizard_of_fire Posted December 22, 2009 Author Posted December 22, 2009 :drool: but if its only a limited run, they would probly cost 15 bucks
ICEBOX Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Ok the other thing I was thinking of what about something like this I found on Ebay . maybe we can contact a key chain maker and have them make us some if we get enough pre-orders
ICEBOX Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Hey also found this place. they make em http://www.keychainsusa.com/default.aspx
dakal Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 i just contacted them. on second thought, before contacting them and idea of what everybody can live with would be helpful. go to their site. http://www.epromos.com/product/8833279.html ????????????????????????
Automan2164 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 This thing on? I might just have to check on the mini emblem thing myself. Anyone else interested in that? Rob L. :D
dakal Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 what do you mean. it would be helpful if we could all view it. i will front the money for the order. if it costs 5$ for the chain then it would be that and the freight. but looking at them most of them are less than 5$. like 2.25$ per item, times 49 items plus a 50 to 60$ set up fee. so that would be 2.25x49+60$= 170.25$ divided by 49 is 3.48$. plus freight to you. this is an example. i want a good one not a cheap one :yes:

(which, i know, will never happen unless someone on here has one, :mad: damn pentastar..... but it looks cool....)
the_wizard_of_fire Posted December 22, 2009 Author Posted December 22, 2009 there is this option... http://cgi.ebay.com/JEEP-PEWTER-WORD-KEY-CHAIN-RING-NEW-KEYCHAIN_W0QQitemZ180365127394QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApparel_Merchandise?hash=item29fe996ee2 but its not as cool
