Frustration with missing emblems

[ghetdjc320]

I am putting the finishing touches  on my MJ restoration and having a very hard time finding "comanche" emblems for the fenders and/or tailgate. It frustrates me to no end to see that most people remove and hoard the emblems all to themselves or try to sell them for ridiculous prices because they are rare. So I decided to vector trace an original and give everyone the JPG and AI file so they can print their own on vinyl. I would like to get a 3d model file format as well for 3d printing so everyone can have access to it in full emblem for if they want. Once I get the 3d file I will post it as well.

Just have the AI file sent to your local vinyl printing shop and have them make as many as you need.

The dimensions are based on the original and are approx 9" long and 1" tall

I was wondering why you were having a hard time finding emblems.... you’re in Guam! That explains it. Military? Dependent? Local?  Being stationed overseas I know it was less expensive getting sent items shipped to an APO address. Keep scouring our for sale section. Those items pop up there frequently! Good luck!

Yeah, Ive been searching ebay and the classifieds section and they are all gone or if/when they are available they cost far to much. I noticed a couple of members were trying to get a vinyl graphic that looked like the original. I'm military family but I do contract work on Guam. Moved here last year. We have access to use the FPO but we are serviced by USPS so its the same price as shipping anything domestic and there are no customs since we are part of the US. Priority mail takes about 5 days to get here from the conus.

I have a pair you can have for cheap, one is in pretty good shape, the other not as good. PM me if interested.

Also chrome vinyl wrap can work wonders if used correctly on these old emblems.

These emblems have been out of production for quite some time now. With the attached file you can send it straight to your local vinyl printer and have your own set of decal/emblems. Hopefully some can make good use of these files.

Know anyone with a 3D printer?

Our local ups store in Texas had one

This might be a good thread to add to the DIY section/index maybe? So the file doesn't get buried under pages of tech posts and lost.
