I may have bought something..

[eaglescout526]

I have excellent news gentlemen!! Phoenix graphics has accepted the challenge to reproduce the decal. I will send mine in to have it copied. It’s gonna be a tad bit pricey at like $55 which isn’t terrible. So once I get the copy back I will contact who ever is interested to get a number of how many I should have them produce.

 

I know I said $23 but the guy told me about $45 to make. Course cost may come down after they receive the decal. I will update this as more unravels. 

[eaglescout526]

So some updated news. They have been busy but they are finishing up the work on this decal. I should hopefully see it here in the next week or so.

[fiatslug87]

Any more updates on these?

[eaglescout526]

Oh man. It’s been a minute. I contacted them earlier this year and since Covid they have been down people but I haven’t contacted them since March. He still has the copies.

I can literally make these if there is demand. Especially if it looks just like the photo @fiatslug87 posted

 

I have a large commercial vinyl cutter that just collects dust

 

The only thing is initial cost to buy the adhesive vinyl. The rolls can get expensive quick. So it might help to have a queue of orders. I can put it on my website to make things easy.

 

[eaglescout526]

I think they are the same. I have one at home still so it might be bigger or it might not be. 

[howeitsdone]

If you can get me the dimensions then I can get at least the file done and then get some materials priced

 

Need:

Edge to edge (of word) width

Character height of the first "C" and any letter after

Thickness of the outline

Space between letters

 

The photo will help me get close, but the above dims will help me get near exact

 

I used to do this as a hobby/side-gig a while back

I can do that if fiat doesn’t get to it before I do.

Bumping this

 

Along with the decal above(which I still need to get ahold of that company, just been lazy) would anyone like these produced for any of their aux/fog lights?

 

They aren’t big. About an inch tall and inch and a half long. They aren’t made by me but have access to get them. 

 

My buddy Dan @ Jeep Heritage makes Marchal 850 emblems from aluminum.

Count me in for 2 Comanche windshield banners

 

[fiatslug87]

@Red Mistressdo you think he would sell them bare aluminum?

[Red Mistress]

He gets powder coating done by local to me shop.

 

I saw box of them getting done.

 

Will ask if bare ones handy and let you know.

I’ll concur with you when I get home. Hopefully there’s no difference.

I might need those for my Marchals but the ones in this thread are Sears lamps. 

[Red Mistress]

And just got reply they are all black powder coated.

[fiatslug87]

Thanks Dennis, I can strip the powder coating.

[russel730]

I'm interested in window decals should they become available.

[eaglescout526]

Mike mine concurs just in a different box. Better safe than sorry. 

[howeitsdone]

Thanks for the measurements!

 

Pretty straightforward

 

Only 2 more questions and it'll be ready to go.

 

Are the overlapping parts of the "a" and "e" solid or do they cut there? Also curious of the seam identified in the screenshot of the "e"

And does the tail of the "a" look correct? Hard to tell from photo.

 

 

[eaglescout526]

The “e” is open but the “a” over laps

 

[howeitsdone]

That "e" is tricky so I can't get it perfect but this is the best I can do without owning one myself. I'm moving the rest of the month so the cutter is being transported around, so I can probably get one made and sent to either of you after so you can compare and let me know how close we are.

 

[fiatslug87]

What’s the distance of the open end of the capital C? Should be 0.48”. Would scans help?

[eaglescout526]

What’s bad is phx graphics has it all scanned and everything…..

[howeitsdone]

What I have is about 2-tenths bigger 

 

Scans would be of huge help. If nothing else, I can redraw by hand that method. Even good, quality, head-on photos of each letter is like a scan. where I can scale based on a dimension and hand-draw. It's slightly tricky when the transfer sheet has words blocking parts, but not the end of the world.

[fiatslug87]

I’ll take some pics. PM me your email address, CC reduces the image quality.
