As the subject states here is a weird request that I don't think any here would have and answer to. Background: my truck's in the shop getting the bodywork and paint done, the tailgate is pretty much shot, but the guy can re-weld the middle panel, fix up the top and bottom and is planning to weld a plain panel over the middle section where it used to say Chevrolet (this section is BEYOND repair). I was tipping a few brown ones with a friend of mine tonight who own's a laser fabrication company and said that he could make stainless letters for me to weld on to the panel. Here's the cost... one night of tipping beers on me and he will program the letters and cut them for me.
Now to the request that I'm sure no-one can help me with but worth the shot.... I was wondering if anyone had anything similar made and had the corel/autocad designs for this already programmed in to someone's system (YEAH RIGHT).
Next question where I might be able to help other is, would anyone else be interested in CHEVROLET cut out in seperate stainless stell letters? I'll ask what he'd charge for non-20 year friends and look into the shipping that would be involved if more people are in this predicament or can find other uses for such letters.
Now to find a good picture/printout of the original CHEVROLET lettering that he can copy (other than taking my old tailgate in to him).
Lorne.
P.S.
How bad (in your opinion) would my truck look in the teal green shade that some (including mine) of the newer 88-9x Chevy/GMC's came in? I really like the colour of my 93 GMC 4x4 ext cab and so does the wife, so I was toying with the idea of going same shade with the '52 as I'm not currently doing a ground up anyways....
