    Looking at the cool grill insert modification that **** posted today got me thinking....

    I've see several guys here with custom designed and painted radiator badges and I think I would like to have one made.

    I guess I could take a new one or old and paint it but I kinda like the idea of having a enameled one made with HRP instead of Ford.

    Anyone ever have one made? HRP

    Any more examples?

    I'm sure this would apply to any early Ford,not just a Deuce. HRP

    Your design looks a bit modern.

    Granted,I am inept at photoshop and totally agree that a different script would be more desirable. HRP

    I gotta agree, Danny, some more traditional script might look more appropriate.

    Change it up but use the original ford font, that way when someone sees it they will think its original but then they will do a double take. Just my two cents.

  26. LOL get one with a duck painted on it. :D :D

    I would think that if you could incorporate flatheads forever in it somehow that would be pretty slick. ;)
     
  27. Crossed confederate flags it could be the ford equivalent of the GM emblem. Kind of like the flathead giving the finger to one of my valve in head motors. :D
