    I am looking for someone (preferably in the midwest, as I live in the Chicagoland area) that can CNC mill or router a "V8" design similar to the one shown on the hubcap below into the top of a cast aluminum intake manifold. There is a flat, smooth 2.25"×12.75" raised pad on the top that would be ideal for this. I would like the design to be around 1/16" wide, and substantially deep enough to fill with black paint. If anybody from the community has any shops they'd recommend, PLEASE let me know. This is a small but important detail on the Legacy '36 project I am completing in honor of my dad. THANKS !

    Thanks, but the laser engravers that I talked to suggested finding someone with a CNC milling machine or CNC router to do this. They said it CAN be done with a laser, but, due to the high reflectivity and relatively low melting point of aluminum, it would be far more expensive to do with a laser.
