Projects SEEKING "Ford" script

My T-bucket body is a Total branded body and I just CANT leave that script in the tailgate.
Does anyone happen to have a broken hunk off their body, or maybe someone thats pulled a mold or any other suggestions on gl***ing in the embossed script?

My next best guess of an idea will be to cut the letters out of 1/8 inch wood and laminate them to the body. Though this method I fear expansion and contraction will make it not last as long as I want.

Ideas?

 

I used the script cut from a Model T running board grafted into a piece of sheet metal on the Studebaker bed/tailgate to cover Studebaker embossing. The Model T script is a bit smaller than I wanted but the price was right.

 

You could always cut the script from an f1 tailgate. They are a lot easier to find

 

Gearhead, I'm pretty sure if you go on that auction site you'll find pieces of new sheetmetal with the Ford logo.

 

I do not think you guys read the OP's post very well. He has a gl*** gate with a "ford" script in it already. He doesn't want it there. He wants to chop his gate up, remove the logo and fill it with a new piece of gl***. Anyway this is what I read.

Take a trip to the corvette bone yard.

 

My guess is the current tailgate reads "total" and the op want to replace that with the Ford script

Bandit, reread the post ***le and all. He says seeking Ford script and talks about cutting letters out of wood and gl***ing them in as an option.

 

If it's smooth, (or not ,maybe a Total logo) why not just a vinyl script on a smoothed tailgate ? I know it's not raised, but it's a rod

 

Ford Tractor Script is more period correct.

 

Speedway and others sell a Ford script logo in br*** or chrome about 8-9 inches long. About right size for a tailgate . Apply with double sided trim tape.

 

Ohhhh dude, I get it now. Wait, what?

 

Yes. Wanting ford script to put on my bucket tailgate. Preferably gl***. (Speedway tailgate is smooth)
Gotta be some way...

 

Places like Home Depot sell 4×8 fibergl*** sheets for bathroom renovation. Find a chunk big enough, cut FORD out with a bandsaw and glue it on. Incidentally, a friend with a t-bucket took his car to another body man friend and it came back with the FORD logo erased. Wasn't in his plans.

Get hold of a metal script,and use it to make a fibergl*** mold.Fill the new mold with fine gl***,and resin to product a fibergl*** insert.Cut the center out of the gl*** tail gate,and insert the new gl*** script panel.Sand,and finish.

 

Or, if you know someone with a good, high-res 3D printer, you can print the exact style and size you want from a variety of materials and bond it to the gl***.

 

I don't get any of this. You have a Gl*** body I'm guessing on a Kit ch***is with a Chevy motor on it. Am I wrong? Why do you want it to say Ford?

 

Doesn't matter, HIS car,HE wants it!!LOL

 

I get it. TOTAL-ly.

 

Man. My first thought was just get some gl*** roll, resin, and a Ford script template. Thinking setting up some gl***, to trace & cut a pattern ... & bonding it to your panel, would be easy.

BUT ...

... reality set in. F*ck that ! That would be a ton of detail sanding, reglazing, & detail sanding again, between those letters to not look like sh*t.

Instead ... just call these guys >

$150 for the whole fibergl*** box. Maybe they can work a smaller quote for just the rear panel you need ?
