in metal?????? Anyone out there?
I am looking for a company that can do some custom embossing or metal stamping, something like the raised letters in the Chrysler OLD SCHOOL CHRYSLER HEMI FIREPOWER valve covers, ect?????

I want to get some small panels done that I can fabricate into some hotrod projects????? Maybe a name of a hotrod vabed into my 38 plymouth or others?

Any suggestion???????/

Dave

I read an article a very long time ago about using bondo to make a die to stamp a name in flat sheet metal for a tailgate. I think they first cut the letters out of wood and attached them to the bottom of a wooden tray. I can't remember how they made the bondo not stick to the wood. Maybe paint the wood then wax. After they filled the tray with like 3" of bond,hardened they removed all the wood. They made the other side of the die the same way. They used a shop press with plates sandwiching the bondo dies. It did a pretty good job. Smaller pieces with very little draw shouldn't be too hard. as for companies no help, btt

I could make the punch and die on my CNC for you , but I don't have the press to do the actual stamping. My CNC's are prototype machines so they are great for making one off things. PM for my # and we can discuss it.

Thanks,

Steve
