I have been working on a few projects recently and have found that I can polish these badges to a mirror finish. I have a lot of new equipment at the foundry and the finish of these pieces is exponentially better and more consistent over powder coating. I will either be starting a new thread or editing this one to reflect the current product and options. I am no professional photographer and have found its no easy task taking pictures of polished metal. I continue to strive for perfection in these but I believe it's the imperfections that make these unique and truly one of a kind, which hopefully I've captured in my photos. I have done a handful of projects recently using these techniques but these badges pictures are the 1st of their kind and any badges following will be at a minimum of this quality if not higher as I continue to perfect my methods and equipment.
At this time I am not bringing out any new number combinations but appreciate the demand. Please keep in mind that I do this as a hobby and do have an actual day job. When work evens out and I have more free time I will absolutely make those combinations that are commonly asked for. I am however opening up shop again for my "stock pieces" those pieces include; 327,330,332,335,s52 and the turbo script. I have a limited number of turbo scripts that are currently cast, but if the demand increases then I will hapilly cast more. The 340 in the picture I think is the only one left. If I get a number of responses looking for them I will use it as my master and make more. If not then it is first come first served. I also have on hand a surplus of I,is,e,es, and ix badges.
Because I'm now very proud to offer an amazing product I will have a slight increase in price to $50. $50 gets you a set of numbers and a suffix of your choosing. The suffix (is,es) is the easy part and I include it in the price to guarantee you have a matching set. If you only want the suffix they are $10.
For my past customers... If you have ordered from me and it can be verified (I have records) I will offer you a replacement of this higher quality badge for $35.00 instead of $50.
All prices include s/h
I am working on the next batch this weekend and throughout the week. If things go according to plan I should be shipping by the end of the week. If you are ready to order please send a pm and I will confirm that you are on the list. Payment is expected before shipping.
Thanks again everyone for making this an enjoyable hobby!!!
These look nice. I wonder if I should just buy 2 (340) badges and and try to cut and piece them for a 344? It seems like a lot of members here have swapped to the 4.4 M62.
I think the 340 pictured is sold but if I can find another one I know I have extra 4's I can send you one. Sometime this winter I will probably bring new combinations out if you want to wait.
The new ones look great!! Glad to see you're still around friend.

Thanks. Winter would probably work for me. I am respraying my car and want to put new badges on it. I would be willing to pay extra.
