Roll Call: Who on site does custom work on the side - 3d printing, engraving, machining, vinyl graphics, etc

A buddy of mine wants the old script "El Camino" emblem on his GBody El Camino. I looked for a 2-ply (2-color) material to try & found something from Rowmark. The samples they sent are thin (1/16", too thin) and are brushed aluminum faced instead of chrome, but after reading this thread again I thought what the heck, and test cut it. Results are below. As expected... it's visually too thin, and the brushed face doesn't pop like chrome would. But, it's feasible, inexpensive and cool & unique things could be done with this.

I got some minor skills. I can do hobbyist repro and custom decals that you can't seem to find anywhere else, and Chevy/Olds G-body window stickers for your car.

I can punch cut keys to replace your old worn out ones, make new keys from your locks, even if you lost the keys (would require lock disassembly). Also I can rebuild your door locks and glovebox locks, key them the same if needed, etc. Just ask oldsofb if he's satisfied.

since I'll be doing a front end swap with a Cutlass Supreme, does that make it a Camino Supreme or a Cutmino? I like the old script like your Grand Prix pictured above

How about an "Olds Camino" ??

You can add an "H" and go nuts with the Cutty Shark theme. A shark face on the front fenders with teeth showing, a grey/ charcoal color scheme with red interior, and a shark fin antenna on the roof.

Its not something I do, but something I have used on a few of my vehicles and have enjoyed how willing the guy is to continue to a design to get you what you want. I believe he has started 3d printing as well which to be honest I would like even more. Totally get if this gets deleted since it doesn't totally fit the post

That is some high quality looking work on those decals and badges. Dude, Your Monte is Sinister Schweet .
