A classic Marauder owner mailed me a full scale photo of a '63 S-55 fender badge, it's an awesome retro style. I would like to have it replicated in metal or plastic(?).
Does anyone know of shops that fabricate such items?

I tried search function but no viable results. Thanks

I'm still waiting on the God's Head emblems.
Anybody got a line on those being made?
I'm sure I was told, but I went to sleep and woke up since then:D

You mean this one:

This pair was up for bid on Ebay, and I was high bidder... for a while. The winner was willing to pay more than I was, considering these needed to be repaired and rechromed AND were missing mounting pins.

I've been in touch with a guy who makes cast emblems like this:

Who says he can replicate the badge. There is a licensing issue, however, and the license for a repro of this badge may be held by a company already. That said, the badge dude says he will check into it and this may be available if it works out. Note that the red part of the badge is painted.

If it comes about, expect price to be upwards of $75 each. This would be a vitually custom limited run.

I like this emblem, but I decided to go with the SEMA style S55 emblem that will be available soon.

YES, THAT'S IT.
(be still my heart)

Bless you my son, if it works out about the license I would like to have a pair.
Would you please keep me informed. Thanks.
