Don't hafta show 'em to us if you don't want to but by all means, take pics of your progress as you go. Can't put it into words as to why but you'll be glad you did.
Need any help just holler, plenty willing to help here on the boards.

eager to see the final product,

Starting the Font design not sure which one to use just yet the one farthest to the right is a close in size as the orginal ford emblem the others just need to be brought down to fit now i didnt know what to use the Super Coupe or the Super Charged which would be cooler maybe some imput from the die hards on here :)

Just an FYI, the font for the lettering on our cars is very close to the "Beaumont" font. I used it for my t-shirts. Not sayin' that's what you should use, just lettin' ya know.

seems the dremel likes to eat my project up im on the 2nd one now LOL had to enlarge the letters a tad should have a finished one and pics posted this weekend stay tuned looks cool has a green neon glow on the outer edges with the letters glowing green to .....i did mistake 1 thing thats the body shape on the trunk lid so i hopefully have a remedy i was thinking of getting a toaster oven out there heating the emblem up take it out and shape it to the body of course using sumthing that wont harm the paint duct tape are whatever then use a high temp sealer behind it so no water gets in the trunk are in the the logo :)
 
ok almost done :) i love the way it glows green off the edges looks killer against the paint :D i guess if i have a theme its gonna be green and black so this is the start
