Hey Brownie, let me know how the replicating of the badge goes. I had the passenger side wood trim replaced (slight crack) - ARI (Automotive Restorations Inc) - sent it out to some place in CA who made a matching piece of trim - pretty cool. Good luck!

Hi Craig
I'm going to make a copy of my nose badge, hopefully it turns out well. I don't want to keep my original on the car just in case it gets lost. I painted my wheel caps with enamel paint, that worked well. I'm still working on how to repair/replace the wood trim on the window edge.
