Custom Displacement Badges
 

I've spent the last couple of months tinkering with making some custom displacement badges for a few of my dad's (jbell959) cars. He has a 71T with a 2.5 and a 73 RSR clone with a 3.5 so I wanted to make some badges to match and I've finally gotten some results that I am happy with. The numbers and back plates are CNC machined on my CNC router and then powdercoated and assembled. They are held on to the decklid grill with studs and locknuts. Right now I only have the powdercoat to do the numbers in silver but I'm going to try some in gold to match the badges on the early cars soon.

I have a bunch of extra materials that I bought to make these so if anyone wants one send me a PM.

Looks great I’ll be in touch once I figure out what I need

I am interested in a 2.8 badge. If you can do this, please email willIXXIrs(at)aol.com. Very impressed with your work here.

PM sent. Thank you!

I test fit the 3.5 badge on my dad's 71T and it fit just as expected. I ran into a hickup with the stainless nuts I bought so I'm going to test some others but otherwise I'm very happy with the result.

This particular one will go on my dad's 73 RSR clone and the 71T will get a 2.5 badge with gold lettering once I get the gold powder from UPS. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...accc9e73ed.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7930cd83ce.jpg

Update, I got some new hardware so the problems I was having before are solved. I also put together a mockup black on black badge that I'm pretty happy with. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...50f7751b54.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1109fc25e4.jpg

I've been following your build, it looks amazing. The gold powdercoat didn't work out too well so I'm looking into using a 2 part paint/clear instead. I'll update when I have some progress on that hopefully in the next couple weeks.

I'm interested in a 3.8. Silver and black.
your badge is just what I've been looking for. Thanks, Greg

PM sent just now. Thanks

Actually, I am just finishing a 3.8 car and just about to start a car that will be 3.0.

So, I'd like one of each, please. Both with silver numbers and black background. I sent a PM already. Thanks, greg

My new 3.8L badge from SBell arrived yesterday and is not happily installed on my car. Thanks Spencer! I'll be back for another when my next project is ready.

Thanks for the update. The car looks great!

Might it be a Carrera 3.0?

Finally an update! I've finally picked a gold paint that I think looks the best next to the factory gold badges. I plan on clear coating them in a 2 part gloss so that they are durable. I hope to be able to do the gold numbers in batches since the 2K clear only has a pot life of 2 days and a can is relatively expensive. Here are a couple pictures of the gold badge I made for my dad's 71T pre-clear. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...172f2af14e.jpg

very nice!

Sleeper guy here, please create a a "Mezger" emblem for me. :D

Here are some examples of some badges I've made for Pelicans. It's been great for keeping me sane while I'm home from college. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a1f37bbba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ee8061976a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cc3b823778.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...068d123635.jpg

I recently finished this 3.2ss badge for a Pelican and I think it came out pretty nice. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7e9785d826.jpg

Finally finished a couple gold badges. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

Also for those interested here's a link to my thread in the FS section with some more info on these.

I've still got materials for some more of these badges. I've also started making some more custom badges for Pelicans.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...84ff7ba164.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6d3abf5716.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6dcb1d8996.jpg

so is a 913 a 2 cylinder, since 912 is a 4 cylinder?

I think they were going on an outlaw 912 build.

These are just *so* nice... I wish I could convince myself that there is a good place to put one on my (no-factory-rear-badge) M491. Beautiful work.

I just tried out another chrome powdercoat that is a little more reflective but a darker color than the aluminum color I've been using.

I'll have them both as an option until I return to school in September. So, if you want one now is the time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fed1893d6e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...af59322d19.jpg

If anyone is sitting on these...don't. The quality is amazing on these. Spencer knocks these out of the park. To say he met my expectations is a gross understatement.

Thanks Jayson, those ones are always a fun challenge.

I will be going back to college in about 3 weeks so if you're thinking about one of these now is the time. Otherwise, I'll probably try to do a few during the Christmas holiday. Thanks everyone!

Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Spencer, are you making the badges? I’m interested in another. Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg, I am current up at college so not at the moment. I'm going to try to make some during my Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. I'll post something in this thread in a couple weeks and collect a list of people who are interested.

Hi everyone, it's almost Thanksgiving which also means I'll be home for the holidays soon and I plan to make some more badges if anyone is interested. This may be the only for quite a while so if you want a badge, now is the time. Just send me a PM and we can discuss what you're looking for. Thanks everyone!

Hi Spencer :)

I have sent you a PM.

Spencer, are you back in business making displacement badges?
