318 custom badging?

Awesome. I'll get to drawing it up in the next few days.

Your choice for the "1" with or without a lower bar.

Probably have to shrink the whole thing down a little to make it fit the double hood scoops

Take a photo of the emblem and scale it to a size you like and try it on the scoop. Once you find the right size get me the dimension
 
I REALLY LOVE THIS!!! Even better if there was a "right" and "left" version (one slanted right - like these , one slanted left, so they would both be slanted forward on the scoop. Where did these come from????

At least the "8" matches the "3" now.

I agree, needs L and R slant.
 
@Dana67Dart has been hard at work creating what we need to take these emblems to the next step.

I mocked up one of his prints this weekend.

Excited for him to put the finishing touches on the drawings! Huge thanks to him for doing this!

Just IMO, but that style emblem looks better on the fender.

This style looks "right" to me on a scoop or power bulge-

I like that one too but I don’t think there is enough room on this scoop for that long emblem at least oriented the same way.

We used the factory 340 pin holes to locate this one in the same space. To mount the longer one on the scoop, it would run uphill in the back? Like the 340 call-out, the emblem above sits parallel to the ground.

That would be perfect to have the pins the same as the 340 emblem. I could use a couple myself.

Update. I sent @Dana67Dart 's emblem file to an online vendor to have printed in 316L steel. I chose the polished option but you could still see the print layers. I spent some time sanding the surface with some 1200 grit paper until the print layers were leveled out. I painted the emblem then wiped off the surface while the paint was still wet leaving the sides in black. Turned out pretty good!

That looks perfect!
 
Gotta ask how much that cost.
 
That's better than the repro 383/440 badges!

for sure. these are smaller though too. the numbers are the same size as the 340 hood scoop callouts. but yea, $60 and a little sanding/paintwork for a pair isn't bad.
 
Any chance you could arrange a bulk buy if folks paid up front?
