I started working on this a year ago,got burnt out on it and let it sit for awhile but I'm working on it again. After I get all the characters cut out I'll need to make a mold off of this and then make a few.
Nice, if possible try to make it out of ? but something softer than fiberglass, I have 1, made of fiberglass & it chips easier than the rest of the front of the car as that is a softer product
That looks like a LOT of work. Looks good and should make a great filler when your done
It is a lot of work,each character has to be perfect,that's the reason I got burned out on the thing and it sat on a shelf for the past year. This will look nothing like the original that somebody made years ago. This is a picture of that filler panel.

This looks like the 1 I have painted twice now, I guess not too bad for 8-10 years & 30-40 k miles
Ran into an obstacle,I put so much primer on this thing that it warped in a few spots so I have to start over😡. So now I'm looking for a new GM filler panel. Average price is about $100 so I'll wait a few days before I buy one if anybody sees any for less than $100 could you let me know? I've seen these for as little as $50.

Are you any good with fiberglass?
I made a mold of my original on my Z06. I wrapped the original in aluminum foil, and layed up 2 layers of fiberglass. I was able to still flex the mold to get it out. then I built off that. far from perfect, but if you calculate right, you can probably mold those letters into the front instead of cutting them out.
It is not perfect, and you can cut and sand to get you there. Just need a place to start.

Can't mold characters because there aren't any,the design is something I made off an original bumper emblem,just blew it up until I got the size I wanted. I've worked with fiberglass a little,I'm going to pull a plug off of this,providing I get that far.
