I currently have the logo and LS engraving on ebay, no engraving would be easy to do also.

Any suggestions for engraving?
I wouldn't want to suggest anything that you would get stuck with. I don't know if your machining them or having some one else do them.

I had a few Ideas but again I wouldnt want you to get stuck with them.

1. The nuclear radiation symbol.
2. SS Logo. preferable the Silverado SS version.
3. Maybe a Trubo on there.
4 Ford Swap Guys may want a Ford logo but unless you got a request I wouldnt do it.

Hey all, thanks for the feedback, its appreciated.
Here is a couple drafts I put together. Like you said, I don't want to get stuck with them, so possibly as a 1-off, or special request. I'll put a listing for blank ones on ebay soon.

At least for the near future I will likely be willing to make any of these or possibly custom requests. Just understand, I have a day job, so design and fab time for custom engraving may not be as quick to ship out.






I believe this one was a custom request also from shakenfake.

Would one that looks like a tire look stupid, or like its a tire peeling out. I've read some of yall are already providing the smoke look to it.

Yeah, I think those are cool, and you should see how many are options, but I would see how it would only make sense to do em special request. Maybe some with initials, or 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 408. I'm gonna reach really far with this one, but how about a little boy with his back to you, and his finger in it, like he's plugging the hole on the dyke to keep it from leaking. One that looks like it's being held on by duct tape / zip ties. One that looks like the crankshaft with the lobes in 3d.

I engraved a 3 start spiral, and PT.net this evening on some stock to see how it looked in real life, real happy with the results. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
I have the "bowtie", "LS" and one blank on my ebay, ready to ship at this time.

I can make "performancetrucks.net", or the 3 start spiral, as a requested. Please DM me to request / purchase, I would expect them to ship next week.

Can you make one with the C5 Corvette flags? Would you need a .DXF to get the geometry from?

I don't think you can see the C5 threads in the car, but I'm about dumb **** like this on a car I have hood up for 9mo a year on anyway

EDIT: I was thinking single line contour with a .010" BEM with ~.004" depth of cut, since there is a lot of detail on the flags
